Just do philosophy you idiot. If it were true that philosophy degrees sentenced you to a life of horror, poverty, and doom no one would major in it, yet people do and end up okay. We need people who can think

Yes, I am a virgin. But I'm not really bitter about it, I used to be but not anymore. I don't agree with his essay on women if that's what you're referring to.

Never. He's too old.
