Amateur Ethicists

Philosophy and "thinking" is a profession. Just like medicine. To witness so many amateurs rambling online about politics and ethics is the same as watching one of them bust into a heart surgery and grab a scalpel. "Let me have that, I got this!" It's nothing short of embarrassment even in the cases where they get some parts accidentally right.


Remember, deep discussion or discussion based on deep ideas, regarding politics and ethics, is two of the four pillars of real philosophy. So if you're gonna argue the above, ironically, I suppose, keep this in mind.


And yes, its true. The "Ph" in "PhD" stands for philosophy.
