My shipmate you are daft at times.
To be a sage is to have the enough wisdom to self declare one's self as being a sage.

The main reason for philosophy is about understanding ideas in order to get the clearest picture of 'truth'. It can become too obscure and academic at times. In that way, it may lose sight of the art of living. Of course, analysis does involve the academic, especially the ongoing synthesis of science and multidisciplinary approaches. However, it is important for philosophy to be more than an appendix to science. It involves the search for understanding of each unique individual, as a foundation for life, with ongoing potential for modification.

There isn't one.
Ideas are simply a free forming phenomena from nowhere, now here, and nothing is making them appear, or making them disappear.
Ideas are just happening, forming for no reason or purpose. Life has no goals, life simply is, whatever it is doing, or not doing.
There is absolutely nothing in this for the idea, for what is an idea, I've no idea.

I would think God probably doesn't worry a whole lot about what we think of him/her/it. I mean, if I were God, I think I would probably feel no more worried about what humans think than I as a human worry about what my cat or dog thinks. I love cats and dogs (and most other animals) BTW. My cat gets mad and bites me once in a while but I can't get mad at her, it's still part of the family,attofishpi wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2024 1:09 pm What do you people that consider yourselves philosophers consider wot GOD wants?

We men are not the judge of men.

What do men judge?
DOGS. I set my dog free with my seal of approval as all sages should, as a seal.
