For a large part of my life, I had people telling me that philosophy is useless, and in a sense I think it is, since it does not produce material goods like work does, nor does it generate material wealth. However, I believe it is fundamentally important to cultivate philosophy as much as possible, because it is what truly makes you free. This includes studying the philosophy of your own ancestors as well as that of other cultures. I also believe that the most important thing is to develop a critical mindset, in order to analyze and understand it as deeply as possible. What do you think?
>>
You believe the great dumbo.

No credit will be given to you.

Philosophy isn't waste, it's productive thought.

Shouldn't get hung on the category.

lol. Who told you that?

I've developed such a critical mindset that I concluded philosophistry is indeed useless.

>um ack-shilly it's very important to argue over why color perception is a culturally-shaped phenomenon when physicists say it's all just a process of photons hitting proteins

What an anti-life statement...

Light just whacking into my eye, no consciousness. The fact that this is said, and further, that's it's socially accepted, proves my point that Earth-humanity is lowly.

Which part of philosophy is useless again?

We let evil come close- we accepted evil. Evil has become dominant through spread and severity.

I actively hunt evil through a mind-relative called Lightframe.
>>
>>17019924
Not for anyone but myself. I lost faith in humans, there's likely no true good bar me. Hence why everything I say is a controversy. I prove all humans are dumb in the wake of what I say. Let's put it this way, if I can achieve evil paying in blood, exactly their blood debt, I will. It could be today.
>>
You're not allowed to insult on the surface.

But you're allowed to, if it's like a coward. As long as it's a winge, and you say 'i don't understand', you can dismiss anything. And if you do that in anyway that's good, there's always moderator discretion.

Haha. Thank fuck Lightframe exists.
>>
You're dead if I'm operating.

For agreeing with this, and any evil you do, you'll at least do 40 years in condition worse than the worst parts of South Africa.
>>
This is law and order. It's only not pretty to the guilty. You, likely, commit to something much worse.
>>
>>17019933
Think of Lion digging it's teeth into it's prey.

There's a very evil, six billion-people strong, monstrosity, an abomination like no, and I'm the protagonist with a valid weapon, capable of defeating it.

Anyone who uses sex as a way to get people to engage with their posts is either a third worlder or a retard, and nothing they say or do has any value.

Philosophy is useful to practice being full of yourself, fearlessly act like a retard in front of people and still doubledown until others doubt themselves. This is the most useful skill in politics.

If you don't plan on becoming a politician, or a charlatan, it will be useless.

>>17019904
That's not a question for philosophers or phycisists. It belongs to biologists.

if you're in STEM at a decent university you're going to be encountering logic. take a symbolic/propositional logic course at your local philosophy department. it's not a waste at all. don't listen to retarded anons who don't know what they're talking about itt
>>
sheeeit looking at these replies y'all are actually retarded, but so is the kind of race-based "philosophy" you're mocking. 3 credit hours on the philosophy of being [not-white] is a joke played on 18 year olds by loan sharks.

>>17019761
We reached the asymptote of what is knowable philosophically and applicable to the human experience roughly 250 years ago.
Everything since then has just been masturbation.

So when are you going to give up everything and become Amish? The fields are waiting my friend.

Brain-Power can conduct compact or full science, without the use of a tool. Philosophy is brain-work, it increases the proficiency of brain-power.
>>
>>17020638
Alternatively, your brain is overriden by a tool. You're officially a drone.
