As you've probably guessed by now, there are indeed no sexy pictures of me... only a clever marketing ploy to get you to read this thread.
I'll go Spinoza for a second and give you a defintion and axiom before my propositions.
Defintion 1
VideCorSpoon = This is my spoon.
Why the name?
Axiom
Anything said in Latin sounds profound...and Dante Alighieri (Get it...Vide Cor meum... from La Vita Nueva... its an opera) is my homeboy (or more like my amici since he's italian).
Also, why the skull and crown... All is vanity (google the picture)
Proposition 1
I'm a philosophy/law major Senior at university. I enjoy most topics in philosophy, especially Greek and Indian metaphysics. Anyone have a problem with Aristotle, especially Zeta, send me ring... or more computer equivalent.
Proposition 2
This forum seems very interesting and I hope to hear from many of you, except for you over there... I don't want any messages from you.
Proposition 3
The interesting bit about philosophy I have come to understand over the years is that people tend to over complicate it, like instead of saying "what is substance?" some might instead say "the ontology of being."
Proposition 4
Philosophy is meant for everyone to read and understand, and big words make stupid people sound smart, so I try to avoid that if at all possible. Also, I try to get straight to the point and not fluff my stuff up. I keeps it realzz yo... (thats right... two z's... take that establishment)
Proposition 5
I dont like to argue, only solve the questions... I don't think anyone else would like to read a two page back and forth argument on the etymology of "hypokeimenon"... or maybe????
Proposition 6
Cheers!
@VideCorSpoon,
you seem like a funny guy VideCorSpoon, looking forward to doing some argueing with you
*Edit
And oh yeah: Welcome and Cheers!
@VideCorSpoon,
Welcome aboard, Mr Spoon.
I predict you will keep me busy for some reason...
@Aristoddler,
Upon the previous statement, our hero replies "What? Me? No," chuckling nonsensically.
@VideCorSpoon,
Welcome! I have to say you've got me laughing quite a bit here. Looking forward to some real interesting conversations with you. Glad to have you with us!
@VideCorSpoon,
Yes welcome. I saw that title and just new I had work to do around the forum... thought for sure you were a spammer.
Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy the community here.
