Yes.

Take me baby!
Let me use the spiked condom!
Sex me sooooo goooooooooood!

Are you just another one of chronamut's alts?

Why do you always see me under that light? You barely put effort into my ideologies. You are always too quick to accuse me of things. Is that not far worse than a delusional, self-proclaimed philosopher? Shutting someone out when they have spent years only trying to reach out to others with a school of thought that they personally think is the very reflection of life itself?

I only try, Yurg.

You and any one else who sees me under that same light you see me under don't try.

At the least I try.

No, you do not get it - thus you would not be making me post this response - so I will elaborate.

I brought it up because I was expressing how I do not care whether someone - or even a God - may see me. I was emphasising the sheer amount of insincerity that lies in the folds of another's subjective perception of me. Regardless if it in a mere human's eyes or an otherwordly being's eyes.

Your mother ass fucks you in the shower. You hide a bag o' severed dicks under your pillow and rub it over your face when you can't sleep. You're an emotional cripple, your soul is dogshit, every single thing about you is ugly.

Now spend the next hour telling me how you don't care.

And if you don't say you don't value my opinion because I told you to, that means you do and think it's all true. If you DO say it, then you bow to my will, slave. In fact, responding means you care, and not responding means its true.

I can play the 'make up my own reality' game, too.

This is coming from a guy who thinks this quote ''Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.'' is true. I could easily say ''Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is a joke.'' Considering that mankind plays pretend. The world doesn't?

You're an obvious troll.
But if you WEREN'T chronamut's alt, I'd tell you that it's because you think yourself as better than everyone else and tell everyone you're the next plato without any real recognition. You really don't have the accolades to call yourself a great philosopher.
You haven't won any awards, aren't noted by anyone yet, and really haven't done anything notable.

I could SAY I'm great at skateboarding and that I'm the next Tony Hawk and brag to people who don't know anything about skateboarding and don't care all I want, but if I never get any RECOGNITION from a legitimate source, it's useless.

It doesn't matter how good you THINK you are, publish your works to a legit source that takes them, and then report back THEN you can call yourself a great philosopher.

but you are a troll, so it doesn't matter.

HE'S A TROLL EVERYONE.
IGNORE HIM AND HE'LL GO AWAY.
IF HE WAS A REAL PHILOSOPHER HE'D STOP TRYING TO POST SHIT ON NEWGROUNDS AND GO TO A REAL PLACE.

HE'S ALSO PROBABLY CHRONAMUT'S ALT BECAUSE ANOTHER "WISE" ACCOUNT CRETHIS-LIUN TURNED OUT TO BE HIS ALT TOO. I CALLED HIM ON IT AND HE NEVER POSTED OR CHATTED AGAIN.

Life hasn't done anything truly amazing. Look at how wonderful it is in aspect? Why use 'now' to judge me if you do not have access to the future?

I could SAY I'm great at skateboarding and that I'm the next Tony Hawk and brag to people who don't know anything about skateboarding and don't care all I want, but if I never get any RECOGNITION from a legitimate source, it's useless.

I have the spine of a T-Rex. It is really easy to call out someone with pseudo-abilities that involve tangible components rather than a library of ideas people like you are too quick to assume pointless.

It doesn't matter how good you THINK you are, publish your works to a legit source that takes them, and then report back THEN you can call yourself a great philosopher.

I plan on sharing my philosophy on a broader spectrum shortly in the future. I am resorting to the act of sojourning for now. : )

but you are a troll, so it doesn't matter.

Time for some satire - It doesn't matter how much you THINK you I am a troll, state your reasons with a legit source that makes them legit, and then report that I am a troll with a consensus THEN you can call me a troll as you wish.

HE'S A TROLL EVERYONE.
IGNORE HIM AND HE'LL GO AWAY.
IF HE WAS A REAL PHILOSOPHER HE'D STOP TRYING TO POST SHIT ON NEWGROUNDS AND GO TO A REAL PLACE.

I have not given up for years. I am not a troll. If you really think that your distorted standards of judging me as a troll, because no true philosopher would be on Newgrounds, is viable. Then you have got to be the real troll. Look at your caps. Look at your avatar. Look at your name. Look at your sig.

HE'S ALSO PROBABLY CHRONAMUT'S ALT BECAUSE ANOTHER "WISE" ACCOUNT CRETHIS-LIUN TURNED OUT TO BE HIS ALT TOO. I CALLED HIM ON IT AND HE NEVER POSTED OR CHATTED AGAIN.

My music I composed is nothing like Chronamuts.

This coming from a guy that thinks sigs are an accurate measurement of a person? Wow, you must have recieved severe brain damage when your mother's strap on skull fucked you. Any more tit-sucking you intend to do from the teat of Dadaism to promote your "hip new rad" way of thinking, or are we all done here?

I do it all of the time.

I'm not the only one either. 4 posts per 30 minutes is ludicrous. Why not 5 minutes? If they are trying to by-pass flooding, I doubt anyone would wait 5 minutes every 4 posts. Especially if flooding would result in making 4 posts in less than a minute. That is 4 minutes of wait time for each attempt at flooding.

Now, Chicken. Respond to my response. Stop dodging.

philosophy is an interesting subject and i am sure many people love philisophy. it is the 12 year olds who make incoherent arguments about the meaning of life and then pretend they know a lot about the subject that are hated.

unforunately, most people who engage in dicussions about philisophy don't know what they are talking about.

I've read a lot of philosophy but rarely talk about it. Only when the time is right.
We all think about it throughout our lives.

A lot of people use knowledge and philosophy as a gate-way pass for their own insecurities.

Luckily there are people like me to call those people out - right? : )

First of all, repetoire is not that big of a word. Secondly, I do not care for science fairs. Besides, isn't saying 3rd place complimenting that I can 'do' something? Make up your mind.

I am the polar opposite. I rarely read other philosophies, but construct my own loose philosophy via 'free thinking'.

Because they are empty and superficial. Any time you attempt to express or articulate your so-called philosophy you end up contradicting yourself, avoiding the necessary points, and accusing everyone of not being capable of understanding your rambling.

Shutting someone out when they have spent years only trying to reach out to others with a school of thought that they personally think is the very reflection of life itself?

Why are your under the impression that I'm not already well-versed in abstract thought? Nothing you say is new or relevant.

Yurg, you only say that. You have never illustrated what you think of my philosophy. You expect me to elaborate myself when you can't not only elaborate yourself, but accept that there is a miscommunication between us. You are too quick to accuse my philosophy with your own subjective POV.

I never said you weren't.

How can you say 'nothing' I say is irrelevant if you can not crawl into my head and read the entire library of mine?

Posting on a website full of people who hate you and will never change.
Just to piss them off under the guise of being a philosopher.

You are the most ass-backwards person I've ever seen in my life. Don't you get it? Talking to you is a fucking JOKE. Just like you. You are a joke. We all point and laugh and make fun of you because you think you can actually GET somewhere because you think a certain way? The time where philosophers were actually needed is long past. Even if you are right, it doesn't mean two shits, cause it won't get you anywhere. All the time you've spent figuring it out and trying to defend it? Worthless. Every post you make where you run in circles to try and dodge the truth of the matter? Nonsense. You and your way of thought are useless. Mankind has no need of you.

No one needs you. No one wants you. You can spar with me all day and all night, but in the end, you KNOW that all you're doing is trying to tread water in the horrible depressing sea that tries to suck you under, force you into that dark abyss where those that will make no contribution are damned. And while you float there, in that endless expanse of your own pointlessness, you'll finally realize just how LITTLE you matter.

TL;DR? "Look at all the fucks I give."
