Philosphy: What Are Your Beliefs/ideology?

[houndjock]

I'm agnostic. Whether there's a God or not is of no concern to me. I believe that doing good or helping others does not need a concept of reward (heaven) or punishment (hell). We can all be humane just by being so.

The belief in ZEN

Good exists because there's evil.

On the one hand, what little about philosophy I've read is really interesting. On the other, I think philosophy, like theology, is a subject universities forgot to STOP teaching 200 years ago.

I'm wondering why those 1st world countries, like the UK, USA, Germany, Japan, Singapore, France are ones giving so much emphasis on Philosophy? Whereas, look at this very poor country, the Philippines -- only their top schools offer Philosophy. Are you wondering why we have the most stupid voters in the world?

Remember, the world's top technological university, MIT, is also one of the best Philosophy schools in the world. Almost half of Harvard Philo professors finished their PhD Philo (Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy) at MIT.

Right now? Find out whether or not a person voted for Marcos Jr. A little creative questioning will work. For those who are guilty, DON'T DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. Teach them something useful

2. Lend them money

3. Extend to them any kind of help

4. Hire them

5. Train them

6. Promote them

7. Do business with them.

Assuming your basic premises are correct, it simply means developed countries give emphasis to all fields of knowledge. You don't have to single out philosophy. The fact that our educational system isn't quite up to the standards of those countries doesn't prove we have the most stupid voters in the world. Think of the contingencies: If those 31 million studied philosophy, would they still have voted for b0b0ng Narcos? Weird to think about, right?

And what's anyone's interest in just one school (MIT) having philosophy teachers who happen to have PhDs in philosophy?

Philosophy is lived, having a PhD in it is of no use except to make up nonsense like communism and woke things. It's better to be poor and realistic than being in pseudo philosophies the west make up and ruin the society 

[Edmund Dantes]

Money is artificial. It is important, you should try to make as much of it, but at the end of the day, it is artificial. It entertains you but it will not buy you happiness.

I went through severe depression which nearly killed me. But this is the most important lesson I have learned through this very dark phase in my life.

At that time, I was splurging on anything I fancied. I was spending money on expensive restaurant even though I would later threw up what I ate because my digestive system was not working properly. I bought and expensive watch which is now just sitting in my closet (I haven't used it really).

It was then that I realized, that while money was entertaining me, the constant chest pain was still there. I could have received a vault full of cash and I would still feel that awful each morning. In fact, I would have given every cent I have if it meant for 5 minutes I did not feel the way I did.

It took really a while for me to get out of that abyss. After this, I started trying to serve a purpose higher than myself.  I continued with my profession not so much aiming for monetary reward, but rather focusing on just giving it the best I could.
