@thenewthinkery This clearly isn’t where Greg lives. There’s no reference to it being the world headquarters of nice people or whatever nonsense he used to proclaim.
"Philosophy as such is nothing but genuine awareness of the problems, i.e., of the fundamental and comprehensive problems. It is impossible to think about these problems without becoming inclined toward a solution, toward one or the other of the very few typical solutions. Yet as long as there is no wisdom but only quest for wisdom, the evidence of all solutions is necessarily smaller than the evidence of the problems. Therefore the philosopher ceases to be a philosopher at the moment at which the "subjective certainty" of a solution becomes stronger than his awareness of the problematic character of that solution. At that moment the sectarian is born. The danger of succumbing to the attraction of solutions is essential to philosophy which, without incurring this danger, would degenerate into playing with the problems. But the philosopher does not necessarily succumb to this danger, as is shown by Socrates, who never belonged to a sect and never founded one. And even if the philosophic friends are compelled to be members of a sect or to found one, they are not necessarily members of one and the same sect"
NEW: Philadelphia crossing guard scarfs down an ice cream cone as he recounts how he rescued a child after a stolen truck crashed into a playground.
"Thank you, Jesus!" the crossing guard, Jamele Ransom, was heard shouting during an interview.
Ransom says he was "bobbing and weaving" during the incident.
"I grab a kid out, because he’s stuck, frantican, pull him out. Ain’t nobody in there. Guy’s in there. He’s trapped in there. Then I run out and get myself together because my heart is boom, boom, boom, boom."
No children were hurt.
@GregMcBrayer3@ACTC5@BeingMattWells@tcleveland4real Nobody denies it. They’re just upset that you stole this interpretive approach from your freshman roommate Dan (whose name spelled backwards is “Nad”) without giving him credit.
@NickAllmaier This is correct, and what everyone else has replied is an accurate elaboration. Also, if/when you graduate/transfer, your grades come with a letter from the dean that explains the gram and attempts to break it into conventional majors + minors for ease of interpretation.
@Athens_Stranger I always think of Jacob Klein’s claim that there were only 12 philosophers in the history of western thought.
