It's World Philosophy Day!

bunnynico:

For real.  Let us contemplate this. Here are four questions to make your brain hurt.

This reminds me of the following from the introduction of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, which could serve as one of those very useful rules on good writing: “What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.”

I’m embarrassed being caught unaware that it’s already the third Thursday of November; this year’s theme - “Power and Rights.” Despite seeming ridiculous on the face, going through each question and articulating positions can be wonderfully, constructively frustrating.
