I prefer the original titles. This site was one person’s idea and it worked. It drew all of you and me here. Progress and change is necessary yet, we need the past as well. Home is home.
A bit of irony and sarcasm there, Jakob? I don’t want to presume what you actually meant by that.
You certainly cannot be saying that philosophers are anti-social creatures, can you?
Can you elaborate on that. What odd conversation and what decision?
We are talking arent we? So no. What I said is that we come here because we love philosophy. Obviously we would not go into a forum if we actually thought of it as “non-philosophical chat”.
This is reductive. A site dedicated to philosophy, that attracts people who love philosophy, can still have an area dedicated to non-philosophical chat. Academics go to bars, politicians take up painting, sports players read books. None of this is at all inconsistent. We are a forum for philosophers, but philosophy cannot be all of a philosopher’s life.
I like “Down Time” too. Maybe that addresses Jakob’s concerns as well.
Um, I disagree. Every part of my life is basically philosophy. Even when I’m chatting non-philosophically, I’m still being philosophical. I wake up every morning and piss philosophy.
Same here. I had figured that outlook for more or less universal among ILP posters. But then Carleas hasnt been posting for a good while.
Carleas, or another mod; a request then to move some of my threads to the Philosophy forum. Please transfer this one as soon as you get the chance… viewtopic.php?f=2&t=188756
I’ll put up most of my threads for transfer. I am beyond wanting to post my thoughts in a “non-philosophical chat” forum.
