True analytic philosophy has never been tried

It's actually very easy to turn an analytic philosopher into a continental one. Just use Photoshop. #philosophysky #philsky

I never subscribed to the idea that those born pre modern era might have had no sense of selfhood. Then historians show us their teeth and having had some dental pain I am convinced that before access to analgesics it probably was possible to experience life without a sense of individual identity.
