What constitutes being a philosopher?

@cicerone imposter,

ci. wrote, on another thread--

Quote:

Naw; it's all in fun.

Then he wrote on this thread--

Quote:

spendi, Your posts have no value, add nothing to the discussion, and you're just a plain pain in the butt.

From which no critical thinking logician could conclude anything other than that ci. enjoys a pain in the rectal orifice ( the nipsy in English vernacular). That is what he meant by "butt" but his religious upbringing enjoins him to deploy euphemisms in order to avoid exact scientific terminology him being a scientist and all.

@spendius,

Why would you consider this good unless you are a perverter of truth?

@reasoning logic,

Because it's a good thing if ci. suffers a little. No pain no gain the ladies say.

@spendius,

But you are not a lady are you?

@reasoning logic,

No but I've heard ladies say it often enough. The ones who say it are not so bad. It's the one's who hide it you have to watch out for.

@spendius,

You may want to stop hanging out with all of them ladies as we are growing older and those hormones seem to be calming down. Notice how you are not as emotional as you use to be? Sure most people can not see it but you should be able to.
As one begins to be a philosopher the chaseing of women ends. What do you think that drove Socrates to be a philosopher, it has been repeated over and over again in Plato's work.

@reasoning logic,

I know. That's how I can tell who the philosophers are.

I would like to know when I was emotional on a keyboard.

I own a first edition Kraus on the life of Socrates. And I've read it. They were all barmy in those days. Plato as well.

@spendius,

And spendi has a lot'sa experience chasing those women that hide. That's the reason he knows about them.

@cicerone imposter,

I sure have. The ones that didn't hide were never on my agenda.

I have already mentioned many aspects of what a philosopher needs to be a philosopher , all being true

philosophy is about thinking that the goal of thought is truth

nothing more , nothing less

@north,

I'm thinking truth is an illusion. it's not the shadows on the walls of plato's cave that's an illusion, it's the cave itself.

so lets get basic to life

you need air to breath to survive

this is a truth

lets here your arguement against this truth

there isn't

sometimes being a thinker , a philosopher , is relising the limits of ones reasoning

@north,

I'm going to "air" my disagreement.

interesting, you deny my argument before I've made it. An unusual philosophical method, to say the least.

@north,

well, no thanks, your demonstrated lack of credibility disables my interest. one cannot study the dark by shinning a light on it.
