We mathematicians always had a friendly rivalry with the guys taking philosophy. The way we looked at it, we solved problems, while they created problems. The way they saw it, their problems were too "profound" to be solved.

Of course, the fact that they took like half as many classes as we did, and seemed to get away with twice as much BS as we could, may have coloured our opinions of them somewhat…
