It had to happen that Mike would agree with Popper on something. His view was
that all of us our philosophers because, at the least, we all adopt an
attitide to life and to death. Also we carry around a great number of
metaphysical beliefs, often uncritically held, that often have the greatest
importance for our lives (and deaths). The only excuse for philosophy is the
critical examination of such beliefs.
