These days, just about anything you do will be pointless. You are the frog in the pot thinking of so many potential tomorrows. I answered all of my philosophy questions long ago, currently seeking a practical tie between theory and current situation.

I might be more tempted to call it "last desperate hope" rather than "comfort".

A fear/hope of the known drives most of my endeavors.

But don't confuse philosophy with much of what goes on in philosophy forums.

Sure over time there has indeed been fragments of lasting scribbles, but scarce and not well used in todays terms.

A good example of counter productive philosophy is when idiots debates if a tree makes a sound if no ones is there, that is totally disregarding basic physics.

Revealing these truths may have me banned from this forum.

Blind men really shouldn't rant about the thoughts of colors.

Philosophizing is the process of abstract reasoning.
When reasoning is considered pointless, philosophy will be considered pointless.
