    Yeah that's the best moments of philosophy I find too. When I read something and it agrees with me : ) further supporting my belief that I didn't need to read philosophy in the first place

    Philosophers often refute other philosopher's arguments so your assumption is inherently incorrect.

    If you consider utilizing logic and reason as "limiting one's thoughts" then I would agree with you, but I would contend it's been the best cognitive approach humans ever developed.

    You slightly misunderstand me on both these quotes.
    The first one, I KNOW philosophers refute other philosophers. I mean, "normal" people assume they cannot BE a philosopher and refute something.

    The second one, my point is people DON'T utilize their own logic and reason because they believe a famous dead guy is irrefutable.

    Well I meant more that Nietzsche doesnt agree with me.
    But he challenges me to think outside my own box and hold two opposing views in one hand (mine and his) and make sense of them both. I appreciate him for that.

    But with most other philosophers and philosophy in general I'm just like, why am I supposed to even care about any of this. I just cant get into it

    I feel I'm going to further misunderstand you on the first part, so I'll skip that.

    The second one, logic has a specific meaning and context in philosophy, which has been developed over many centuries by the dead guys. So whether you're aware of it or not, you're utilizing these ideas. The term "logic" has become more generalized but that seems to be a symptom of our culture, kind of similar to how people generalize the term "theory" when discussing science.

    That's my point. I can utilize it without reading about it. I'm not saying what they said and did wasn't great. I'm just saying I'd rather live in the moment with my own brain and thoughts and ideas than spend too much time studying what other people thought.

    Fair enough, although I think this type of mentality with some people leads to a slippery slope of twitter mobs and craziness on social media. :tongueout:

    Philosophy, pfff
    Philosophy is just words.
    Actions speak louder than words.
    Nobody needs a philosopher, they need a do'er.

  11. To do something without thinking about it first is just silly. Just my opinion.

    Nobody said you weren't allowed to think, but talking to my bacon ain't gonna cook my bacon. I can't philosophise about cooking my bacon to cook my bacon, at some point I'm going to have to take action and that's the real difference between a philosopher and a battler.
     
  13. Yeah... That should be self evident...

  16. It was just a quote that a philosopher said that I just believed to be accurate. If you have a good marriage you'll be happy but if you don't it will make you question everything. It wasn't supposed to be a debate about philosophy. XD

    I never said anything about thought.

    Chapter 1: you look but do not see and you hear but do not listen.

    :p
