We dig into the biggest rivalry in Tamler\u2019s profession, analytic vs.\xa0continental philosophy. Are analytic philosophers truly the rigorous,\xa0precise, clear thinkers they take themselves to be? And is continental\xa0philosophy really just a bunch pretentious charlatans spouting French\xa0and German gibberish and writing obscure prose to mask the incoherence\xa0of their ideas? We look at a nice paper by Neil Levy that goes beyond\xa0the stereotypes and tries to describe and explain the differences\xa0between the two schools.

Plus, The University of Austin (sic) is back in the news and we have a\xa0report from someone who attended one of their Forbidden Courses. This\xa0should be so easy but the article has us deeply conflicted about what\xa0to make fun of.

[Important update: Trixie is on a 5 day streak of no accidents and is\xa0a perfect little sweet girl.]
