On March 16, Lawrence Oates stepped outside the tent with the immortal words:


“I am just going outside and may be some time.”


He walked out into a blizzard and -40 degree weather, never to be seen again.



Those antarctic penguins got him !!!       Shocked

Isn’t it wolderful how philosophy has widened it’s scope to include just about anything that may happen on or off the planet?

You're entitled to your opinion no matter how odd ? Only thing I’m perplexed about on this thread is the bizarre ideas as to what constitutes philosophy, a strictly well defined discipline.

philosophy
/fɪˈlɒsəfi/

noun: philosophy
1.
the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline.

Even this statement of yours is philosophical

Did you think about that before you posted it?

No doubt you’d think a recipe for poached eggs to be philosophical.
Must do better.

You will not find much love of or pursuit of wisdom in academic philosophy.

https://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/345/browse?type=subject&value=Philos...

the definition "the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence" is touchingly silly, even if it's from Oxford. As if 'the fundamental nature' of anything was ever captured and pinned down for 'academic study'.

I came to that conclusion many decades ago. In particular the French ‘deconstructionist’ movement impressed me as utter nonsense posing as- er - well, I’ve never been sure what the hell it was posing as. The French however have a long tradition of dishing up over-tossed word salad impressing themselves mightily with it .

Two of their 'best' were raging poofs - Barthes, Foucault. Charming writers, completely bonkers ideas. Many of their Anglo epigones also (Judith Butler, gawd'elpus)

Bureaucratic fccwits live among us, in ever greater numbers:


A council in England's south-east has been forced to apologise after lifting cars with a crane to paint double yellow lines along the road edge, then fining the owners of those cars after they were lowered back down.



That's England -  imagine China, India, Sudan, Nigeria etc.
