What are some nice places to discuss philosophy? I have been on the biggest discord servers one could be - such as the Politics server [here is the link for those which are ignorant of the server: https://discord.gg/politics] -, but I feel like this medium has plateaued in the sense of what I could learn. You can find a lot of college educated people in the server, and thus the conversations are better than average, but I feel like most of their acts of speech are backed up by post hoc rationalizations of snippets of text they got from a random article on JSTOR when they are asked for evidence.

Is there a place where I can converse with people that actually read and like reading? By reading I mean those which actually read books, articles, essays, that is, things that one can derive technical or rigorous perspectives.

The medium of conversating can be by text or voice. I would just like to clear my thoughts by having people to talk to who could correct my misunderstandings and recommend literature.

Many thanks

I have a job and other duties. I don't have time to go down to my local faculty of philosophy and arrange myself philosopher friends.

And I am a former public defender who now works for a federal LE agency. We’re not the same. Plus, you’re not a real attorney. Only trial attorneys are real attorneys.

It is beyond me why would anyone claim to be a former defense attorney - for those outside of the legal field: only barely qualified people would go for this type of job, as in, you really fucked in law school. In this regard, it makes your professional option of ceasing to be an attorney.

Furthermore, I don't intend to play the game of "who's the real attorney"; money today is in drafting legal opinions and in providing legal consults, or even in arbitration.

Anyhow, you are thirty but you think like a child. You perceive these websites as clans at war rather than tools for your own satisfaction. You participate in internet "clubbism" as if you were a teenager facing an identity crisis. Sad and pathetic.

Yeah, this is just pure cope. Everything else is you just whining like a pseudointellectual toddler that you are.

In this regard, it makes your professional option of ceasing to be an attorney understandable. For instance, let's see how much a public defender makes:

>For example, the median entry-level salary for public defenders is $47,500; $60,300 for attorneys with five years of experience; and just over $76,000 for those with 11-15 years experience.

Now let's see how much the average tax attorney makes:

>The average salary of a tax attorney is $120,910 per year, according to the BLS. Salaries in the law field range from $58,220 to $208,000.

I had about as many jury trials in one year that you will never have in your entire life being a little tax bitch. But, I guess money is everything when you could not go to law school debt free. Regardless, thanks for reminding the world how pathetic and parasitic your kind is.

As an addendum to this post I'm posting the median salary of a high school teacher in the US. So basically, you fucked up so much in law school that you basically made the same as a school teacher ...

So let's see, an high school teacher is only required to be have a bachelor - four years. Thus, four years in college allows this person to make around $62,870 depending on the circumstances. However, you had to go for an undergrad and that means an additional of 3 (three) years. Therefore, 7 (seven) years in total to make below the median salary of a high school teacher. Remember, you're are 30 years old so that puts in the $47,500 range.

Let's recap: you spent 7 years in college to make around 50k and to feel pride in going to court.

>>20586715
Okay ... ? People attain jobs for finance purposes. You think that I respect you more because you go to court more than I do? Sure, little man. Go to court. Make a miserable salary. I hope your "real attorney-ness" pays for your kids college tuition.

"[...] As an “attorney,” your inferences are tenuous, about as insightful as listening to a 1L make a policy argument. [...]"

I feel like it's easier to copy and paste your affirmation as response to you since you didn't specify what exactly was unsound or incorrect or invalid in my abductive arguments.
