Eulero, I was once engaged to a woman who when I met her was teaching philosophy at Harvard. She was deeply inculcated in post modern philosophy. One day we were flying from Dubai to Singapore. When we landed I said the old pilots adage, "It's always nice to have as many landings as takeoffs. She, being a good post modern thinker, said, "that's not true I bet I can think of five different ways." I told her to go ahead. To which she came up with five different alternatives that would have killed everyone on board the plane. But, she was happy that she thought up five alternate worlds. And since she was my women I kissed her on the forehead and told her how smart she was. She was a smart girl, she spoke 36 languages. The last time I debate with a guy with a Phd in post modern philosophy I, as an engineer, stated I preferred my modernistic thinking because basically when I built a water treatment plant when it was done I had to flip a switch and either it worked or it did not. He said, "that's not true, I'll bet I can think of a different alternative." I told him to have at it, come up with an alternative. He did, he said, "You could flip the water treatment plant switch and get muddy water." And that's how a socialist thinks. We need to make society conform to the existence of planes crashing and killing people and drinking muddy water so government can show how smart it is imposing new systems on the masses. After a time the masses acclimate to muddy water and extol the virtue of the group drinking muddy water.
