Modern Philosophy

Philosophers are useless.

Think about it. Have you ever met a philosopher? Not a philosophy teacher, but a true, honest to God philosopher.

I'm guessing you haven't.

You've never had this conversation before:
You-"What do you do for a living?"
Him-"I'm a philosopher."
You-"Do you get dental with that?"

There's a good reason you've never met a philosopher before. Because they're outdated. No one wants to sit around and be told how they're living their life the wrong way. Well, except for Catholics.

Yet there is no lack of philosophy out in the world today. But now it's masquerading in a more entertaining form.

Comedy.

Comedians are the modern philosophers. I've never had my life changed by someone spouting philosophy, but have had my views changed by a man behind a microphone. By making people laugh at society, comedians point out the cracks in our lives, and do it in a way that is far more accessible than a lecture hall.

So laugh at the clowns. But listen to what they say, because it might just change your life.


And the word of the day is:
