The Illusion of Accomplishment



Reductionism comes up with some absurd conclusions sometimes, doesn't it? For instance, writing an essay is just hitting a few keys on the key board for a few hours and selecting words on the screen and moving them around a bit.

I can shuffle words around. I can hit a few keys.

Give me a few hours and I can write an essay. A few more hours, and I can write the next edition of the Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy.

  • hey shiloh, I tried to scan those drawings from the conference but they are too faint and you can't read the writing. Pity. If you want to spend time cleaning them up, I can send you the files. Personally, I can't be bothered!

  • You can write my essays! ;) I got three to do, though your essay writing technique doesn't sound like something that will please my teacher's.
