Re: dude cheer up

Hmmm i would forstly like to say: before you start quoting some one in another language (Latin) you should really know the language first as i do. its actually "cogito ergo sum". Secondly you shouldnt call someone a fool unless you teach philosophy for a living, namely working for Purple Horse Industries.
Philosophy isnt some thing u can just say this is what it might be/might not be, theres no point of trying to get an answer unless you get the right answer, otherwise your just a scientist, and you dont want to be that, unless your andrew, my boss, and my subordonate.
Please if you wish to get further instruction i am not happy but willing to teach some fools on the proper manner of taking on philosophy head on.
plz email me at the above adress.
i will give you proper techniques on buisness management, insanity, and mars invasion

Replying to:

Interesting you have undertaken an excercise in futility now have you. well let us say that you are right and nothing can be proven then does it matter what i do right now or even if there is a now or a cause or pupose to my actions. so does this sound horribly dry and depressing. ........honestly no!
this is just the way to think. so any time any thought or idea pops into your head do not judge it just let it be. if there is no me or you then thougts are your only form of life therefore no worries carpe diem right?
i like descartes honestly i do but i believe this makes more sense in apsychological manner cogo ergo sum. i think therefore i am....i have habitual thoughts which represent themselves in behavior, so these behaviors become part of me so every habitual thought builds on to this once simple idea to make who i am today. which would explain why i do so many strange and sometime inexplicable things.

a little of your question but this is the conclusion on the subject that i personally came to. but thats the point right to ask questions to grow personally

Re: Re: dude cheer up

ok pre grad listen up im only going to say this once CHILL OUT it doesnt matter what either of us think this guy has an honest question. as a philosopher you should realize that sometimes we have to put our own opinions aside and honestly listen to one argument i.e. gestalt. any true philosopher is able to play devils advocate. remember that we as philosophers are held to a different set of values as "society" and one of them is all are welcome and the question is the only truth. im sure you are used to the neo-philosophers whiny struggle with fitting in i.e. high school sociology. but you do not need to worry so much about prestige or looking more intelligent than anyone else here. these are simple games of the masses, we as philosophers have no ego to hinder and care not for the trappings of power. so chill out

p.s. numbers are not real angles are not real proofs and physics not real. if so prove them show me a number that is not man made a proof beyond the making of man we are man therefore fallible

i love you more
