So go over and say hello to him and tell him that ILP has banned you then I shall join
you for a very deep meaningful discussion about death and why it is good to be dead
Fine. But you need to provide proof that death is eternal or else you're wasting my time.
Only 50% of what I post is nonsense, the other 50% is gold. You know this.

The two greatest philosophers on this forum are ken and Dontaskme who are very deep and profound thinkers
And so I must therefore acknowledge their vast intellectual superiority for they are constantly challenging me
You have never won an argument against me, so why am I not on this list also? I am the Great and Wise Trixie.
But genuine philosophical process is not concerned with mere winning, for it is not a word game to be won or lost. It only concerns itself with a furtherance of genuine insight, In actual fact those which would argue beyond this point have already lost, and no matter how plausible may be their argument. To win is not to create strong argument, it is to have the instinct of mind to realise that which actually is, and as and when required to in the face of ones personal argument, come hitherto perception. As far as our genuine philosophical abilities are concerned it is at least a beginning/a platform from whence to commence once we stop copying the sentiments and vocabulary of others. It is of course essential to try and view a circumstance as though it were for the very first time, for thought processes are hardly likely to be novel else. We are simply too interconnected. Should one of you become author to new philosophical sentiment, so new thinking which works under every circumstance of it, the second half of your genius would be in knowing it. You lose nothing should others here lag behind.
My philosophical contribution so far here then is the following sentiment: In terms of any at all distinction from animals at large the more one refrains from basic animal behaviorism in favor of at the very least perceived higher ground, the less animal one very conceivably becomes. To refrain from sexual intercourse in search of greater love, and this even despite normal virtually over whelming desire for engagement, is likely nowhere an animal trait.
