Sticking with Pete’s microaggressions what does a quality philosophical musing look like?

Who knows Dave, I have my theories though. The most likely being ukb has been taken over by the climbing equivalent of the ‘Trump Regime’ and it’s denizens have been replaced by a small number of self serious bots. Maybe Stu and Barrows are behind it, they’ve got phds or sumthiN.

A lot of climbers have PhDs... sometimes when you have to think hard for long periods the cerebral scrub that climbing can provide is very helpful, so much so that it can become addictive; so please don't be microaggresive about us. Academics are also often really good at unintentional blanking.... some I know may as well be comatose they are so unresponsive to anything outside their thought bubble.

PS.
I’m an Engineer, so I believe this applies to Physicists too...

Matt, I'm confused. That's Stu Littlefair on the left though, isn't it?
