Re: Do you consider yourself a philosopher?
Quite the contrary my friend, I'v proven my security, when one goest up against a big boss of a big newspaper, the entire chief of staff, lawyers and what not. I don't even have a formal education, yet with reason and logic can defeat them.Invictus_88 wrote:I consider you to be an intellectually insecure ****.HexHammer wrote:I consider myself a superior philosopher, as I use logic and reason, with a great knowledge and differ immensly from the common philosopher with a bit of neurology, psychology and physics.
It comes down to understanding the basic principles that most others are blatantly unaware of.
But hey, there's clearly no reasoning to that comment, just "neurology, psychology and physics"...so what does it matter?
However, it seems that you can only preform parrotspeeches, as you don't even know when to apply "insecurity" to a behaviour.

Re: Do you consider yourself a philosopher?
The is great Grendel, but I must point out that even Socrates had a real job working as a stone mason or something like that. I think I'll do the same thing next census we have here in the states.Grendel wrote:On the UK census last year I wrote Philosopher as my occupation, and as job description said I wandered the streets, pubs, friends houses and the internet engaging people in philosophical conversations. Which pretty much sums up what philosophy was and Socrates did before Plato and Aristotle buggered it up and turned into and anal academic thing. Bring philosophy back to the streets I say. So the census will show at least one philosopher living in Britain.

Re: Do you consider yourself a philosopher?
Which is kind of an argument philosophy is the preserve of brickies and labourers, not academics. Then of course there's Diogenes....... Perhaps the carboard boxes under Waterloo bridge are the place to find real philosophers. 24 Hour Party People had a homeless philosopher, so did Naked,dparrott wrote:Socrates had a real job working as a stone mason or something
