To treat philosophers a group as an individual capable of wanting a single thing across all is an over generalization in fact treating an individual as an individual itself is a over generalization since we consistently hold conflicting desires but before we get into that we must first ask what a "desire" itself is but that comes with the problem of what the "self" is in itself but we can't explain that until we dive into what we are talking about when we say In but that would be semantics which I will now define in the following 500 book thesis on redefining the English language so it supports my esoteric politically biased view point because my grade school bully called me stupid when I was five.

My esteemed colleague's first 300 books are riveting, but at that point the argument falls apart. They fail to account for the Herman reversal: "I know you are, but what am I" (Herman et al,1985). Amusing, but hardly a work of serious scholarship.
