If you needed any more evidence that the general public, including Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper, doesn't know what "philosophy" means, check out
this profile of a self-described "cyberphilosopher" and his campaign to expose the dark side of the parent-child relationship:
The philosophy behind this is codified and has its own lingo. For example RTR (Real-Time Relationship) means you're willing to confront a spouse or parent if you feel they're hurting you. "If you don't want to be a slave, stop acting like a slave," he writes.
One might have hoped for at least one sentence in the article explaining that this has nothing to do with philosophy.
