Hi there, you all.
I just want to say that I’m happy that there’s a philosophy community.
Please post your opinions, ideas or observations in here. They are most valuable if they stem from an actual desire for truth.
That said, I’d ask to avoid posting long walls-of-text (if you know what I mean). They are hard-to-read, making engagement less likely. Often, the thoughts in them can be condensed to a waay shorter text anyways.
That said, I believe philosophy is a bit like a distillation process: You take raw ideas and try to purify them to the point where you really just concisely say something. That is the essence of philosophy.
What do you think of it?

There’s a tradeoff: most ideas can be concisely expressed, if your audience already understands all the relevant concepts. But if those concepts aren’t already widely understood, you need explain them in more depth unless you want to restrict the conversation to specialists.
