What are you thinking now?

[DanielBenoit]

No, no, no. There's always an inch that works okay. Just look inside and you'll find it. As for the other inches, you can find a way to work around them

Thanks Max, you're great

Descartes..."I think, therefore I am!"

Does that mean that some people don't exist?

Not exactly. It was the deductive result Descartes derived from extreme skepticism. What he meant by that was that he could doubt everything, even his own perception, but he couldn't doubt the fact that he was thinking, and thus, he concluded, thinking is the bedrock of our knowledge of our own existence.

You're taking things far far too seriously...

No I was just making a general remark. I evidently love talking about philosophy and found my chance. Tis' all that happened.

Pink Floyd shall forever haunt me.

"We're just two lost souls (swimming) in a fish bowl, year after year"

that might be swimming instead of floating though, have to listen to the song to check lol.

Edit: yep it's swimming

Ohh how that song depresses me to no end! My nostalgia comes to an almost unbearable point when I listen to bands like Pink Floyd, The Eagles or The Beatles.

I'm going to die if I don't listen to The Dark Side of the Moon soon, and yet I'm scared to because it's been so long

memories *sigh*

Noted..
Here is a serious question that just popped into my head. What is the philosophy of humor?

[DanielBenoit]

Arghh, Pink Floyd embodies me so easily. Very few things have touched me deeper than their music:













This is going to sound weird, but I feel as if I could describe my entire life using just their album covers.


Btw, does anyone get a sense of a Dali influence in some of their cover-art?

Come on, now it is you who is taking it so seriously. I don't know why I can't just make a simple comment on Descartes. This is a "what are you thinking now" thread you know.

[samercury]

The more I listen to it, the less sense the song "Fireflies" makes

[BienvenuJDC]

Sorry...I didn't mean it that way. It is a serious question that I was thinking.

[DanielBenoit]

Oh I'm sorry, I suppose I'm the one who needs to take a chill pill.




Oh and concerning your original question, I'm sure that Plato has said something about humour, but I'm not sure.

[Lacra]

Hmmm, tired to think in "what are thinking others about me"... maybe I will leave it down.

[Heathcliff]

Aw, DB and Bien resolved it. I was going to start taking bets on who'd win.
Good.

I likey all of those, what I'd guess are album covers.

I'm thinking about Salada biscuits with cheese and salami on them and banana Nesquick.
YAY!! My mum just agreed to let me have it for breakfast.
Well, she supports it all except from the salami, but I'm allowed to because I'm a teenager, and that means I'm invincible, right?

[blazeofglory]

I am reading philosophy and ideas float in my minds and they appear and disappear so fast and I am really confused. I do not what is truth and what is untruth swirling in a vortex of things or events.

Of course reading philosophy really absorbs me and transports me to a different world and some time substantial and sometimes insubstantial

[Heathcliff]

I just remembered I left me Italian workbook at school.
I knew I would and I did!!
This is great news. Do you get it?
Now it is more of a challenge for me to study for my oral presentation and remember what I've written.
Therefore I'll explore some possibilities and come up with something else.
Therefore I'll have a better understanding of the language!!

Weird, aren't I?
