Someone here Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 @Eothasian it's true . i want to become a philosopher. By that I mean a professional philosopher . Not a "forum philosopher "lol What's wrong with desiring it as a career ? Although it's too late for me because I only have the option to study business in university.

Eothasian Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) All a philosopher does is continue to ask himself/herself questions. No title or education required, is all i said.

No title or education required, is all i said. No. i want to work as a professional philosopher. Do you understand what I mean? Just like people work as doctors or lawyers. It should be obvious the difference between just philosophizing in your home vs going to academia and studying and teaching philosophy.

Phil Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 @Someone here I’m not suggesting chasing any thing for feeling. To be frank, Im saying evolution and the notion consciousness arose or arises from ‘humans’ is the root of all inner and outer world conflict and suffering.

Orb Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 @Phil how does the belief that consciousness arises from humans and the belief in evolution lead to all suffering?

Joseph Maynor Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Why is feeling privileged over thinking? Is privileging feeling over thinking a thought? One has to be able to see their own biases. Not everyone can or wants to see their own biases -- they take their own biases to be everyone else's ideal truth.

Not two. 9 hours ago, Joseph Maynor said: Is privileging feeling over thinking a thought? Yep. 9 hours ago, Joseph Maynor said: One has to be able to see their own biases. Not two. Where is this thinker thinking, this self in time which has biases? Zoom out. It’s a colossal misnomer. 😅 9 hours ago, Joseph Maynor said: Not everyone can or wants to see their own biases -- they take their own biases to be everyone else's ideal truth. That’s an assumption / bias / a thought. It arises or appears now-only, and is believed without question, as if there is a separate self for whom time is passing.

Joseph Maynor Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) You can feel things long before you formulate what is happening. It just doesn't feel right. You noticed that. Then you came up with all your thoughts that you may have written down. Feeling is highly intelligent but it gets side-swiped by other thoughts and hopes and so on.
