You discuss philosophy and you decide which are the important questions. You disregard perfectly valid and unresolved matters of philosophy because, you want.
That you say something in a clearly matter and you have an edge on the discussing method doesn't make you right. I know you know it's not all there is to discuss and you clearly move the discussion to the plane where you want so that others think it's all there is to it. That is fucked up. I'd rather have an honest discussion than a debate I know I will win because my opponent doesn't know about a flaw in my arguments.
What you're saying is well thought, but it's not all there is about the topic. And I fucking know you know that.
The real big picture here is not that there's a solution that is being worked out by inteligent people and that others are not smart enough to catch up. The real big picture is that the more you ask, the deeper you go, the more baffling issues emerge, paradoxes and questions we don't have an answer yet, because the complexity surpases our ability to come up with a general answer to it.
It's of better use to identify the questions and make them clear so people can make decisions after an assesment, than to side with the one author that "intellectuals" point as being on the right because he's like them and talks like them and thinks in a linear manner like them.
I understand the value of thinking something has a solution, because it empowers one to find one instead of staying wandering in our heads. But the best you can achieve is a framework that works for a certain scope, a certain group of people. But if what you aim for is real understanding, to think this matter is solved already is shortsighted.
*yawn*
Yeah yeah, we can't know anything at all, the world is too complicated to understand yet. I know your shtick. But if someone comes and rapes your sister, I hope you do better than throw a philosophy book at him.
THat is not my point. My point is that you take one view and treat it as if it was the only one. It's not the case, there are many things to consider here, and that's what bothers me.
And if you don't like philosophy, that's fine, it's not for everyone, you should get a law degree, then you'll be hands on making laws.
