Philosophy...

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I've just started a Philosophy course at Glasgow uni and to be honest it sounds like a load of pish.

"Is the chair really there?" "Are you actually a slug's dream?"

WHAT THE FUCK?

EVERYTHING IS BASED ON PHILOSOPHY. REMEMBER THAT OR THE THOUGHT POLICE WILL GET YOU.

Why?

Because they're nasty buggers and they like getting you.

Because they are obsessed with mental wanking. They want EVERYTHING to be under the umbrella of philosophy so they can be the lords of creation, as far as I can tell.

Where art thou premises?

Oh, so you want me to debate on the terms of philosophy? Isn't that like debating a theist and conceding up front that God exists?

I agree with Coito ergo sum that "we do not have to use fancy language" to engage in fauxlosophical thought or discussions. If anything, those people who try to impress others with being oh-so-heavy, more fauxlosophical than thou, are usually just trying to impress the impressionable with their bullshit heavioscity. Complex idea and great truths can be espressed in simple terms (i.e. "I think, therefore I am").

[Trolldor]

Philosophers like to take credit for the 'how' question, when all they ever ask is 'why' - or even worse, 'why not'?

The question is not 'how did we come to be?'

It is 'why did we come to be' or 'why not consider we're the subconscious projection of tree rot'

And so we can flush the majority of fauxlosophers right down the toilet. Their convoluted "thinking about thinking", unfortunately, has achieved cult status. And people are afraid to challenge the cult because of the vicious attacks launched by the True Believers whenever anyone dares to do so.

That sounds like philosophy talk to me.

Evidently, so does "I need a poo."

"The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it."
