how do you characterize yourself philosophically?

Poll question: how do you characterize yourself philosophically?

[Newest Reality]

1. A philosophy

with no label whatsoever that applies with any relevancy or accuracy, at its core.

That's what happens when you overdo it and take it, to your own satisfaction, to the extreme.

Nobody entrenched in cultures will accept that thought itself is the problem, (I can almost hear the hosts of rebuttals being locked and loaded). In fact, nobody can, using thought, understand this. I made and closed my case and I suggest no alternatives or solutions nor do I imply them.

That was quick! Next?

3. Estragon, is that you?

[branders seine]

7. I've been waiting.

[patrice]

9. might as well, there's nothing to be done . . .

Although, apparently, I don't really believe that, because I continue to make an effort, but it IS getting harder to try.

Since there are no absolutes, what do you make of the observation that the point of deconstruction may be construction and vice versa?

[branders seine]

13. any good carpenter will tell you

that deconstruction and construction are all points on the same continuum. The real question is the nature of order.

[Atticus]

14. "We are all born mad. Some remain so". nt

[branders seine]

5. non-implication duly not noted.

[Atticus]

15. Such rhetorical cul de sacs are indicative of Palinesque thinking. nt.

2. More or less a Hedonist in the classical sense

Which has really nothing to do with the modern sense of the word.

4. An old hippie, just trying to get by.

Peace, brothers and sisters. It's still a good idea.

:hippie:

[branders seine]

6. I consider myself a lapsed Dudist.

Fuck it. How can I go bowling? My lapsed faith really held the room together.

[AnArmyVeteran]

34. I consider myself a relapsed Nudist

[Atticus]

8. 'He's an old Hippie and he don't know what to do:

Should he hang on to the old; should he grab on to the new?

He's an old Hippie and he don't know who to trust.

He don't want to hurt nobody; he's just trying real hard to adjust."

Peace, love, and brotherhood.

25. I miss the good parts of the 60's soooooooooooo much. It felt like we

were going someplace... goodness, kindness, awareness and moving for peace. And the music was incredible. This country needs to mellow out sooooo much. Agree so much, "Peace, brothers and sisters. It's still a good idea."

12. Actually, my usual paradigm is at the cleaners this week

I'll check the tag when it gets back. :-)

32. Cynic/stoic/hedonist/nihilist ...

meaninglessness
