Idea for the new Bond: he should be a tastefully overweight Akan-Celt philosophy professor working on formal Africana social epistemology. His enemies should be Kantians. His catch phrase is "bazinga". I realise some people (racists) wouldn't like this, but, you know, just a thought.

Zhuangzi dreamed he was butterfly. Descartes wondered if he was dreaming. Given sheer number of alternative explanations of beliefs odds our beliefs are true small.
