How many cigarettes must one smoke until he stop smoking?
How many books will one have to read, until he knows wisdom itself.
How many years until one stop living?
How many years until one leaves the household?
I suppose it is enough. How much is enough? As long he breathes , he will do it again when he recovers.
In plato Phaedrus, it wrote about the invention of letters was an elixer of attaining wisdom, but socrates replys it is a way of reminding oneself not helping one to attain wisdom itself but an appearance of wisdom. Thanks to the invention of letters, they will know and hear much but most part know nothing and they will be difficult to get along.
Well, I’ve pretty much made up my mind to stay here for at least another couple of years, if not much longer. And I’ve already chalked up a ludicrous number of posts, though admittedly about 3,000 of those are comprised of needless arguments with psyque and aspacia and a handful of others. And I imagine that, in the cold light of day, those people would probably say that the arguments were needless, too. So we’d be agreeing on that at least. Sorry, what was the question again?
Everyone stops smoking - even the smokers die…
Just one, but you won’t know which until you’ve read it.
And here to thought this was not a philosophical one but a mundane one.
maybe later?
I like this reply, so I will pick this one.

Perhaps , someone already did but no one believes him?
This what bothers me the most it is when is the time when the person finally puts away reading? I guess when one renounces his life or the life of a household.
Therefore , no one who remains in the household will attain wisdom itself. Be it the teacher who questions at everything to everyone. Socrates the highest degree of wisdom.
And the teaching of the buddha where supreme enlightenment is attain when he sits on the greater vechile, being the teacher.
nice semi poem there. but did you forget to answer one more question,
how many posts does a member makes when he stops posting?
or is that the answer , timeless because he is a philosoper?
I must admit I didn’t quite get the purpose of this thread, nor do I think that it has an answer…or even a liable case for the foundation of any philosophical debate. I do not know why you asked these specific rhetorical questions, but perhaps there has occurred a miscommunication.
The purpose of rhetorical questions, as I have understood, is to contemplate whatever issue that specific question discusses. “How many roads must a man…” is a question of maturity and manhood. What makes a man? Am I a man yet? In any case, you asked many questions, the moral and societal issues of which, if even existent, do not relate to one another. So…what’s up doc?
