(snip part about filters)

 Any good generators written in Python? I'd like to roll me one of
 these as well; e.g. execute the program and it will create a few
 paragraphs of text in the jargon of a discipline, subdiscipline,
 subculture, etc. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

There's a Kant generator example in Dive Into Python:

Thanks Bruno! Perhaps I could modify it to throw in some Hume and
Wittgenstein, mix it all up in a syntactic / semantic blender and
REALLY confuse people.  Word Games indeed. :-)

Or throw in stuff by whichever philosopher who wrote a book called The
Meaning of Meaning, to add some metaphoric recursion. And that what be
one heck of a Frankenstenian (but only 1 part Wittgensteinian)
Robo-philosopher.

Don't forget the famous American philosopher who contemplated the
meaning of is.

Unfortunately, until he gives us a definition, we'll never really know 
who he is...  :)
