Believing that one knows, when they can't, necessarily, as a means to release that frustration.

Nuthin' I don't already know: 'human beings can be real shits' sums it up.

As a philosopher, the chair conveys nothing to me.

As a philosopher, this thread of yours conveys to me that you're an imbecile.

Hopelessness. Futility. Evil always wins, because it is not constrained by ethics. Philosophy and philosophers are are redundant redundant.

Yep.

So: play to win...

With over 200 hits right now upon this thread and not much in the way of actual philosophical opinions in relation to the presence of this chair alone in a stark room I will give mine:

GITMO seems bazaar to me.

Un-American.

Raw, naked, un-American public relations.

As an American I question it's existence and it's purpose.

Why did we go down THIS particular road? This road of torture.

As a philosopher and as a citizen of the world I feel more & more empathy for the detainees and feel as if everything about GITMO is unjust towards them.

The chair represents a reaction to the efforts of a chiseled philosopher who, in their mind, knows right from wrong and their efforts to have a referendum upon their own existence.
