very interesting video thanks

hey, for you and everybody else, I found this website
blip.tv/philosophy-unveiled
LOL it's not spam, it's some system based on MBTI that Lane Friesen made which explains why philosophical systems differ and how different philosophers perceived the world based on their mental structures...it's certainly interesting if nothing else.

@FeelingFreshSon Yeah man! They ask the relevant questions! lol They can be all emotional too. lol
-
lol nothing gives me a rush like continental philosophy..no matter how much analytic philosophy gets everything cleared up and squared away...continental philosophers will always crawl out of the woodwork to ask hard hitting questions like "what is the purpose of a question" or "do my eyes exist when I blink"

Take that postmodernists!

i have my clearest and most exact thinking while '' high ''

I agree, and It is rather obvious that Russel himself would agree with you to. It can be thoughtless to deduce or infer anything from this video alone for the man mightn't have explained his thinking as clearly as he wishes others to think.

Wow! What an amazingly thoughtless comment! The more we have to infer, the more a comment or line of reasoning is open to misinterpretation. Articulation, clarity and completing the reasoning with its supporting ideas is everything. That's where B.R. comes up very short of the mark.
In many cases, as I have personally observed from Russell's works and statements, is that the brilliance of Russell lies in the honest simplicity of his statements.
People occasionally dismiss these statements due to their simplicity without realizing the profound implications they truly hold.

It seems to me, a fundamental dishonesty, a fundamental treachery to intellectual integrity to hold a belief because you think it's useful, and not because you think it's true." B, Russell, 1959.
