more on clothing

An old post at Philosopher’s Playground explains why philosophers, at least those of the analytic persuasion, can’t dress themselves. In short, it’s because there ‘is no algorithm by which one can in a finite amount of time, much less in the morning before you are too late for class, decide with deductive certainty whether an outfit is sharp and properly accessorized’. But the fun is in the proof, so read the original post. As a bonus, it will also tell you what the real difference is between analytic and continental philosophers (people in my field spend way too much time thinking about this question).
