Blowing your own mind for no reason but yourself?

Heres one: :laughing:

β€œIm so smart that im going to outsmart myself, i want somthing more then sanity, reality or fact, its so exiteing to chase my own tail cause i keep on going faster and faster and faster!”
:smiley:
heheh.

I was trying to catagorize roots of philosophy.
I thought there is:
Factual philosophy,
mundane philosophy,
self-centered philosophy,
practical philosophy,
^the list goes on.
I was thinking about the root and perpose of each,
but then i thought i was un-fit to make a whole list of roots.

Still, i think that what i call a β€œmind trick”, is a useless thought that apears to be complex and wise. Its impractical.

How much of this kind of thing do you see on average?
Havent you seen people antagonize and critisize and question their own ability to think and ask questions so much that it was useless?

Not quite sure what youre getting at, could you clarify.

Im not exactly sure of what your getting at but I will take a stab at it. Its called pride, and each and every individual on this site has plenty of it. Only thing is, the questions and thoughts arent derived simply for ourselves, its done because of the possible recognition and superiority. Its an ego competition; one wants to win over the other, making the individual either drop their preconcieved belief, or at least questioning it, ultimately crushing the losers ego. Pretty pointless.
