Not the anon you're replying to. Here's my 2 cents anyway

While a thinker can be any mundane author who writes in an abstract framework of ideas without necessarily believing in Truth, a philosopher is one who makes his ideas publicly known and engages with his ideas in the real world (reflects it in his behavior, in his dealings with other people who may also be philosophers). Ideally he also carries his ideas to their logical extreme to show the full potential of his philosophy for getting us closer to the Truth

This is why I personally disagree with the academic use of the term "philosopher" to describe thinkers who get published in scientific-sounding papers rather than those who write non-fiction in the established philosophical tradition of seeking after wisdom

My dad writes them and its a vast amount of sophistry. If you want to know how to live your life just live it, jesus fuck. If you really need someone to tell you how to live your life read psych journals and philosophy pre-1950s

Why is always René Descartes who says give her the Dick? Wouldn't a solipsist prefer his fantasy and hand to the supposedly real body of a supposedly real girl?
