Reply to comment by PizzerJustMetHer in Philosophy has never been the detached pursuit of truth. It’s always been deeply invested in its own cultural perspective. by IAI_Admin

Exactly. No one can remove themselves from the context of who they are in any moment (culture, personal lived experiences, language, beliefs, scientific views of the era, etc. etc.). Like a whale, you might float to your own surface, but in the water you still are ha.

A few conversations with me and you might change your mind about that.

Other person: You should watch this movie, I think you'd enjoy it.

My thoughts: ("Should" is a myth, the universe does not revolve around us organisms, we humans are just egomaniacs, even if the Judeo-Christian God existed He could not logically make Himself "should" say "Let there be light!" or make the light "should" exist at any point in time)

My words: Okay, I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion!

Also, I did say "you might change your mind". 😁
