Yes quine's position is in the end philosophy boils down to science. Great. What does that have to do with you? No self/world inquiry is possible? Accept the word of your masters? What.

Because you're treading the line between detached ironic commentary and sincere stance/analysis without committing to either one in a way that is interesting enough to read. Is this a new form of highbrow white noise? Do you like being a putz

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

You're dumb. Also, you romanticize tree-monkey brain chemistry as if passion actually meant anything except the emotional fortitude to stick with your goals until you get results. I look down on that kind of self-glorification.

In early elementary school I came up with the theory that I was the only "real" person (i.e./e.g. a conscious individual with subjective experiences) that existed. Nowadays I know this is an extant theory called "Solipsism", but I had invented it independently of any outside philosophical influences.

Well poo poo, me too. I was in Jr High when the thought came to me. Eventually I brushed it off because I thought it would cause me to divulge into some psychosis. I never knew it was an actual philosophical idea. I learned something today.

So why did you respond in the first place, namedropping Quine? He wasn't even relevant. I mentioned Wittgenstein because of what he has to say about existential questions. Quine never cared about existential questions. It was a non-sequitir.

The answer lies in the removal of the question. That's Wittgenstein's view on philosophical questions. The solution lies in the dissolution of the problem, which is based in misunderstandings. There is no final culmination of a philosophical problem, it was never there.

Nope. I actually like Kant but Nietzsche does everything he wanted to do better in a more attractive and pleasant to read style, and after all philosophy is an art and therefore ought to have aesthetically pleasing qualities one way or another.

E: also the best french philosopher already forgotten by history is Gide

That's the true void..the void of refusal to stand for anything at all. To assail from an unassailable position that has nothing to offer because it is never articulated. In philosophy and in life. "I have it, but i don't want to say (or think about) what it is". Nietszche was the total antithesis of such a person, and Wittgenstein had something to say about them too in his own way.

I can add fart sounds if you want? What was profound about that? It's just true. Criticize and you've got to offer something in place of it. Otherwise you're more rabble saying "nuh uh"
