Now that's how it's done

in the humour department... go blow Plato out your ass... love that 
I didn't even finish my philosophy course... for the aforementioned reasons of overcomplicating things... ie how do you learn something that has no structure? Loads of different philosophers all with different styles... it was just too overwhelming for me. I tried to put neural principles into play... as in learning context... mind maps and the like... and that helped to cement some of it, but ultimately I wish I didn't think like that... I wish I just tried to learn it the old fashioned way as it were... the way I did when I was at school, which was without overthinking it.
