What’s Your Philosophy of Life?

McRocket said:
Wait?
You are claiming to be a teacher?

Yet, more than any other member I can think of?
Refuse to debate anyone, rationally.
And simply throw simplistic, ad hominem's at those who disagree with you to ANY, substantive degree?

Shit...you must be one, HORRIBLE teacher.


EDIT...I just saw that you were just quoting.
Thank GOODNESS for your potential students.

BTW - haven't you ever heard of quotation marks?

You know, that has not been my experience with Biden. He actually does debate rationally. We use facts, though that might be your problem. You believe everything Tucker tells you.

Philosophy?
The science of wasting the most time possible on things that do nothing substantive for humanity.

Show me a philosophy major?
And I will show you a condescending prick with few social skills, even fewer friends and barely a clue what the world is actually like.

Natural philosophy is just another name for science. The best physicists, mathmaticians, cosmologists are philosophical thinkers, including Einstein, Niels Bohr, Edwin Shroedinger.

Any time you think, talk, or write about morality, ethics, truth, knowledge, belief, wisdom, virtue, free will, determinism you are doing philosophy.

There is a myth that Socrates went to the town square and debated anyone who came along. Plato's dialogues are always with someone well known in Athens, whether in politics or philosophy. Socrates never debates dumb people.

And there are so many of them here. Socrates would have been pretty bored in this forum.

You and Zenmode should hook up. :thup:

So you were a philosophy major in college? What do you do now?

TBH, I changed majors a few times. The second to last was, indeed, philosophy.

Some find no use for such activity

I think they genuinely believe writing insults is having a conversation.
