>>5981197>I think one would say that there is always more things to learnIt's not as though I'm opposed to it.
But, for example, in Phaedos I think a lot of the arguments Socrates makes, he wouldn't make if he were aware of things we've learned since his time. So most of the musings don't seem very useful.
Other than that, from the impression I get, a lot of more modern philosophers just stray too far from the kind of perspectives I find interesting.
I find that random commentary by people often really makes me think or reexamine my own views or take another perspective.
>I do think that if you want to discuss things with me, me would be the best way to go about it. I'm always up for discussion! ^-^Usually I get by as a conversationalist by showing an interest other people or the things they like, and then going from there.
A lot of the conversations you get to have with regular people aren't really easy to have or appropriate here.
Plus I guess maybe our interests are too different after all. You never seem to like the threads I make too much either.
Makes things tougher I guess.
