1. I'm utterly ignorant

on myriad topics.

On other topics I can "fake it" convincingly. Comes with the Philosophy degree.

10. Hey! I got that with my Philosophy degree too!

Do you also have the ability to argue logically about absolutely everything, even if you agree with it?

Standard Philosophy Exam Technique:

Q: Xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx?
A: That's not the correct question. You should have asked "Yyyyyyy yyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyy yyyyyy". The answer to the question you should have asked is that there is no real answer.

14. My technique

that I've posted here before, got me through one of the better undergrad Philosophy departments in America with better than a gentleman's "C." Method: Never read anyone else's work with the goal of actually understanding that work. Instead, read until you find something you can disagree with vociferously, and memorize roughly what it is and why you disagree with it. Then read on and find the next thing, and do the same. You may have to find 5 or 6 disagreements to cover a 1.5 hour class, fewer for the short classes. Then during discussion of the reading in class (among those who actually did it), you absorb their summation of the stuff you were supposed to have read on your own. When called upon, simply invoke one of the memorized disagreements for cover.

Lazy man's guide to Philosophy. I couldn't believe it worked.

3. I am very absorptive

[orangecoloredapple]

4. truthfully

I agree. I have always told those around me that I absorb. I have reached an age where I need to stop taking ideas, and start giving the results of my ideas.

5. you and

Oh... absorptive...

[Fozzledick]

6. Because I know I'm a fool...

...just like Socrates!:silly:

[Yentatelaventa]

7. Because the fact

that I didn't ignore such a question should answer it.

[orangecoloredapple]

8. yup

okay

9. Perhaps simply reading it and moving on would be a wiser choice. PDFTT

11. No idea, but I sometimes wish I were!

Life would be a lot less complicated if I simply were as ignorant as all my relatives are. Why fate chose to make me the family malcontent, I honestly couldn't tell you.

12. Ignorance never questions itself

I'm constantly questioning myself.
I'm not ignorant.
Am I?

13. I'm completely ignorant and stupid

therefore I can still learn.
