Let's be honest for a second. Men are out here -- thinking, breathing, capable of creating and building and asking the big questions about life -- and a huge chunk of us are absolutely fixated on someone's behind. Not in a poetic way. Literally. A body part whose whole job, biologically speaking, is to get rid of waste. Out of everything. That. And the concerning part is nobody really stops to ask why. We just accept it and joke about it because "it's human". Or maybe we're just cowards. Is it solely biological? Is it a distraction from something deeper that we're trying to avoid? Or does it say something more uncomfortable about how we, as men, actually operate? Because if we're being real — we don't know why we're here. We never fully figured that out. And maybe that's exactly the point. Maybe the ass is easier than the answer. So what do you think? Is this just nature? Or a desing flaw?

These are my thoughts on the course "What makes Philosophy important": We need philosophy and I absolutely agree. And It's not taught in school as a general subject, because it probably incentives critical thinking too much. Being able to break down philosophical concepts allows us to break down ANY concept (in my opinion), many famous philosophers were also scientists, mathematicians and artists. Being a philosophers means discussing ideas with others, reflecting on you own worldview, thinking critically of mainstream narrative that the media and school try to convey. I believe that everyone should be a philosopher, yet very few today have the ability to. In ancient Greece, every citizen of Athens HAD TO be literate, informed and intelligent so they are to partake in discussions of judicial matters and town votes. The main message was that we all need to do what we want and for that, we have to first know what we want. And philosophy gives us the chance to immerse fully into that. We do need to be aware of not falling into the nihilistic side, where too much deep thinking sometimes makes you ultra-pessimistic. That's it, thanks for reading

I've seen a lot of people claim that philosophy is a necessity in this modern day and age. But I have yet to see someone give a clear definition of what type of necessity they mean. It's not necessary for survival in the literal sense, so what do we need it for?
