ILP is dead when Joker doesn’t post. Where the hell are all the so-called philosophers around here?
Sadly this is the most active and intelligent philosophy forum that I’ve had the pleasure to join yet, but things are depressing and too slow without Joker.
Joker scared away all the real philosophers. They come here, see his posts and say, “Oh, this isn’t really a philosophy forum. It’s a forum for angry hedonists who like to write big words”. And then they leave.
If he didn’t completely dominate the all sections of the forum with the same senseless babble that would be easily disproved if it could only be understood, you’d see some of the old philosophers come back.
When I first joined ILP: the constant posts on traditional Western philosophers/philosophy kept me away for a year after that, and Joker makes me want to fly to where-ever he lives in America and throttle him for his views - now, a mix of these two styles of postings is more interesting to those with a low boredom threshold who don’t happen to hold classic Western philosophy as a gospel for philosophy itself!
