What is the ultimate goal here, on this forum? Is it argumentation? Communication? Vindication? Conspiracies? Prejudices? What? What is the goal of all this?

What goal?

The majority are here because they need an outlet for their self-serving delusions, but their offline environment had enough of them. So this is not really a forum.

Ayla, substitute “motivation”, “purpose” or “rationale” for “goal” if you wish.

Philosophy.

Wow. That was easy.

But why do you post philosophy?

For what reason?
What does philosophy do for you? is it providing you with definitive answers to your personal philosophical quest?

I, for one, do not find answers, however I very much enjoy the quest.

Sharpening my sword for reasoning and truth.

Because this is better than all the other alternatives presently available.

A logician’s approach, indeed.

A pragmatist’s approach, for certain.

fundamentally, the same reason one posts anywhere...

here one has the illusion that more than a few readers and respondents has an inkling of what is actually being discussed

Why not?

That's the philosophical answer.

Who cares what the "philosophical" answer is? Philosophy is pointless and meaningless. We should all be reading the Bible and practicing theology instead.

OBVIOUSLY that all depends on the individual, as absolutely EVERY 'thing' is relative to the observer.

The ultimate goal for 'me', in this forum, is to learn how to communicate better, with 'you', human beings. Which, in turn, then leads to creating and fulfilling the ultimate goal, in Life, for EVERY one of 'us'.

The majority are here because they need an outlet for their self-serving delusions, but their offline environment had enough of them.

Is this the reason why 'you' are here, in this forum "atla"?

If no, then do 'you' have an ultimate goal for being here, in this forum?

If yes, then what is that ultimate goal for 'you' being here, in this forum?

Also, who are the 'minority' who are NOT here, in this forum, for the reason you give above for the majority being here? And, what are the 'majorities', supposed, 'self-serving delusions', EXACTLY?

Has your offline environment had enough of 'you', and that is why or partly why 'you' are here, in this forum?

How does this 'logically follow and conclude' from what 'you' earlier stated here?
