What do you find’s most sexy and attractive in someone? The physical things you can see? Or the intangible things, and mostly their mind?
I don’t believe in horoscopes, but from today I might (a bit). I had been thinking in the morning about what relevance studying, learning, reading about and writing about philosophy has to actual real life, to social interaction and relationships and friendships (and whether it has any). And today was also the deadline of The New Philosopher Essay Contest (on…
As humans we’ve pretty much run our course. We’ve been going thousands of years to make advances in weapons, agriculture, engineering, all to build up to getting amazing as shit at making technology that is faster, better, can do more calculations quicker and ultimately smarter than us. All this is going one way. And it’s hard to argue against it……
I’m not a robot. But the limitations of the things that make us human, seem to far outweigh those that AI already has (and will continue to improve upon at crazy ass rates).

But there’s one thing we have no clue about, one thing that’s physically impossible to experience and share knowledge about (and therefore impossible to know what the fuck we’re on about), and that’s… yep… Death.¹ The one…

If Socrates said ‘There’s only one thing I know – that I know nothing.’, doesn’t that mean that he’s saying he actually knows TWO things? The fact that he knows nothing and 2. The actual…
This is something that my mate Matt said the other day… If Socrates was the wisest bloke human guy there ever was, and he used to say ‘There’s only one thing I know… that I don’t know anything,’ doesn’t that mean that he still claimed to know that fact –the fact that he knew nothing. Homeboy Socrates was probably taking…
