Schievella http://malkinwatch.blogsome.com/2006/06/05/the-non-claim-claim/#comment-1275 Sat, 22 Sep 2007 01:47:39 +0100 http://malkinwatch.blogsome.com/2006/06/05/the-non-claim-claim/#comment-1275 A couple of times I came across Ryan's, comment regarding our very short reference to von Daniken's hypothesis on ancient astronauts. I have no idea who he is though at the time, seemingly unaware of the significance of his admission, he was a self-admitted philosophical neophyte. He referred to philosophy as BS. He claimed without support that I was wrong. I can't put a face on him. But one thing I did detect about that then blowhard was his ignorance of his ignorance. Fresh, I assume, out of high school, he had all the sophomoric earmarks of a know it all, ready to go into the lion's den of philosophy and pit his very meager knowledge with a professor of philosophy three times his age with the training, education, and experience to go with attendance at universities of note for seven years. If he really has matured at all, since then, he might deign to view my website, http://mysite.verizon.net/vzepglv8/index.htm, if he hasn't done so yet. Perhaps he'll discover what he might have learned then if he had put his mind, instead of his mouth, into gear, and what he did not understand about language at that time, not alone philosophical issues which I suspect he may have found too difficult to pursue. Hopefully, he has matured and has earned the badge of being called a philosopher.

I guess she was so used to "putting things out there" without being challenged on FOX, she forgot she was on a real news network where people are required to back up what they say.

I forgot you were the unofficial editor of the internet. Heh, I notice you fixed my typos, including “Von Daniken” changing it to the proper form “von Däniken” complete with umlauts.

I've fixed it. BTW, have you seen anything by Daniel Pinchbeck before, particularly <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1585424838/qid=1149517441/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-9504129-0693456?s=books&amp;v=glance&amp;n=283155" rel="nofollow">his latest</a>? The writing is really top-notch and enjoyable (as fiction), but there's something about being derided for not believing in extraterrestial explanations for crop circles. Thanks. I’ve fixed it.

The book he was published in was actually "Philosophy of Science and the Occult" edited by Patrick Grim. The essay he wrote was "Science, Proof and the Ancient Atronaut Hypothesis".
