Well, if you are really into dinosaurs, you are probably going to need a lot of lube…

So, I showed these to a friend (disturbing images are always better shared), and then took a look at my “Customers Who Bought Items in Your Recent History Also Bought” list again just out of morbid curiosity. All of a sudden, it’s filled with books about making bowls and stuff on a lathe… you know, “turning wood” (actual the title of one of the books that showed up). Somehow, that seems way more disturbing than my earlier idea.

It is probably how they make the molds for casting silicone dino-cloaca-penis-thingies…

I’m guessing it’s really Newt Gingrich or John Boehner (pronounced boner) writing under a pen name.

They’ll still be making Ron Jeremy films.

And here we have a perfect illustration of the problem epistemologists refer to as logical omniscience. Knowing a rule is true entails, in many epistemologies, full knowledge of its consequences. But ordinary human experience just doesn’t work that way.

Yeah, that’s why, for the most part, epistemology is crap.

32

Epistemic systems are models of the abstract idea of what knowledge is; they’re not explanations of human behaviour. (If they were, they’d be called psychology, not philosophy.)

I am looking forward to seeing Rule 34 applied to epistemology, though, scatological or non.

33

Yeah, but philosophy doesn’t do itself any favours by talking about things that have nothing to do with reality. As you say, in many epistemologies we simply can’t know anything. This is about as real an idea of knowledge as “knowledge=function(x){return Math.random*x}”. Look, I just defined knowledge!

If philosophers sit around talking about logical systems that have no real life correlates then they should use specialized jargon and not tempt themselves to equivocate by using common words.

But let’s not forget: sexy, sexy dinosaurs.
