Philosiphizer

Philosophy is one of those weird things in history to me. Like, how do you make a living just spouting random shit? Don't get me wrong, I think philosophy is an important part of the human experience. It leads us to questioning and wondering, a key feature of the human experience. In the old days, I get having a philosopher. They were like the scientists of their age, just trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. But these days we have science but still people that call themselves philosophers.

I guess the main difference is that they can't make a living just doing that these days. They have to make something to go along with it. Like a book or a YouTube video.

If I was hanging out with some of the greats, just philosiphising and whatnot, I'd probably have been stabbed at some point. I'm far too sarcastic for it.

"Yeah, you can't reach a destination because it takes an infinite number of steps. But that's only cause your momma's so fat that she can't even take one!"

"How many roads must a man walk down? None. Fucker should get a drivers license!"

"If you replace every part of a ship one at a time and build a new ship with those parts, which is the original ship? Adam and Eve are the originals that I ship!"

"Is the light still on in the fridge when the door is closed? Doesn't matter cause yo' momma never closes it!"

"Does AI have a soul? Geez, Plato! Aren't you in the wrong timeline? Bitch."

"Yes God exists. In my pants!"

I would be murdered very quickly. And probably not even come up with my own questions since I'd be too busy ragging on the others. It's just who I am.

Although, the answer to the trolley problem is to break the lever off and then jam it in the ground in front of the train, causing it to derail and saving everyone.....Train conductors aren't important in this version. They'll probably me AI soon enough anyway.

That's enough of philosophy though. I'm getting tired of having to remind myself to spell the F sound with a PH twice in that word so I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.

Being a philosopher makes more sense to me now than it does to be a philosopher 3000 years ago. Like hey Plato - how about you help take the crops in - no one gives a shit about people staring at a cave wall. But nowadays with AI taking all the jobs and leaving us with Walmart shelf stocker and billionaire, I think there's some room in the job market to sit around in robes and pretend like there's a higher meaning for anything.
