Philosophy is for Cynics; Pop Culture is for Bimbos

"Philosophers, who devote much of their attention to remote texts, are seen by many as irretrievably elitist. But elitism isn't always bad. Professional sprinters, for example, are an elite group, too, but nobody holds it against them."


It's edutainment!
