actually, lets try this out. i assume in good faith that all of this stuff makes sense if you understand it. however, this paper contains the sentence "God is a lobster", which is inaccessible to me, because i dont have the prerequisite background. however, when i try to read the prerequisite background, i bump into sentences similarly difficult to parse as "God is a lobster". this implies to me that philosophy texts are not very hbotz-friendly, and are written mostly for people already with a background in philosophy, which is understandable.
what is the best path to understanding philosophy? my metric is to be able to understand why God is a lobster.
