GREATEST PHILOSOPHER

[ragnar]

I have to admit I share Paul Graham's view:

Paul Graham

Wittgenstein is popularly credited with the idea that most philosophical controversies are due to confusions over language. I'm not sure how much credit to give him. I suspect a lot of people realized this, but reacted simply by not studying philosophy
...
The most valuable way to approach the current philosophical tradition may be ... to study it as an example of reason gone wrong.

... instead of denouncing philosophy, most people who suspected it was a waste of time just studied other things.
...
Because philosophy's flaws turned away the sort of people who might have corrected them, they tended to be self-perpetuating.

Philosophers all seem angry/jaded/bitter souls. Every single goddamn one of them. I hate them all.

Philosophy sucks. Life is meant to be lived, not analyzed to death.

"Life is meant to be lived, not analyzed to death." ~Sam philosophising about philosophy in relation to life, or perhaps vice versa.

The only philosophy book I could ever actually read and understand something of was Wittgenstein "On Certainty". Everything else has basically been incomprehensible to me. I guess I am too stupid. Kant was horrible.

None on the list - I haven't heard of over 70% of them, anyway.

If I voted Socrates, would that make me a hypocrite?

I know it's an old post, but
What you fail to realize in your pool of self-absorbed bullshit is that LIVING LIFE is what made these philosophers angry/jaded/bitter souls. Philosophy is an attempt to change/fix that.

Anyways, what do you think this place is about? Socionics has its foot in philosophy, whether it becomes decree or taboo.
And you're a hypocrite by association then.
