Would it be rash of me to suggest that we are currently living in the Age of Rashionalism? A time when arguments and detractions are made in such haste because we lack tolerance for anyone being wrong on the internet. Also we no longer have the attention span required to think anything through.
It's a worry, but I can either laugh or cry.

What if the Frege–Geach problem isn’t a problem at all?
Analytic philosophy built a logical puzzle by assuming moral language works like empirical language. My Language Insufficiency Hypothesis says that’s a category error. Moral predicates live in different conceptual terrain entirely.
