"I think there are many things that can profitably be discussed in these meetings, but I draw the line at epistemology."

that was, of course, read as "episiotomy"

[jwgh]

Maybe I'll try to bring episiotomy up in the next meeting.

Maybe you should threaten it.

[jwgh]

Dude, I can't threaten to give my boss an episiotomy. It would cause talk.

What crazy talk is this! How can there even begin to be a meeting if there's no frank discussion epistemology!

First of all, how do we know that there is a meeting? How do we know that we know that there is a meeting?

[kattullus.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Such basic questions are left unanswered if epistemology is banned from the meeting room.

I draw the line at episiotomy.

How can we care? What does it mean for a meeting to be mandatory? These are all reasonable topics of discussion, but they must generally be resolved before a meeting can take place -- or at least before a meeting can be agreed to have taken place.
