Maybe neuroscience is the problem, since it gives people irrational anxieties about the operation of philosophy on the brain.
Good point 👉 anxiety 👈 is normal with the mind - body problems
No it's not, it's a dumb thing to be nervous about. When actual moderate problems occur in people's real lives, I guarantee they aren't thinking about qualia or the spirit of the universe or whatever. Because it's not important. Philosophy is one of good things to target with book-banning.
I'm quoting that one too. Before EE can delete it.
Yes - philosophy is a dumb thing to be nervous about - so why is EE so nervous about it?
And there's the book- banning post too.
'not meant to be taken seriously' that looked like the shadow guy trying to 'rescue' EE again.
-----------------------------------
@Optimissed contributed some good facts in his recent posts about the history of philosophy.
And gave some good insight/advice to EE about philosophy.
Trying to tell EE that he EE is himself 'philosophizing'.
With the further advice to EE to give himself 'a good talking to'.
EE will almost certainly shun the gift.
How do I know that?
Because EE's essentially been doing the same thing on the website for about ten years now.

Heard this a long time ago ...
Some seekers after 'The Truth' were spending much of their lives so Seeking.
They organized a long journey. To Asia.
With a certain Tibetan monestary in mind.
They crossed much difficult terrain to do so.
Experienced many severe difficulties with extreme cold and heat and logistical problems.
Water. Food. Lodgings. Security. Medical.
It took many months.
-------------------
But finally - they reached the remote Monastery.
They were introduced to the Head Priest and the expedition leader said:
'Great One - What is the Secret and Meaning of Life??'
The Priest replied:
'Where is Your Horse?'
For the other - his horse was With Him.
The priest was neither emphasizing the horse - nor the Secret.
But rather - the location.

I only take the Lexapro like once every 5 days, very lose dose, and its probably not even the right medication. Likely need something like Zoloft/Prozac. Bipolar and OCD are often comorbid. Asteroids aren't a phobia, there could be tons of them flying at the Earth from the direction of the sun that we can't even detect them coming! Just one of those could wipe out the Earth and we are defenseless against them, this is a way worse threat than 3 degree temperature differences in the climate. Again, common sense. This thread is starting to get off topic let's get back to chess lol
You just again made your personal situation public and the fact that you're on prescription Lexapro and you just confirmed your fear of asteroids without you realizing it.
I just quoted you - so its too late for you to delete your post.
You've posted in favor of banning of philosophy books too.
The list of things that EE is 'nervous' about grows.
