What the FUCK do you retards have against Metaphysics? Why is it that wherever I go, whatever philosophy book I read, and whatever thread I decide to explore, metaphysical questions are simply glossed over and dismissed as something not worth anyone's time?

I suppose it's too much to ask from stunted degenerates to at least acknowledge that metaphysical questions are the most important kinds of questions. Not only do they underlie everything we see and do as well as all of our scientific theories, but the simple act of pondering them allows us to transcend the absolutely worthless position of denying they're meaningful, or perhaps even worse, ignorance when it comes to the act of posing them.

Plato was right, anyone who denies that Metaphysics is the most important branch of Philosophy is someone who doesn't deserve to be here to espouse such an opinion at all. To understand the underlying nature of the world is to understand and come to terms with the goal Philosophy sets out for itself in the first place and if you try to deny it then go blow your brains out
