    I mean why am I even entertaining you? You understand that a bigger economy does not equal a better standard of living, and that immigrants lower wages and drive up living costs. You're just being a cunt because you're yellow. Get the fuck out of here §m£ÂgØL.

    Lol.

    Switzerland #9

    America #11

    Also note where I clarified it was 'financial quality of life'. There are obviously many factors. Doesn't make GDP a worthless number unless you think purchasing power is a useless statistic.

    I'm not yellow, I just speak multiple languages.

    Originally posted by gadzooks That fundamental and abstract thinking is the source of modern day physical sciences.

    It might sound obvious now (because of hindsight bias), but they really did come up with the idea that material is constructed of atomic units, paving the way for chemistry, and Aristotle wrote a bunch of books about laws of physics (now mostly discredited, admittedly, but who else was sitting around positing laws of motion in Ancient Greece? most people were preoccupied with raising their cattle and tending to their farms).

    Those fundamental thoughts were around before the philosophers were, and would've been around long after had they not existed.

    Aristotle and other philosophers who actually science'd are a little different. Nigga had formulas, not just thoughts. He was a scientist before it was cool to be one, though I guess if you break it down, all scientists are fundamentally philosophers.

    This is an admittedly good point, though bad borders are obviously not the only way the west fucked up Africa.

    Originally posted by Odigo Messenger - Now With Free 911 Service You can't explain why I'm wrong.

    You didn't make a statement, so you can't be wrong, you just asked a tremendously dumb question.

    A higher GDP means we've got more money being thrown around. People are making more, they're spending more, and more people are employed. Look at GDP at purchasing power per capita and you'll see basically a direct application of GDP to quality of life. At least financially speaking.

    NOMINAL GDP is kinda useless. You could have a country of 100 where one dude is managing to hit 10 trillion GDP by himself, and the other 99 are just peasant slaves making 2c an hour.

    But if you mean in terms of their ideas, I'd care to hear your elaborations?

    They advanced Western thinking with incredible haste.

    Do you really think they 'advanced western thinking?'

    Because I think philosophers have played an incredibly minimal role in the developing of humanity. Philosophy is very important. Philosophers are not.

    I feel the most important change in advancing western thinking has been communication. Look at how news of morphine addiction spread RAPIDLY after the invention/adaptation of the telegram in the mid 1800's. It happened quickly that states started passing legislation on various drugs, and then of course the narcotics act wiped that all away, but it's crazy to think that before then people didn't really demonize drug use in the same way.

    Then of course in the 30's and 60's there are some major movements and discussions on drug use that have shaped western society to this day. These were largely facilitated by movies, radio, music, etc.

    When has a philosopher ever swayed public opinion? If anything, they seem to be more a product of the times. I feel like philosophy doesn't really get interesting until descartes and humes and all of them come around. It starts becoming more practical and applicable to real life. Probably a better way to word it but I hate getting meta with philosophy. Early philosophers feel so disconnected and fundamental and abstract. Like the type of shit you think of as a teenager. I think scientific understanding has done wonders for philosophy, personally.

    Holy shit. You're retarded.

    speaking of, have you been able to verify whether she actually followed through?

    Nothing has popped up online. I'd bet money she's alive.

    I wonder if your penis can get stuck to the ring in extreme cold. Might be something to consider. The penis tip of a runner is a cold tip

    I forget if you still have the ring or not, but if you do - lol

    Originally posted by POLECAT Bear is better tho

    I sincerely doubt that. Carnivore meat sucks. Acidic and very lean. Have never had any I enjoyed, and I've had bear. alliGAYtor and snake is definitely better, but its all shit meat. I'm sure you could cook it well and all, but why bother when there's beef and venison?

    Originally posted by gadzooks Actually, since the days of Plato, there was a rigorous curriculum in place, with accolades and nominative titles of respect given to graduates.

    But you do raise a good point that it always wasnt quite as formal as it is now.

    Socrates certainly didn't enroll in Philosophy 101 only to be stuck sitting next Diogenes of Sinope, known for his lack of hygiene.

    They were all kind of shitty philosophers tbh.
