nadasaki Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 That's just my way of making contact with new groups. A gentle wave, raised eyebrows and an almost whisper-like "hi". So, hi. My name's Ivan and maybe a year ago a friend of mine recommended Stephan's YouTube channel. I watched a few videos with interesting titles and became immediately drawn into this very realistic philosophy which until then was a very abstract subject to me. I subscribed and followed further videos more or less frequently and I think learned quite a few new points of view on various topics which were controversial to say the least. I'm not quite sure whether I'll be a regular poster here but I felt like stepping out, maybe meet new interesting like-minded people or just for the fun of it. I'll see you around, peace. 1
Anuojat Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Welcome aboard, Ivan Id like to point out that in philosofy its not really "point of wiev" since we deal with if its true or false, valid or invalid, is it rational or not well argued with reason and evidence and logic. I dont wish to come off as overtly critical for your first post however, merely that its mistake with word and philosofy thats often made so it bears pointing out. [if stefan says sometimes "my point of wiev/opinion is that" himself then its entirely differant issue though and you can ignore what i jsut said in that case.]
Kevin Beal Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hi Ivan! Welcome to the boards That's funny about the greeting. It looks just like mine. I'm curious how you used to look at philosophy prior to the show, if you felt like sharing.
nadasaki Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks Kevin. About my view on philosophy. I didn't actually have any opinion about it because I found it mostly vague and not worthy of my time, something too abstract and not quite useful? But as it turned out, I've spent most of my late teens+ years questioning everything around me (like laws and social rules) and dwelling in the realm of philosophy without even knowing it I suppose. Good to be here.
Matthew Ed Moran Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 don't woo me like that! jk welcome to the forums!
nadasaki Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks Matthew and Anuojat! @Anuojat Thanks for brining that up, I'm already learning something - what a great point. Also, can one be overly critical? I mean, can absence of true rationality and reasonable judgement be justified in order to not hurt someone's feelings?
