Philosophy, by the way, is not about saying “I don’t believe that” and it sure isn’t about saying “I don’t see/can’t see… how … is..” Philosophy is that incredulity, which says to your beliefs not, “you are wrong”, but “how is it that you function?” It’s not a matter of if your beliefs are or are not ‘foundational’ or ‘supported’, or ‘right’, but how your beliefs are destroying or building yourself, another person, another society.
Now, go ahead and say I’m wrong, but please do so in an original way.
