Immanuel Can, nice to see you around these parts.
I know I haven't been around much (there is a very good reason for that, trust me), so I'm going to be rusty now. What, exactly, is the question being posited in the thread?

Re: WHY DO YOU THINK WE ARE HERE? WHY DO WE EXIST?
If the WHY we are here is to decide the WHY for ourselves, then you are aware that this could infer that there is only ONE WHY, right? There is only ONE reason WHY we are here and ONE reason for WHY we do exist, which by the way is very EASY to uncover, once you learn and gain the know-how. Please ...

Re: WHY DO YOU THINK WE ARE HERE? WHY DO WE EXIST?
Maybe there is no "why". Maybe we exist simply because we exist. I don't suppose the universe is going to tell us anytime soon. Perhaps we exist to decide for ourselves WHY we exist. For some, it's to pass on their (low tier) genes. For others, to bring glory to a deity. For me, to improve...

Re: Why are we here on a philosophy forum?
I'm here because . . .
1) I don't like being bored.

3) Philosophy is fun!

Re: Hello.
I only come here to pick up chicks. That's disappointing, and counter-intuitive. The "free will" thing is one that gets people angry right away. Some folks are very dependent on Determinism to make it possible for them to get by. As Sartre said, there's a sense in which "freedom"...

Re: Hello.
It might be. The ad homimen's are certainly a problem, not because they achieve anything, of course, but because logically speaking they don't. All they do is clog the discussion with irrelevant revilement. Inexplicably, some people actually defend this practice, as when above you read, "What ...

Re: Hello.
That's too bad. I suppose my time here will be shorter than I had imagined.

Hello.
Hi. I've been interested in philosophy for years. Finally decided to join a forum. I've been browsing and something worries me. It seems that most of the 'philosophy' going on here is mainly egoism and subjective dogma. In a couple of active threads I'm seeing ad hominems out of every corner and cre...
