Philosophy Colleagues: If we are not fighting for the soul of philosophy and the sake of humankind, then what are we doing in philosophy?

In a few words, my philosophy is this: We should speculate about matters outside our perception and understanding in an effort to grasp them. But at the end of the day, there is our reality, and we are given a limited time to make the best of it. Visit the website in my profile.

deep into the night
we fail to experience
morning's promise
and run to catch up all day

Some use love, even in its painful aspects, as a drug to distract from other concerns in their life.

All philosophy professionals should be married and encouraged to have children so they have to explain to someone what they do and why it matters.

Someone from the Dean's Office walks into the Philosophy Department and asks its denizens: "What do you do, and why does it matter?" An unheard audacity. But a long overdue one bound to occur. I think they better prepare.

The history of philosophy: 1. How does it work and how do we best situate ourselves? 2. Believe and do what we say so you go to a nice place 3. Where does all come from and how is it? 4. Here we are, so let's make the best of it. 5. Let's do math and say none else can be known!

The worst self-inflicted torture is halting and fixing your life waiting for someone to return love. Move on and maybe revisit if you still care.

The universe is too complex to be explained by a particular philosopher or philosophy. And I don't make such a claim either. But the inquiries of each of us grant some useful insights. Mine are focused on human survival and thriving. To learn more, visit the site in my profile.

Sick hearing “reality is an illusion” as if that were deep news. One must be an idiot (or philosopher) to think impressions are more than approximates. But we still experience objects and processes and need to and can manipulate them and ourselves. So spare us your ethereal BS.

Academic philosophy is remarkably constructive. After all, it has managed to build a “Scheinwelt” in which its denizens are zeniths of human accomplishment and importance. A mental zoo in which exibits visit one another.

The continual failure to acknowledge and value individuality and to trust and promote its unfolding prevents the potentials of individual and collective human happiness from taking flight.

We only can fool our minds, but we cannot make up our hearts. They are our true compass, good or bad.
