Philosophy Factory

Post Reply New Topic

I am opening a philosophy factory, with machines designed to squeeze my friends with philosophy majors until all the thoughts come out and I can collect them in jars and sell them to thoughtless people.

anybody want in? I'm expecting a HUGE profit margin...

Sometimes I feel like I am here to be generating my thoughts as in like if they were to replace the reality that others know.

But there are many times when I feel like I ran out of thoughts. (personal irony)

It sounds like there is good creativity in this idea anyways. I think that I know that its hard to sequence information for one to simply live in the order that it has taken place.

If you can show that its valuable then people want to have it.

I don't expect huge profits. I do not think that thoughtless people will want thoughts, nor do I think that most people would find philosophy useful.

It's all in the marketing... ^.^ We make giant billboards that say "got thoughts" and show celebreties with philosophy all over their faces.

You could never get the celebrities to go into this either. Selling thoughts is about as easy as making books sexy. I don't think that either really will be done.

With the right slogan, we could. 'We'll do the thinking so you don't have to' or summat.

Books aren't sexy? When did this happen?

Lemme see, since....

*Movies

*Television

*Video

*Internet and video games

It's a tragedy (I mean that)....

Think of how many thoughts there are, hovering around the atmosphere, just waiting to be harvested before they float off to other areas of the universe, or impregnate themselves in someone else's mind...so many squandered thoughts. I so rarely write mine down... how many interesting thoughts do we think, only to allow them to disappear into the ethos?

Darn. Well, I'll maintain that people reading books are sexy.

The problem with stupid or thoughtless people is that they don't tend to acknowledge good ideas.

I write all the time. I read. I couldn't care much less that most people don't care. That's them. This is me. Long live philosophy!

Ok...we can sign you up for factory work then?

I've been thinking about this more...the great thing about philosophers is that they're re-usable...we can squeeze all the thoughts out of them, then send them to go read more books, so that they can produce more thoughts....kinda of like human sponges.

Squeezing something out of eggheads... I have visions of a battery hen environment. very appropriate.

I am honored, although no squeezing is needed, and people that read all the time might be only regurgitating other people's thoughts, but I can think for myself without needing books, although I have read many, so what about this for a long sentence, I even managed to end with question mark, or did I, actually I did but then I blew it, so close!

I like to read, and I believe books can be sexy; therefore, I am sexy?

Philosophize...
