In the advanced course, we learn that “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” is the natural result when you combine “knowledge is power” with “power corrupts”.
i took Philosophy my senior year of college and loved it and didn’t realize how much until last assignment and as the professor was handing back our last essays, he paused when he got to me, and said “Mr. O’Connell, i have a question for you, and many of your classmates have voiced the same opinion, but the question is, is there anyone, anyone at all, you do agree with?” with no hesitation i said, “yes sir, Jesus.”

A little lemming may be harmless, but a whole herd of them rushing at you would be a problem, Bucko.

I thought fools rushed in where wise men fear to tread. Hey Bucky…try this idiom….“If you want something done right do it yourself.”

After all, how smart can Descartes be when he has a sissy name like Rene and not Steve?

Bucky’s last line brought to mind the Monty Python song “Decomposing Composers”. Decomposing philosophers just doesn’t roll as well.

I guess Bucky has never thought about the similarities of lemmings to ferrets.

I understand they had Rene lead a funeral. They put DesCartes before the hearse.

Bucky knows who Descartes was? (And even spelled the name right?)
