It almost sounds like anybody can use the term to mean pretty much anything.
I'm with you here. The only philosophy course that made any sense to me was the one sung by cleese, chapman, idle, palin and friends.

Pythonism relies squarely on, and is a natural progression from, some of the philosophy it seeks to undermine.
