Crapistemology

by Von Doba

/

about

A Von Doba Vowel Movement. Radical skepticism subverts itself of course; but one must ask. A distinctly irreverent, subversive and impious inquiry into the prospects of inquiry and knowledge in this period---i.e., on the poverty of philosophy and all that; especially epistemology---video at youtu.be/s9kYwVGS9jY

lyrics

You know I read ‘em
Parmenides—Aristotle and Plato
But in a different timeline
They might have been like the Green Hornet and Cato
Old Heidegger he bought the farm, Husserl and Hegel grew it
But there ain’t never been no one
who could truly say he knew it

There aint’ never been no one
Who could truly say he knew it

You say it’s your epistemology, I say it’s horseshit with honey and carrots
You tell me you got the knowledge
I’m tellin’ you It’s porridge—you ain’t even near it
Plausible denial—that’s my way of doin’ college
You come at me with that claptrap
I’m tellin’ ya it’s just not knowledge

I’m blurrin’ up all of your fine lines
I’m overturnin’ all of your praxis
You’re gonna pay a huge historical fine
You’re overdue on notional taxes
If Plant and Page and JP Jones themselves
Had written this tune they blew it
Even with a robot Bonzo on the drums
The timeline is off, you can’t true it

You know way out west was the home of the best
Thinkers philosophs and sages
All of them came out so horribly wrong
We oughtta scrub them off of our pages
When an agent takes an action
He can always say I do it
But there ain’t ever been no one
Who can truly say he knew it

Massive barrels of Merleau-Ponty
A Krakatoa of Immanuel Kant
An unrequested full monty
A piercing arrow in the seat of the pants
Old Heidegger he bought the farm
Michel Foucault grew it
But there ain’t never been no one
Who could truly say he knew it
