This is Bill Arnett.

This is Philosophy versus Improv, where two sages try to teach each other a thing or two,

and maybe you, the audience, get something out of it as well.

This is Bill Arnett, a philosophy cadet, though an

improv Commodore. This is Mark Linson Meyer. I don't think that there really should be any

military ranks associated with the

improv but definitely a philosopher major general okay and we have two guests

team play Linda introduce yourself hi my name is Linda

I'm a supervisor.

Okay, that's what we're looking for.

That seemed perfectly unplanned and in the moment.

And...

I'm Andrew and I'm the very model of a modern major general of philosophy.

Okay. All right. It is good to look for the very model, the platonic ideal of the modern major general I don't want on off-brand

a typical one who only has three limbs I technically am a modern major general but I am not the very model of one.

Well before you ding three limited naval officers realize Lord Horatio Nelson was three.

Yeah, that was actually a very unfortunate choice of.

In philosophy, when they talk about the paradigm case of something,

that doesn't mean it's not a tiger it was an unfortunate context.

Linda do you want to insult the military before we get going and salt the people
