And so you see,
You do not need,
A PHD
to be
An Authentic Philosopher!
Now feel free at parties to proclaim with confidence that you are a real philosopher on an equal footing with even the most well known and celebrated philosophers.
The reason I tell you this -- because it is the greatest gift of all to use your mind. Terrible thing to waste. Yes. Yes I know. Well let us continue. How could I become a REAL Educumated Bonerfied *Philosopher* WITH Groundbreaking Ideas from outside of the Academic pool in knowledge. For if you were in that pool of knowledge, the purity of your groundbreaking ideas would be in question... That is why there has been no solid, groundbreaking ideas for so long... It's because Academia has sealed its ears to the inner workings of the greatest unrecognized genius of the world -- that being -- non-Academics.
So here is the solution.
I walk into the University. I try to find someone to "claims to be" a philosopher. Can you imagine this on TV! Haha... So I'm hunting for a philosopher now...
"Yes, sir... I'm trying to find a philosopher. I have to ask him something and I will pay any amount of money that he requires for his time and services as a philosopher! I am in great need!"
"Ok sir, Calm down... I think I can help you, I'm a philosopher... What do you need?"
"Sir I need to tell you that I am a philosopher also, but nobody recognizes me as such -- not my peers -- my other "thinking friends" ... who of course I hold in such high esteem -- because I am an esteemed thinker of esteemed things and one of the esteemed things that I think of is how I esteem my esteemed Edumacated Philosopher friends."
"Ok sir that sounds reasonable. Continue..."
"Now I want you guys to accept a paper by me... My proclamation for the explanation of the universe -- in clear terms that any human could put into reason... And I mean the whooooole damn universe -- I will find every argument and counter argument that ever was put down on paper by any educumated man..."
"Ok... Wow what a paper that would be... (dull tone, but impressed he was) Well How about this... You give me the summary details so I can make a personal judgement on the quality of your thinking... And then if I approve of you -- we can have a conference -- you can give a presentation to the faculty of our school here -- and then we can all exchange thoughts as to the validity of the importance of your thinking and perhaps if we will continue to push forth your ideas so that these ideas are in the universal collection of work that we recognize. Yes yes, that's how it always happens
Just dones't happen so often, so the process has never really been recognized until now eh?"
"Exactly. You got it buddy... Gooood thinking!".
