My philosophy is that it's dangerous to have a philosophy, and they're better avoided.

Wendigo My philosophy is that it's dangerous to have a philosophy, and they're better avoided. If you're serious, well I gotta say I hate that. I think there is a difference between 'having' a philosophy and being blindly dogmatic about it. Following a system which, at the very bare minimum, seems rational and accurate to you can only aid your understanding of reality and capacity to interact with the world. For example, even though I like concepts like Rostow's modernisation theory above and beyond Dependency Theory, I don't deny or reject it outright. In fact, it provides a strong and relevant critique of many of modernisation theories glaring gaps and holes. Also, what you said is a furfy because you're generally a lefty. A fairly sensible one, granted, but still..

The Curse I think there is a difference between 'having' a philosophy and being blindly dogmatic about it. Following a system which, at the very bare minimum, seems rational and accurate to you can only aid your understanding of reality and capacity to interact with the world. Ah, but you see. Once you choose a filter through which to view the world, human society, and your place in it, it colors your perception of everything after. Which means that discarding a filter which is no longer valid (or which never was) is difficult, if not impossible. Hence the dogmas. Quote: Also, what you said is a furfy because you're generally a lefty. A fairly sensible one, granted, but still.. No, seriously. I'm not just saying that.

Just that I don't agree with your analogy, I guess. Quote: No, seriously. I'm not just saying that. S'ok, you haven't liked me for a while now.

I dislike having my objectivity questioned by people who wouldn't know objectivity if it took a nailbat to their occipital lobe. It's this thing I have.

Would you say constructivist thought falls prey to that, since it's a bottom-up approach instead of top-down?

I question objectivity because I'm one of those wonks who thinks it's not achievable by people. Also I may not be objective but I think you'll find I'm one of the most empathetic people around. Arrogant as it sounds, even if I do flatly call you out as a lefty when we debate I'll pain myself to understand your view, even if I wont share its conclusions. I pride myself on that much.

Eh, it was just a light jab about constructivism being airy-fairy everyone is happy hippie theory. Not really a serious response. But given I declared myself a Neorealist, I mean unless you wants to start quoting Waltz and Wendt at each other for fun, best leave it for another thread.
