You make many valid points, society really does not so many philosophers. And I don't think anyone wants someone to tell them how life is and how life should be, they are too scared to face the truth, so they get defensive in situations like this. I don't expect to get paid or even to get a job. I just like doing what I do.

Not everyone who lifts is appealing, and not all of lifting produces same results for every person. It can't be set as a rule that always exists. Lifting is everything for someone and nothing but useless stuff for the other one. And the bodies produced by lifting and their appearance varies a lot. Lifting is a hobby, a life, or a path to self-discipline. It surely is a journey and I think it's a beautiful one. many things can be learned about oneself with lifting.

No, I don't think anyone really looks forward to a hard life, but sometimes the hard way is the only way it can go. I find being poor spiritually and not being a stable person is far worse than being poor financially. I don't fear death and when it comes I'll welcome it. I believe with death many questions will be answered, or I will simply cease to exist. I'm willing to take that chance and if being unemployed brings me closer to the answers, I guess it's not that bad.

Not necessary, if you study philosophy you will have to read a lot of books and most likely will find joy in reading them. You can teach like you said, you can work in a library or anything similar to that, anything that operates with books. You should be very literate and if a bit talented you could get a job at a newspaper company to write columns for them, or you can simply be a genius and write your own book, and teach very advance stuff to other professors(not likely to happen).

Why should I add to the reputation of the GregariousWolf who created a thread asking MISCers to ask him questions due to the fact that he is studying philosophy?

To experience this "feel" is very unlikely, if I force myself to think the person as fiction, a product of my mind, I need to put away emotions and operate simply with reason to comprehend such possibility. So really there is no "feel", there's just doubt and this doubt is not useful nor harmful in particular. To be at such level of doubt and constant thinking you have to be really smart or weird. It also takes a lot of concentration.
What's the feel when you see a guy in the movie, but it's not the guy in the movie, its just pictures of him? You still consider him a real person, as do I with everyone else in real life. If you stop to think in the movies you know he's not real, at least not on the screen, but I doubt you would think about that during a movie and if you did, you would maintain that thought for about 10 seconds and then forget it and pretend it's real again.

If the thread has helped you in any way, be it amusement or revelation. And you think you are going to feel better by adding reputation to said miscer, then you should do it. If it makes you feel good, do it. If you think it doesn't make any sense to add pixels to his online persona, then don't do it. I hope that helps.

Depends how you look at it, they are both made from the same materials, basic elements of chemistry, hydrogen, oxygen. And from an abstract point of view, they are both simple substances capable of being existent on their own. I cannot answer you for sure, it could be both ways. The first axiom of logic is : a certain thing is always identical to itself in the same time, context, "world". So by that rule, Jesus is in fact Jesus, whether Jesus is table or table is Jesus, remains a mystery to this day.

SRS gjdm
most people find a steady decent income job and learn to hate their lives for the rest of their days because they arent contributing or doing what they love
philosophers improve life more than any lawyer yet get paid an 1/8th they do
society tells u to get a full time job for ok money, raise kids, teach them to do the same. and people wonder why there are so many depressed people in this country

What will you do in Grad school? Because you will absolutely have to do something else after you graduate.
