	It's unclear at this point whether the philo_majors mods may be following the example of fandom_wank. ...orgy jokes? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	...or is it? Can we even be sure that the argument exists? DO THESE PIXELS EVEN EXIST? Oh God, I'm faking philosophy on the Internet at three in the morning. I'm not fit to live. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	See, that's what I was referring to with the remark about F_W mods...but given how ~~wanky~~ high-strung and melodramatic philosophy people tend to be, I couldn't quite be sure. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Wow, 'philosophy' is a wanky comm. Is that gerbilsage I spy? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That's pretty crazy, so the kid started the comm, everyone basically hated him, so then he gave co-maintainership to someone else who also hated him and in turn stole the comm from him. And nobody cares? How sad for him! (Reply to this)

Hot damn. See, this is why my friends and I tend to stick to ancient philosophy and defend it. Rene Descartes can take his "Cogito ergo sum" and shove it right up his ass. Thought does not prove or disprove our existence, after all. What if we're all just in one really freakin' advanced virtualized reality with (compared to what we currently know) really fuckin' awesome AI?

What if we're really in the Matrix?

I AM THE ONE!

But seriously, the AI can't be that good, based on what I see every day on the way to work.

	Strangely enough, the defenders of the Greek philosophers are some of the wankier philosophy-types. There's no escape, it seems -- philosophy breeds wank. (Reply to this)(Parent)
