In regard to the surprising number of mentally-imbalanced people that come across this forum, is it a sign that a large percentage of humankind is mentally-imbalanced -– or does this forum attract those who either, 1) cannot get interaction or be heard elsewhere, and/or 2) seek a loosely-moderated platform they won’t get kicked off of no matter how manic and distorted their interactions may be?
While looking at and judging "others", in forums, some people seem to forget that they are doing the EXACT SAME thing/s, for the EXAXT SAME reason/s.
They are, after all, in the EXACT SAME forum/s.

There are so many people here who think they know the answer to everything, and completely lack humility.
And they seem to lack enough self-awareness or self-honesty to be embarrassed by (or awakened to) the obvious transparency of their self-serving, supremely-knowing identity, no matter how many people point out the absurdity of it to them.
But yet NONE, like the one here who wrote the above quote, can answer, properly and correctly, the question, 'Who am 'I'?'
So, talk about not having enough self-awareness.

Which is EXACTLY what the writer if the above quite does.

It seems obvious that in a world where everyone that thinks they know the answer to life the universe and everything, can never find clear agreement with everyone else who thinks they know the answer to life the universe and everything...
Apparently the glory of a delusion-of-uniqueness blinds some from noticing/considering all the others who are also claiming unique supreme knowing too.
And yet the writer if the above quote here is COMPLETELY BLINDED to the FACT that but is that one who BELIEVES it has the supreme and only one true knowledge of things.
As this is what I have been continually POINTING OUT to this one, but who is in complete and utter DENIAL of this.
The one known as "lacewing" here is the main one for making the claim that it KNOWS the 'unique supreme knowing', while at the same time NOT noticing what "others" have been POINTING OUT.

Observing human behavior can offer a lot of insight into philosophy.
AND, it has been YOUR BEHAVIOR, which I have been POINTING OUT, but which you have REFUSED to LOOK AT nor even to consider.

They then go on to misuse and abuse philosophy as if it were a portal for them to express their false beliefs rather than a methodology to unpack those self same delusions.
YES!!! Personal agendas are clearly too intoxicating to be deterred by truth.
LOL
When will "lacewing" EVER wake up and see that they are a main offender of this?

And some people take up positions under banners (such as philosophy) to pretend that's what they're doing... while their actions show otherwise to nearly everyone else (as shown by a broad spectrum of feedback).
WHY do so many people come into philosophy forums to just LOOK AT, JUDGE, and TALK ABOUT "others", especially considering that this is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what was meant to take place in philosophical discussions?
I have been pointing out that "lacewing" is the one of the main offenders, here in this forum, for claiming that it has the unique supreme knowing.
When will they ever start to look at and discuss this?
If it wants a Truly philosophical discussion, then I await.
