Why are people disagreeing with you? ITS A ******* /tv/ MEME U ****** PLEBS IF I TOOK THE FROG AND ADDED A MANGO FACE TO IT WOULD IT BE A /a/ MEME?? NOOO U *********
Ah so you think memes are your ally.
But you merely adopted to the memes. I was born in them, molded by them.
I didn't see a grill until I was already a man and by then it was nothing to me but awkward.
Holy **** that's some good **** .
My main problem with the idea though is it involveds what even prisoners would recognize as immense physical pain. As far as I know pain has a negative impact on the body and brain (and mind?) in such a direct way that a person can instantly recognize it.
While reaction time doesn't always permit you to let go of a hot pan the instant you feel the pain you understand with relatively quick speed that you are being hurt and should stop.
After living their lives with this pain, they would become freed and turn around to discover an extremely bright flame and a new form a pain. And yet they begin to work through the pain to learn more about what is causing this pain. It seems like a very mixed allegory.
Also "being able to recall the shadows presented before them and their patterns" sounds like TV trivia to me. Awwwww **** .
I once made a funny post about differences between Aquinas' and Kierkegaard's views on connection of god and morality, but I didn't get a single upvote.
Maybe theological philosophy isn't funny...
Schopenhauer is best to go through after you read Kant, their views clash in almost every way, and Schopenhauer managed to put in some badass verbal beatdowns on Kant.
I mean, like, rap battle level beat downs.
Well, I like him overall and read many of his works, but I still haven't gotten the will. Personally, if I had to pick a favourite, Aphorisms would be the one.
I don't know where to start though, I just read whatever interests me.

At BEST you might be able to argue that the original argument was socrates but since his ass never wrote it down he left it to Plato (his student) to do it for him. Plato is credited with the cave allegory because he's the one that wrote it. Doing so in the form of a discussion with his mentor Socrates in which Socrates was the speaker, discussion the nature of the relationship between "forms" and "Reality" and how what some may view as reality may not be true as more enlightened individuals know it. And he uses the allegory of the cave to illustrate it.
So The Cave Allegory is actually Plato...writing about Socrates... talking about the understanding of reality....by using a cave metaphor.
I'm currently studying philosophy and criticism in one class .
So right now **** Plato, I like watching shadows. I don't even know what this **** has to do with the career I want.
And how does that help me teach severely disabled children to speak? Philosophy is ok for understanding typical people, but not severe autism.
I'm speaking from a personal point of view by the way, not in general. I'm paying to go to university and I couldn't take one module I needed because this took it's place and the teacher already made it clear its near impossible to get a 1:1 in it unless you fob off all the other wok you have to do.
wait why are you taking philosophy classes if you are trying to teach severely disabled children how to speak.
There must be better courses than philosphy classes for that : (.
Philosophy is Gen. Ed. nowadays. It's useful, but arguably over-saturated. It helps build you up as a person and helps you understand epistemology and such, but when more than one or two classes have a major section for it outside of major, it's a bit much.
