Philosophaster

Or bullshiters.

lesswrong.com has many I believe, you know the guy which throw a lot of jargon from wide range of domain and having his argument ending up in a nonsense mess.

When I started reading Edgar Morin I had this feeling too, but there is some things that makes sense in what he says though.

I want to avoid at all costs becoming a philosophaster anyway. I guess one must use proper logic and empirical evidence in its arguments. Sticking to simpleness, Occam razor, not complexity.

Feynman could explain stuff in simple words, just like Bertrand Russell or Ridley.

Taleb almost fall into the philosophaster trap, but after a few Shower thoughts, and reading his books 5 times or more, you end up understanding ;).
