To the editor, please consider My paper for review The manuscript has been prepared So my identity can’t be deduced Your website says the turnaround time’s four months But you’ll be four months overdue And I’ll be feeling so blue. And then my paper will be rejected once again The first round was so maddening The comments were almost laughable But that was better than the second round In which I received no comments at all I waited for eight months But no explanation was given Not a single word of Constructive criticism And then my paper was rejected once again Help me through the night, Tell me when will this process ever come to an end? I think my paper’s got it right But should I throw it into the garbage bin? Revise and submit to another journal This process sure feels like it is eternal But I will resend And then My paper will be rejected once again | ||

You could say I’m quite experienced; Yeah I’ve perceived a thing or two. But tonight I wanna get conceptual. I wanna start by analyzing you. You know I love when you surprise me — Those crazy claims you sometimes make. But there’s nothing synthetic about you. Kant think who’d make that mistake. It’s only Humean to feel sceptical: No-one’s entitled to be Wright. But I’d give up Millians just to be with you. Let’s trust our intuitions tonight. No need to play the Field no more, babe: I see you’re a factual enterprise. Can’t hold you come what may, but that’s OK. Tonight there’s nothing to revise. But what I feel don’t really matter; You got me thinking really good. I should believe in you tonight babe, And that’s an epistemic ‘should’. It’s only Humean to feel sceptical: No-one’s entitled to be Wright. But I’d give up Millians just to be with you. Let’s trust our intuitions tonight. Don’t need no late-night lab work. Don’t need no Bunsen burner. Don’t need no fucking survey. Don’t need no off-line reasoning. Don’t need no Canberra two-step. Just need my basic concepts. Just need a little grounding. Just need the a priori. Just need the a priori. Just need the a priori. Just need the a priori. | ||

We wanted to make One out of two But we didn’t know What we needed to do What’s the correct Description of the act? Would it suffice To make perfect contact? So tell me, when does composition occur? What would happen were we to kiss? What if I were to touch you like this? What if you held me and wouldn’t let go? Would an intuition still tell us no? So tell me, when does composition occur? I was tempted by a serpent Coiled into a net He told me composition Hadn’t happened yet And all our work would be in vain Of no ontological worth For all we’d do is rearrange The furniture of the earth So tell me, when does composition occur? It can’t be automatic We are mereologically variable But is a life together The answer that we’ve been searching for? | ||

There’s something wrong with this argument, but I don’t know what it is. The denial of the conclusion is more plausible than the conjunction of the premises. There must be something here to reject; something’s gotta give. I’m gonna do the G.E. Moore shift. I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift. Come on the G.E. Moore shift. I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift. I can’t believe you think that that’s true. How can you accept the consequence of that view? I can’t believe you think that that’s true. How can you accept the consequence of that view? There’s nothing great about validity; it depends on where you start. Don’t even try to modus ponens me; I’m gonna tollens you so hard. It’s obvious something here ain’t right; use a little common sense And do the G.E. Moore shift. I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift. Come on the G.E. Moore shift. I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift. I can’t believe you think that that’s true. How can you accept the consequence of that view? I can’t believe you think that that’s true. How can you accept the consequence of that view? It’s obvious something here ain’t right; something’s gotta go. We’ve gotta do the G.E. Moore shift. I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift. Come on the G.E. Moore shift. I wanna do the G.E. Moore shift. | ||

All I want to do is instantiate some properties Maybe stand in some relations All I want to do is instantiate some properties Maybe stand in some relations My friends say don’t be so promiscuous There are many kinds of properties There are those that make for objective resemblance And those that are as gerrymandered as you please That some draw this distinction, I am aware And maybe it’s conventional or really out there But whatever it is, I really don’t care ’cause all I want to do is instantiate some properties Maybe stand in some relations All I want to do is instantiate some properties Maybe stand in some relations I don’t care if they’re monadic Two-place, three-place, variably polyadic I don’t even care if they’re tropes or universals Don’t even care if they’re sets of individuals There’s gotta be something to exemplify Conjoin with in a fact sometime before I die To be with the way I am, and there’s no reason why ’cause all I want to do is instantiate some properties Maybe stand in some relations All I want to do is instantiate some properties Maybe stand in some relations | ||

He’ll play upon Your naturalistic intuitions He’ll lure you in With the promise of positions that you love Like realism about numbers and sets And the view that philosophy’s continuous with science. And then you’re caught in the web No support from the a priori All aboard Neurath’s ship It will all be fine But you’re tied to the mast It’s all a posteriori Here on in; have a blast With Willard Van Orman Quine. He looks so good Next to Carnap, Ayer and Chisholm And there’s nothing wrong With confirmational holism; It’s quite nice as an account of how theories face the tribunal of experience. Mmm yeah. But step away when he starts Talking about the analytic. Meaning’s not that strange in being tricky to define. And it comes in small bits; Not all holism’s terrific. Keep your head; keep your wits Round Willard Van Orman Quine. | ||
