And the war is on as online philosophers battle it out on the net
The exchange of free thought has always been an intriguing thing to any one who has a philosophical mind. But being able to have “so called” wisdom and knowledge to differentiate a fact from a fallacy from a statement seems to be the machismo way for these self professed philosophers who are gradually making their scene in the World Wide Web. While philosophy simply means “love or pursuit of wisdom” and that is what a true philosopher would be doing, now a days people rationalizing and bashing each others beliefs online are now considered, would you believe, being a philosopher! Well, that is at least what they have led to believe themselves to.
Post an innocuous comment on youtube or facebook, and you’ll often see people leaving their own comment in response to yours, analyzing and ultimately making your idea sound pathetic and semantically dissecting your comment as if I had to say some thing that may destroy world peace! I’m telling you, these people are freaking me out, it’s there’s like a batch of unemployed philosophy students who are suddenly invading the internet.
I left a comment once on an article about how important mobile phone insurance is if you are planning to buy a new mobile phone, and just after two days, some one left a lengthy comment about the horrors of insurance and why most of the big insurance companies are part of the Bilderberg group who are out for new world order and reasons why if you get any form of insurance is considered blasphemy because you are putting your trust on a piece of paper and not God any more. I simply think that if anybody feels this guy’s rationalization is sane, they may also have to see Dr. Phil one of these days.
I believe in God and when I got my iPhone and bought mobile insurance with it, that doesn’t mean I’m not trusting God at all. I have read some verses of the Bible and it says there somewhere that “we do not know what shall happen tomorrow,” so if that is God’s words talking there, then when I get life insurance, house insurance, phone insurance, or any form of financial protection it only means I believe what God said that I don’t know what may happen tomorrow, which is the nearest future, so I’m protecting my family from financial distress.
Personally, I think this trend of being online the whole day and waiting for a comment they can kill with mindless reasoning are done by sick people who need help. I just hope somebody will put a stop to it and ban these humanoids from any type of social networking site for good.
