> found the key
When things are locked up for unkown reasons, it is best to leave it like that.
>>
>>24734910
So if I locked you in a cell for unknown reasons and left the key inside, you’d still sit there like an obedient tard. Good to know.

impossible
>>
>>24734929
It’s impossible for someone to kidnap you and lock you up without you knowing why? You can say improbable, but that has happened to plenty of people.

Oh jolly! Love when Science tells me what is right!

studies have debunked common sense

You just described humanity, we're all trapped there, few are using the key to escape and we vilify them for it.
>>
>>24737039
I'd kill you just for uttering that.
This is my way to escape. Don't vilify me.

Most philosophers don't even pretend to answer questions like that. The no. 1 pseud misconception is that philosophy concerns life problems like how to be happy or the "meaning" of life, as if someone can tell you a proposition or two and you'll understand it all. Whatever the guy in the OP is talking about falls under life-wisdom, phronesis, the sort of thing people learn by experience and is not actually discursive or conceptual, even if you can sum it up in some corny phrases.

>>24734903

>exercise
It blows my mind that this is the sort of shit people think they're going to get from reading Aristotle or Kant. Then it's, "what is this? Just a bunch of words! What does this have to do, like, with my lifeeeee man?" Your life isn't interesting, no one's is.
>>
>>24734919
You're going to need a gun to do that :^)

>>24737932
>It blows my mind that this is the sort of shit people think they're going to get from reading Aristotle
like Nicomachean Ethics?
>>
Oh my SCIENCE! Philosophy is done for. Bazinga!
>>
>Philosophy is prior to Science
>Science can't give us ethics
>Scientific method is non-testable
Lol, when did scientism become the norm?
>>
>>24737969
Right, the meat of NE, the catalogue of virtues, is banal, and what would you expect? NE is not a guide to being a good person, he explains what he is doing quite clearly but it went over your head apparently. It makes me depressed that philosophy is so interesting and a high IQ activity but it seems to mostly attract subliterate retards and stoners.

If you kidnap me and lock me up, the reason will become clear pretty quicky. It'll likely be ransom or rape, reasons that aren't particularly complex
