Had to share my brother's response with everyone....he's a worm-dunker, and proud of the fact that he took more on the river that day with his jig than I did with my flies. He's also working on his PhD in Philosophy....

Well, I just imagine the art of fishing began with such a philosophy - you have to fish in order to eat. Somewhere along the line with the industrial revolution and mass commercialization of society, such activities became unnecessary and therefore, you could for the first time move from a philosophy of results. So yes, mine might be a philosophy of results, but yours is a philosophy that can only exist while piggy backing on the mound of capitalism. Taken in that light, I'm not sure yours is of any more value than mine.
