Well!
We are all becoming rather acerbic aren't we?
First, there's Robin, for making the all too common remark about Western
philosophy. There's nothing worse that a Westerner who puts eastern
philosophy on a pedestal, without ever asking basic questions about the
social systems in which those philosophies emerged, which are just as flawed
as any in the West, in some ways moreso (especially if you're female).
Then there's Wade, with his crack about 'human' and 'academic'.
Where's all this anti-intellectual, anti-Western sentiment suddenly sprung
from?
