@Leo Gura You misread me. I didn't mean that some identities are inherently closer and others are not. I meant that you see people's beliefs and reactions early on, although it's quite painful and traumatic.

@Something Funny Being LGBTQ+ brings you closer to truth.

Brainwashing Kids! You most likely wouldn't be a Christian if you weren't exposed to it as a kid. Think about that.

Or a demon.

Have you thought about that maybe heteronormative lifestyles are being promoted to kids? She wasn't trans. 😅

A rule of thumb: If you think you know Leo, think again. 😁

Maybe people need to think a bit and not confuse mental masturbation with thinking/contemplating.

@questionreality Good questions. I wasn't trying to shut you up. You were writing as if biology has always been obvious, and it's been the same for decades. For example, what you know about numbers is different than what you know about them today.

@questionreality From where did you get the biology and the basic fundamentals, may I ask?

I think, a human kangaroo. Well, you would have the previous experience of a human with the body of a kangaroo, which will change how you perceive the outside world. If we assume we can really put a human brain in a kangaroo skull. We would have to put it in a way that the brain is connected to the body, like how kangaroo brains are.

@Bobby_2021 If you say that psychology is predominantly dependent on biology, then why do trans people want to change their body parts?

@NightHawkBuzz Do you know what is one of the most important factors for why Christianity continues to exist?

What's the difference between studying philosophy at university and by yourself? What are the differences between online studying and going to a university? Can I call myself a philosopher if I don't have a degree but I think/contemplate most of the time about life/reality on my own? At a young age, I've decided to not pursue philosophy at university because I thought that I wouldn't get a job; they are too strict; I wouldn't be able to think/contemplate freely about stuff. For me, the internet has been a wonderful tool to freely explore, even university-level stuff. However, it would be helpful to know what I'm missing by not going there.

@ICURBlessings Hi. Great post! I have never heard of that term before. For example, I've been teaching myself to play the piano without relying on traditional methods to the point that I can learn by hearing and I'm discovering things that are or could be already out there. I'm often shocked that people don't fact-check.

@Nilsi Well, I didn't think to go there. But maybe when situation changes. Cool video. It was personal at some point.

I'm old and young at the same time. 😁 But I ain't rich. I'm also thinking of visiting cities and just walking around and going to places, maybe relatively cheep restaurants, cafes, and shops. Also, places that are open landscapes or forests.

@nerdspeak I understand. They are surviving as well. However, I wouldn't go to any other university where I'm from because they are so lost in groupthink.

In the first year of university, I saw how much dogmatic and close-minded most of the professors can get. Mine was more of a Soviet-style university, which is still being modernized.

Idk, it doesn't feel right, as I could be misrepresenting myself. I have also had an employer who had a degree in philosophy. He was annoying as he was giving a know-it-all vibe. 😂 But, Idk.

@Leo Gura I think a good question would be: Have the things you learned at the university for philosophy, which couldn't be learned elsewhere—like technical rigor—had a significant impact on how you think today?

@DocWatts Thanks.

@nerdspeak Thanks for the info. I'll look into the things you provided me.

I walk like a psycho while doing it. But your teachings were a catalyst for me. I never could have imagined how good I could get. So, thanks! I love Claude AI.

@Leo Gura I just love understanding, especially when I do think from scratch. I don't want to be in some position, but we were all kind of relying on them, idk. Is it possible to learn thinking/contemplating deeply without going to a university to study philosophy?

Ok. I have listened some of their lectures. I know other platforms as well that aren't entertaining like the one you mentioned. Do you recommend physically going to a university? Is it too much different from studying online?
