From this week: ‘MOSCOW – An argument in southern Russia over philosopher Immanuel Kant, the author of “Critique of Pure Reason,” devolved into pure mayhem when one debater shot the other.’
But note this from 2009:
So in preparation for your next philosophy conference in Russia, be sure to sharpen your arguments — as well as your weapons.
Well what do you expect? They can’t send counterrevolutionary philosophers to the Gulag any more, so they have to do the job themselves.
I came here to see if you’d posted this one,….lol.

A tragedy of magnanimous proportions.
Ideologues love contention, the spirit of modern academia, in my view (does not apply to Prof Hicks and his “gang”). What is rarely publicized are the frequent fisticuffs in evolutionists’ conventions. There are almost one hundred separate theories of evolution, the most dominant being the Dawkins/Darwin view and then Stephen Jay Gould, R.I.P. In this spirit, we might learn from the Inuits, who advise, “Only the fattest survive.”
