luckily, the outbursts that your eternal anal phase causes aren't the pinnacle of philosophy.
Not worth my time.

Not as much of a cautionary tale as Socrates. His neighbors literally made him kill himself.
And while "actual" sciences are good for describing what Is, philosophy is for what Ought to be. Prescriptive rather than descriptive. It is different. I suppose you could say "I'm fucking glad I play baseball a lot" and it would have the same meaning more or less.
I like the capital 'o' on 'ought'. Freudian slip? Or deliberately showing us what's more important to a philosopher - the abstract over reality?
Without what is there is no way to even attempt to examine what ought to be.
