Why did Socrates and Plato always insist on using "mundane" examples?by Age » Fri Aug 29, 2025 7:01 pm
Why do some people feel the need to express and share their most mundane daily experiences in a philosophy forum of all places?
One can understand why some people take photographs of, and tell the most mundane stories of, their daily life experiences on social media platforms, but in a 'philosophy forum'. What does these types of people think a 'philosophy forum' was actually set up for, exactly?

Now, a thing is, as Plato and Aristotle repeated, composed of and defined by its two parts, which can never be physically separated but they can be intelligibly grasped separately, the noun and the verb, i.e. the limit, which is "exactly" and the verb which is relative or never exactly, but proportionally. One might notice that Age is always asking everyone to define their thingy using only one element of that thing, which is exactly simple arithmetic, because he is too stupid to grasp the relatives, or verbs. But that is a congenital defect, he did not make himself, so we should charge the parents with bringing a monster into the world, but then, we would have to first survive that confrontation with our own parents. I survived, kinda.
The correlative, as Plato would note, of the word mundane, would be super mundane, i.e. the supposed campground of the religious and religious fanatics; therefore, Age's philosophy is neither, which is "exactly" the sum total of his personal contributions to thought. If you only insist on one part of speech, you really have nothing to say.
I have never heard of anyone claiming that philosophy was not about reality, save crack pots, and those whose brains have seeped out of their ears.
There has always been a problem with philosopher wannabes as they actually believe that philosophy is not about the mundane, which is also called fucking reality.
The Philosopher has always been as noted not only in Genesis, but also by Confucius, Plato and actual philosophers, learning how to tell the truth, judgment, of mundane things.
