>every year several thousands of people in the US are awarded degrees in philosophy
Am I not getting something here? Now, don't get me wrong, we need philosophers but I thought we could make do with, say, five philosophers a year? Is there some important reason we need thousands of philosophers every year?

We don't need any philosophers. Philosophy turned into pseudoscientific gibberish with no applications in the 20th century and will never get better.

Philosophy we "need" is not philosophy, it's political science or natural science or sociology or logic or something else. What's left is the stuff we don't need (the philosophy journals that not even philosophers read).
>>
>>9615955
graduating with a philosophy degree doesn't make you a philosopher. Getting a phd in philosophy doesn't even make you a philosopher. There probably are only five philosophers, give or take.
>>
>>9615955
No, we really don't need that many. Unfortunately, most of them are graduating from shitty, third-rate programs as well. They go on to make the discipline look bad by spewing obscurantist twaddle, much like the desperate lawyers who graduated from shitty law schools and have given the U.S. it's lawsuit problem.

Now I think we could probably do with a few more than five new philosophers being minted every year. Maybe 100, all from elite programs. I'm assuming you were being somewhat facetious with that remark, though.

"I do not see that computers are bringing us one step nearer to anything that does matter ot me: peace, economic justice, ecological health, political honesty, family and community stability, good...I am a luddite." - Wendell Berry, poet

Was he right? Any other good luddite writers? I like Pynchon, Kirkpatrick Sale, Jacques Ellul.

No. He's a "fire scary and thomas edison is a witch" dipshit, apparently.

The ability to communicate has it's downsides, yes, but it's overall very positive. We have easier access to information, injustices are harder to cover up, and family, separated by circumstance and geography can still enjoy intimate relationships. It's easier to spontaneously meet up with friends, buy things for work, people with disabilities have their lives made easier, etc, etc, etc...

fuck off.

>>9615766
I think that computers are bringing us closer to peace. It's harder to support one's government bombing some other country when you are directly acquainted with that country's citizens over the Internet. Computers have also made it easier to spread information, thereby helping political honesty to some extent.

Religion is not fashion. You don't pick one to adorn your existing one-man-cult-of-self.

Talking about it like this is embarrassing, especially for you.
>>
>>9615753
He's right though. As much as I respect Catholics, they're really the ones adorning their cult of self with the idea that Peter somehow gives them the monopoly and no matter how much evolution the shove down people's throats it's still all approved by Peter and therefore Jesus.

This is some next level /lit/:

>A Brazilian student has mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a locked room covered in encrypted texts, 14 handwritten books and a massive statue of occultist Giordano Bruno.

>Bruno Borges, a 24-year-old student from Brazil, reportedly vanished on March 27th after completing a secretive project consisting of thousands of pages of encrypted texts combined with mysterious symbols. Along with references to the Bible, alchemy, demonology and Leonardo da Vinci, Borges left a bizarre painting of him with an alien – prompting some people to conclude that he was … abducted by aliens.

>Borges was reportedly asking people to invest in his secretive project without disclosing any information about it. He told his mother he was writing 14 books that would change humanity in a good way. After receiving $6500 (R$20.000) from his cousin, he was able to finish his project.

>Here are pictures of this mysterious room.
