Luke remarked:
I expect that this is meant as a metaphorical remark about the low value of some philosophy, rather than literally as a call for banning anyone from doing philosophy. However, this sort of comment squicks me, especially in this context.
I guess I should have made the joke more explicit. Note that I do not have primary training in cognitive science, computer science, or mathematics, and yet here I am, doing philosophy. :)
I didn't get the joke either.
Oh, I read it as an attempt to flatter Pei by taking a cheap shot at Philosophers.
I actually read it and thought, "yeah, that sounds about right." Though re-reading it it's obviously at least hyperbole, though I wouldn't say it's obviously a joke.
