We need a best philosopher category. I vote Chad Woot and Nestor.

I'm sorry!!

To be fair, I don't remember reading any philosophical posts from you. Maybe if I had come across them more you'd be my clear choice.

By "best philosopher" I suppose we mean "best at writing the maximum amount of words without saying anything about reality"

I jest. Philosophy is important, I've come to realize how much as of late. In certain forms, anyway. It can also be entirely pointless if you're not careful. But if you keep your head in reality at least, the mental workout can be good even without practical applications.

That will make forbidden fruit even more forbidden.

What if I ask you very nicely, as a friend, to please not join?

That's really nice that you and others here are looking out for him. Even if ya'll don't believe there's anything wrong with it, you still respect him enough to discourage him from doing something he'd regret.

Oh come on. 

You gotta admit Chad and Nestor are extremely intelligent people and definitely know their stuff when it comes to this subject. Where's the love?

I tend to spend an unhealthy amount of time philosophizing, and with little to no practical application to show for it.

It's not just about mental workout. Philosophy nowadays should be the guide of science, in a certain sense. It should be scientific in nature, or at least scientifically informed and oriented, but it's still extremely important, as it ever was. It's the purest form of knowledge there is in that it's raw.

The art of philosophy doesn't come from sounding like a philosopher but rather from thinking like one.

CL: I will agree that they are both intelligent. I wouldn't like to comment further publicly, but I have made my feelings clear to both before.

I disagree. You should totally join. Forbidden fruits are very tasty. Imagine a really sexy forbidden fruit belly dancing in front of you. Good. Now join the dark side.

Be silent, Satan.
