If you are going to keep claiming that I am doing philosophy - take up the burden of proof and convince me.
Does this mean you are going to stop thinking?

When you say 'things' like, 'drives me crazy', are 'you' BLAMING some OTHER 'thing' for the way that 'you', currently, are, or are feeling?
Here we have the PERFECT example of WHY these people, back then, took SO LONG to come to a much BETTER understanding of "themselves".Gary Childress wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 10:15 pm It doesn't seem very fair toward one's interlocutors to me, rather underhanded in some way (or perhaps 'passive/aggressive' would be the right term).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This one even STATES, out aloud, 'Maybe you have your reasons.' And then even ASKS "its" OWN 'self", 'What do I know?'
BUT NEVER ONCE thought to just ASK "the other" absolutely ANY CLARIFYING QUESTION AT ALL here.
This is WHY True and FULL understanding of "each other" and ultimately "themselves" took SO LONG for the human being, back in the days when this was being written.

But the premise, which 'you' CLAIM here about 'you refusing to practice philosophy' is NOT difficult to understand AT ALL. Obviously 'you' can CLAIM absolutely ANY 'thing' in written words, but which are ACTUALLY NOT True AT ALL', is ANOTHER premise, which is NOT AT ALL difficult to understand, EITHER.
Just like the Fact that 'you REFUSE to define words here for us to LOOK AT and SEE' is ANOTHER premise, which is NOT difficult AT ALL to understand AS WELL.
So, when 'you' CLAIM that 'you' REJECT 'philosophy' and REFUSE to practice 'philosophy' absolutely NO one KNOWS what 'you' are actually referring to, EXACTLY, because 'you', literally, do NOT even KNOW what 'it' IS that 'you' are talking ABOUT and CLAIMING here.
Furthermore, when 'you' make 'that CLAIM, all we can REALLY gon and go off is our OWN personal INTERPRETATION OF, and personal DEFINITION FOR, the 'philosophy' word. Which, from my perspective, 'you', "skepdick", CERTAINLY DO NOT practice 'philosophy' AT ALL.
SO, take this as a GREAT LESSON in regards to words MEAN DIFFERENT 'things' to DIFFERENT, and/or ALL, people. which ultimately MEANS that 'you' REJECTING and REFUSING to 'practice philosophy', to me, IS VERY OBVIOUS as well as SHOWING just how VERY STUPID one can REALLY BE here
LOL
'you' made the original CLAIM here, which 'you' could NEVER back up, support, NOR prove true BECAUSE 'you' would, FIRST, HAVE TO define the 'philosophy'word, and by your OWN admission 'you' are NOT even CAPABLE of doing just 'this'.
By the way, I COMPLETELY and UTTERLY TOTALLY AGREE WITH 'you' that 'you' REJECT and REFUSE TO have ANY 'love-of-wisdom', and of BECOMING ANY MORE WISER here.
Re: Philosophy undermines truth
Could BELIEVING that one is ALWAYS 'the teacher' and does NOT need to be 'a student', in order 'to learn' MORE, be a good sign of STUPIDITY as well?Skepdick wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 12:49 pmTo believe yourself the teaacher when you are the student is the epitome of stupidity.Flannel Jesus wrote: ↑Thu May 25, 2023 12:38 pmYou're welcome. I've got the guy blocked but I still hope he can learn why that's a fallacy and internalise it.
Bonus points for blocking the guy who shows you your own misunderstanding.
Or do 'you', "skepdick", really BELIEVE that 'you' are 'the teacher' here, and maybe even BELIEVE ALWAYS?

If 'you' were trying to imply some 'thing' or not? Or,
If 'you' are aware that 'you' were trying to imply some 'thing' 'you' just have NO idea what 'it' was that were trying to imply here?

Nature and reality are synonymous terms so... Isn't philosophy just thinking about the nature of nature? What does that even mean?
Heck no!
I'm perfectly happy to do thinking - be it applying thinking to thinking; or applying thinking to reality. This activity doesn't require doing any philosophy.
Abstractly speaking - it's just function (self) application. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_application
Re: Philosophy undermines truth
But if I haven't defined my words how could you possibly know whether my words are true or false?

Concretely speaking - your (self) application function appears to have a malfunction.

Unrestricted expression/comprehension is not possible if we eliminate contradictions.
