Philosofy and deep talk is a hobby, really. And not everybody likes all hobbies..I mean, I hate to talk about football/soccer or something aswell |

I was wondering if ya'll have a similar experience to mine that when you try to talk to friends about philosophy and extreme "truths," they tend to shy away or seem disinterested. The one way I put it in the argument is to disguise it in topics they like. I have just one friend who really likes to discuss it a lot, and I love her a lot for it! |

Yeah, I know what you mean, Rick. it seems like almost all of people I know are just so...shallow. Dear god, no wonder Reality TV and Springer have had such a grip on the masses. |

You only take it too seriously when it becomes a burden for you Philosofy really is a hobby to me (an awesome one at that) and not a way of living. True spirituality (which philosofy often results in, at least for me) has very little to do with deep thinking, I believe. |

Alot of this has to do with the fact that many people hold dogmatic personal beliefs that they have no justification for and they feel uncomfortable discussing them or alternitives when they have no way to defend them. I do realize that not everyone is going to be a philosopher simply because it is a hobby, but people should at least have well formed views on most of the philisophic questions, the problem is that our society is largely anti-intellectual and views philosophy as something for those "stupid smart people". |

It sometimes is like a verse in the bible. I could look it up but I'm too tired .It says,” A profit is least respected in his own town" That is to say around people that know you. You get better results talking to a complete stranger. Unless of course they have a problem with using there imagination or something. Like mister Bean says, "That’s what I think" |
