    I’m reminded of this great quote from The Big Lebowski: “Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”

    I’m reminded of Monty Python’s famous skit on the Philosophy World Cup. Look here:

    I certainly agree the choice is an awful one, but to say that UNESCO embarrasses itself in making it presupposes a great deal. UNESCO joins the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women in being unwilling to view that nation’s leaders as anything other than the regime of barbarians that they are.

    Philosophers playing politics to prove they are apolitical!
