This just in: Study claims that studying thinking about stuff makes you better at thinking!
More news at five.Ì wonder what the studies say about the party poopers that post these kinds of comments.
Nothing surprising either, I assume.
Well-deserved roast.
Are you implying that we shouldn’t think about these things and just take them at face value?
Seems like that would promote being bad at thinking.
Studying philosophy well, and actually learning how to do it, makes you a better thinker. Yes, just like running will make you a better runner.
However, doing it poorly, will make you worse. Lots and lots of casual consumers of philosophy dont’ study it. They just read it passively and parrot it back out. Sort of like running for 200m and feeling like that is as good as running a 2km.
