I'm still blown away at how upset you guys are by us. Would it be vain to think you're jealous of our transcendental mind-powers? "German idealism... what about, like, the starving children in Palestine man." You are self-parody.

Anyone who doesn't recognize 'useless knowledge' as an echo of the Philebus is a pseud. These are the sort of anons who try to pick a fight with the idealists. I do not have my Plato with me but you could just google it. "Useless knowledge... that's NIHILISM!" And then you're (the indefinite you you literalist faggot) quoting Aristotle when one of his main points is that some things cannot be 'for' anything else, and speculative science is one of these things. I know exactly what happens though: you see that we know about something you don't; anything you don't know about must be pointless; so you come in and try to start fights about nothing, without any awareness of what you're attacking. What would Fichte say?
"Common opinion is that philosophy is inborn in man; and hence every one considers himself justified in discussing philosophical matters. How it may be with this inborn philosophy I shall not now investigate; suffice it to say, that my philosophy, which I surely ought to know better than any one, is not inborn, but must be acquired, learned; and can be judged only by those who have learned it."
And then you will think, "Well if it's not extremely simple it's probably just bullshit! Who are these assholes studying for the sake of studying! It's horrible! They're probably fat or something! I don't need this I've read the Metaphysics a couple of times! Why would anyone learn for the sake of learning! There's probably nothing there worth knowing at all! Ahahaha! Tarte a la creme! Tarte a la creme! Tarte a la creme! HA HA HA! TARTE A LA CREME! TARTE A LA CREME!" My forays onto this forum have helped me sympathize with Fichte's hatred for the so-called 'reading public'. Next up: an anon will quote NE 10 and insist it's about a mystickal experience which he hopes he will get to have himself in a few months by half-assed reading of a few books of the Stagyrite.
