Laidback but not stupid philosophy threads And deserves to be taken seriously, provided it is logical. — Outlander
Right there we have a problem. Logic comes in different forms and the colloquial use of terms does not map readily onto the technical philosophical jargon.
Someone who speaks to me in Dutch may or may not be saying something stupid. I have no idea. If I am in England and they do this they should not look upon me with indigation when wave them away after several attempts to engage with hand signals and other attempts to form a bridge of communication.
When discussing ethics, epistemology, physics, psychology, politics, eceonomics, art, etc., etc.; there needs to be some effort made by those entering from the outside to grapple with these difficulties if they wish to engage in a serious discussion.
The biggest problem is how the Dunning-Kruger effect plays out. All too often a smattering of an understanding leads the naive into thinking they have a pretty good overall grasp of this or that area, when in fact they only know a few of the most very basic parts of a hugely complex and daunting machine that countless others have been tinkering with over the centuries.
All that said, I do believe most areas of knowledge suffer from a blinkerness brought on by the state of general education. Specialists are VERY important but less thought is given to those who have a solid understanding across multiple fields. Every field of interest can gain from outside input. Who knows how a kite designer can inspire a chef, or a physicist inspire an accountant?
