Alpha NTs: Do You Like Philosophy?

Sure. As long as you're prepared to win via any method - no matter how underhanded and dirty.

I'm always willing to win in underhanded ways. Especially when there's an SEI on the line. How do you feel about using seduction as a weapon?

I would feel awesome about it. I think I want to be on your team.

OMG I'm already bored with this thread, and it's only talking about Risk. Let's go play crab soccer of something.

I'm a philosophy major. What you have to understand is that there are different fields that exist within philosophy that don't fit neatly into the areas mentioned. Two that come to mind are Continental philosophy, which focuses on issues like, "why do we exist?", and logic, which can be divided into informal logic (e.g, fallacies, argumentation) and formal logic (i.e., deductive logic).

My favourite areas are logic and Analytic philosophy. I remember my first philosophy course. Of all the courses I had previously taken in university, it was the best match for my thought process. It involved theorizing, analyzing things logically, and had very little emphasis on empirical facts. This pretty much describes how I think most of the time.
