Denver Philosophy

Went to my first meeting of the Denver Philosophical Meetup group last week. More interesting than the discussion was the cast of stereotypical philosophy types that I was hoping to avoid. Miss AnythingGoes, who when I ventured that the topic "What is fundamentalism?" was not one for philosophy, retorted "everything is philosophical". Mr ItsAllJustLanguage who sees talk as merely conceptual - God is just a concept... tables are concepts... yea, until someone breaks one over your head (which is what I felt like doing!). Mr ISoundProfoundWithMyRussianAccent, so I'll say something stupid (like metaphysics starts with error) and watch people buy it because eet sounds conveencink from my mouth. Oh, and Ms IHaveToRelateEverythingToBuddhism, which I apparently don't understand!

And to think I passed up the Rush concert to go. Darn, but I was expecting so much more. I'll give it one more chance next month... maybe I was being a bit of a Mr HeadInTheCloudsAboveItAll.
