Muddle's knowledge of philosophy
There are other types of knowledge in the world that are more useful in many cases than parsing words to promote thought.
I just noticed that a cat has been cloned that glows in the dark. This was done by putting a gene that causes glowing into the skin portion of the DNA. No particular use for that yet, but it surely indicates that we can invent specific types of clones, not only in cats but in Muddles!
I suppose muddle is an artist and the cat people are scientists? However both are useful and neither is superior.
To go to the other extreme in professions and leadership (leadership types are usually our Presidents), consider the facts that 110,000 AK-47s and 60.000 pistols disappeared which were sent to General Petraeus (who was at that time in charge of training the Iraqi soldiers) for use by the Iraqis.
A report has been submitted to congress indicating that likely the civilian contractors and our own soldiers sold these weapons to the Iraqi black market!
A lack of soldiers to guard and account for them was the probable cause!
Along with the skids of cash stolen during Bremer's realm, these guys ought to be getting pretty rich.
Philosophy played a much bigger part in all this than did engineering, medicine, law, architecture, or leadership!
Justification by blabber, and taking advantage of idiots is often useful.
