Do philosophers over-think?

Are we meant or built to?

Is this what makes more of a philosopher and less of a man?

Are somethings better off unasked?

Is there an answer to everything?

And if so does it still need asking?

Are not men already answered?

hello sometime-
all's i know is, the people in my life that have been the most happy never really thought about anything but what they were doing at the time. sometimes they werent very good people, and sometimes bad but not too bad-in other words, especially mediocre in my own humble judgment or evaluation of them as human beings, which i know i have no right to do but how is it possible not to?

people who think and question usually end up doing some very wonderful and awesome things or some really horrible macabre things. or so it seems to me...

and people who never think or question dont seem to commit suicide...or murder. on the other hand, they do start forest fires...house fires and restaurant kitchen grease fires and so on...but the main difference is-they are the happy ones.

Do philosophers over-think?

[CENTER]How can you over-think ? I see more a problem in the restictions they put on their thinking. Scientific phylosophy should be a sub-branche, far away from Free Thinking. How to think something new based on christian-capitalist basis ?

Is this what makes a philosopher more of a man and less of a woman?

[CENTER] Is there an answer to everything?
No, there will be all-ways more Questions.

Yes it is over thought, answers are sought that cannot be ,so men argue and grow to love the arguement, takes their minds off the fear, of not knowing, of falling, of taking the leap, it is we who must answer, yes or no

very beautifully put

Only, is it true?

does it matter?

actually i think it is for the most part-but i thought it was so beautifully put that it really never occurred to me to think about its right/wrong value. even if i were to disagree i would attest to its beauty of form.

Free yourself from conditioning. Go to the hairdresser !

Now any account that just starts from the ideas, rather than the conditions in which those ideas were thought, must assume it's just coincidence that in Athens there seemed to be loads of clever blokes working out why we exist. Or it was one of those crazes that just come and go for no apparent reason. And for some reason, at some point between now and then, Greeks presumably just went off philosophy, and just took up being barbers instead. And I suppose somewhere around 800 A.D. there was a crossover point, where you'd be having your hair cut and the barber would say, "Is you on the day off today, sir? Then you lucky, for if you is a soul, you never have a day off, for is immortal, innit?"

But my hairdresser does do conditioning - and not for free, either.

On hairdressers, philosophy, and social conditioning, here is Mark Steel, from his 'lecture' on Aristotle:
