Discourse on Intercourse is a well-intended basically wrong-headed philosophical tract formulated by delusional Austrian librettist Otto Büchstein in 1769. Outraged by René Descartes suggestion that the only indubitable thing in the universe was one's own existence as a thinking thing, Büchstein attempted to deduce an entire multipersonal epistemology from the commercial inevitability of business meetings. His logic was this: meetings must exist, since no-one in her right mind world make the idea upbif she didn't need to. So, since business meetings are a necessary fact of life, and it is an a priori fact that a meeting must contain more than one person, there must be multiple individuals. At least three, thought Büchstein the meetor and the metee, and since transparently neither of these would willingly meet without some kind of compulsion, a third person (usually a management consultant or project manager) to force the meeting to happen and assign actions and timelines at its conclusion.
