And we then made a episode that picks that up and it was, so it wasn't in bad blood at all, it was just a little bit wrong. You can estimate that the way you want, but I always think about it, also in the background of the question you asked me. And I think, no, I think that's actually the coolest philosophy. To really be in exchange for life. And nothing else did Socrates and all the others do.

And I actually think that this academic superstition falsifies what is actually the cool core of philosophy for me personally. Namely, the nonsense. You can call it that. That's what life prepares you for. That means you're throwing your studies away again? No, I think about it very often. And turn this frustration into intensive research.

Or what language he can speak. Yes, so I'm currently very busy with Richard Rorty. And you don't have to know him now. Yes, sounds like a lion. No, but that's very interesting what he's talking about. Basically, the book I like to talk about, but I'll try to do it very briefly, man, is called Contingency as Language and Solidarity. No, Irony, Contingency, Solidarity. Wow. Unity.

Justice and freedom, exactly. No, he's a cool guy and the cool thing about it is that he went through the whole analytical philosophy and is a very renowned professor. So he understood all the things that everyone can celebrate, Kant, Hegel and so on. Quine. And then at the end he said, guys, that doesn't work for an utopian design of a society. Let's do something else and look at the language.

Very, very roughly. So much more he looks at what language can do or how language and truth are connected. And what does that say about us as humans and about a society that we want to develop? I don't feel anything good about it. And my favorite word out of it and also in general is the contingency. Roughly speaking, you could say it could have been different.

For example, I could have been born somewhere else, I could have had other parents, but I could have gotten a 3 instead of a 2 in the 5th grade. And also the history and so on. And that there are a lot of consequences.

Yes, of course. And for that there is a dispute in Deutschlandfunk. But it's a lot more fun to talk about everyday nonsense.
