Hello everyone,
I'm glad to join this community. I've always been interested in philosophy, although I've mostly approached it as an amateur through books and online discussions.
My main interests revolve around ethics, political philosophy, and social debates, especially how philosophical concepts help us navigate complex and sometimes controversial topics.
I also have a soft spot for epistemology, I find it fascinating how different frameworks shape the way people interpret reality.
Looking forward to learning from all of you and participating in the discussions.

Pleased to meet you Mickey.
It might be time to get some threads on the go in the ethical theory board again, the guy who ruined all conversation there for several years seems to be disillusioned now.

Welcome! Your irritation indicates that you are probably an actual human being.

The forum's been crashing a lot because of bot attacks. They often infiltrate the 'Introduce yourself' thread and pretend to be human. It's quite hilarious to see how easily the more gullible on here are fooled

Why do you claim this?

A 'philosophy forum'. The clue is in 'this' being a 'forum' on a 'philosophy' website.

A rose by any other name....
Naming suffices.
I now know what kind of forum this is.
But let me not judge a group by only one of its members.
If you were to tell me that you are a philosopher, I would have to believe you, for you said so, and named yourself so, so it must be so.

Do you REALLY?
If you BELIEVE you REALLY DO, then what 'kind of forum' is 'this', EXACTLY?

Now, here, is ANOTHER PRIME example of ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY, itself.
Besides the Fact of BELIEVING 'things' MAKES one 'STUPID', in and of itself anyway, 'this one' ACTUALLY CHOOSES TO BELIEVES 'things' JUST BECAUSE another SAID SO.
Also, NOTICED it did NOT JUST ANSWER and CLARIFY A VERY SIMPLE CLARIFYING QUESTION.

The endless questioning harpy.....Socratic method or a feminine tactic of annoying the other until he surrenders?
In this case....the 'other' that 'said so,' is you.
So, sarcasm is not your forte.
Insults are.
Quick to the draw.
Premature... interlocutor. He wants to get off fast. The impulse cannot be restrained.
Defensive, as fuck.
Brittle ego.
