Was my content lacking in excitement or freshness? Or was it a marketing failure? Gotta find that essay I wrote a few years back and post it to see if it draws any interest.
Before I sign off, I'm sure you have been enjoying the Olympics. Are you a Michael Phelps fan, or perhaps a Usain Bolt fan? I understand they had BMX bicycling as an event this year, did you catch that?
Now what if they had philosophy as an Olympic event? How would we score the entrants? I would think part of the score should rest on their personal sense of satisfaction or happiness. Can you imagine, people like, Nietzsche. So much thinking! Sophisticated thinking, and ... very little happiness. Perhaps he should have been a dentist.
Oh, but you say, it's right that he was not happy, there is little to be happy about, and he figured it out! Had he been able to achieve happiness through his thinking that would be evidence only of the ability to create illusion.
Isn't it all an illusion anyway? Did you not study your quantum mechanics in college? If you're going to create something, make it good.
