Quote of the Day

“Every philosopher runs away when he or she hears someone say, “Let’s discuss this.” Discussions are fine for roundtable talks, but philosophy throws its numbered dice on another table. The best one can say about discussions is that they take things no farther, since the participants never talk about the same thing.”


--- Gilles Deleuze, What Is Philosophy?

Sounds like any other construction job.

How about Q&A form, or something like Plato's Symposium?

[timelets]

Wrt Plato, he argues that Dialogues are pitiless concept construction monologues that "destroy rivals one by one." They are not designed as equal arguments from different sides.

Q&A is a form of communication, "and when it comes to creating, conversation is always superfluous."
