>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 28 16:21:18 2011 No.1592163 >>1592158 Good point on the Karate Kid. But remember you have to watch the sequels, and seriously meditate on the substance of the Jack Chan version.

i lol'd but no, bro.

showing paradoxes doesn't necessarily mean circular logic. or does it? if so, explain. i kind of feel why you said that, but i can't imagine every example being a case for it.

i would say op needs to go to school and get the desired degree and get a teaching certificate. shabam. there you go. its not magic.

>>	Anonymous Mon Feb 28 16:26:18 2011 No.1592183 OP here I already have a regular philosophy BA but I dont think eastern phil is very popular in the west... Might be teaching english in Asia for a couple years I dunno what to do

teaching english in asia is a great idea. the job is in reasonably high demand in korea and china for sure. had friends who taught in both places. and you don't need to speak anything but english.

i'm sure there are philosophy departments in some schools with eastern phi. courses. they need teachers too.
