Philosophy..?

So, the urge to write has struck me and it would seem that some sort of mad neurosurgeon replaced my brain with an intro to philosophy textbook as all that is coming to mind is pseudo intellectual bull that no one gives a damn about. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with philosophy but I hate people preaching it to me and I don't want to do the same in my random insignificant blog that no one reads. I could talk at length about nihilism, pragmatism, morality, communes, utopian/dystopian societies et cetera but nahhhh who wants to hear about that. It doesn't help that I think I'd just come off as one of those morons who likes to spout stuff off, I'm no philosopher, my philosophy is simply that nothings real but what you make so make what you want and do what works and I've already spoken about that in the past. If I tried to develop that idea any further it would be little more than mental masturbation (if you suck at metaphors that would be thinking for the sake of thinking alone with no real gain in the end other than self-satisfaction) which would be a waste of mine and my non-existent readers' time.

Even worse, I could end up sounding like the Wachoski brothers in the second Matrix movie with their long-winded monologues on causality and egregiously overdone navel contemplation. All in all, I think philosophers' works are becoming overused and given too much credit in our society today. Nietzsche, a philosopher himself, tells us this. He says that all of the thinking of academics is wonderful but ultimately useless if you're trying to understand mankind as academics are far removed from mankind. Academics, educated men in ivory towers, are the exception, not the norm. As such anything they think of is not going to be true for society in general. Only by forgetting all of the higher education that we academics have crammed into our skulls and going out in to the world of "common" man can we understand it. All of the lofty talk about ideals, meaning, and purpose that you read in philosophy is missing the critical human elements that are necessary.

Wow this went from me complaining about having nothing to talk about to me giving a lecture on the overemphasis of philosophers ramblings in our thinking. I'm actually angry at myself. My goal when creating this blog was to avoid deep topics and keep posts flippant, irreverent, and fun to write. I, however, have not been in that mindset much since I've started writing on the blog. I often find myself introspective and melancholy rather than sarcastic and snarky when I sit down to write... meh...
