OP you ask a brilliant, brilliant question.

But you miss a key aspect.

You see, have you ever asked yourself what the POINT of philosophizing is? Have you ever pondered the question of WHY all these elementary particulars in the unit of sociological fracture DECIDE to conglomerate?

Start there, OP. And you'll find your answer. You're a bright, bright chap, in fact I've got a bit of a boner while writing this. I know you'll find a way.

the point of philosophising is to waste time thinking about irrelevant details. if philosophers actually wanted to live a good life, like they claim, they'd go outside instead of burying themselves in tomes and jerking each other off with big words.
