I'm supposed to be writing a philosophical essay right now but I have no idea what to right about.

Hoping you guys could help me out with some inspiration.

If a man speaks in the forest and no woman hears it, is he still wrong?

Can you create a bulb that creates darkness instead of light?


Btw how long should it even be, what grade are you in etc.

Give some specifics?

if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, will a hipster still buy the sound track?

You can't "create" darkness. Darkness is just an absence of light. Unless you're talking about some kind of crazy black hole lightbulb that absorbs all surrounding light.

What if light bulbs don't create light... What if they just suck in dark?

I like this.


Those other two are too easy to write an essay on.

Men are always right so that makes no sense. If no woman is around he can't be womanlogiced into thinking he is wrong

Yes its still gay...the dude knows hes sucking a dudes dick and I don't see how you'd be in a pitch black room and not know who's sucking your dick. Unless you're drunk I cant see this happening

What if the world is dark all the time, but the sun just absorbs the dark?

And the moon is actually providing dark...meaning that light is only the absence of dark, not vice versa. Ohhh shit.

But light consists of waves and has a certain speed when traveling, we can measure light. Energy is converted into light not darkness.

Shhhh, no it doesn't. The moon is the source of all power. It gives us darkness. The sun fights the darkness, but someday the moon will rise and show its true strength, taking over the world.

What if dark matter is the answer you didn't know you were looking for? Because I'm afraid it is...

The moon is the answer. The moon has always been the answer.

Spinoza

I'm a philosophy major, so can probably help you out but I'm in the car right now. Typical questions would be: Existence of god, Mind body relationship, Descartes' meditations, Ethical theories such as Utilitarianism "does the end justify the means?", I wouldn't recommend Berkeley's tree in the woods if you haven't been taught it by a prof. Stick with ethics of you don't have a ton of background i'de say.

One of y favorites is reason vs. emotion. Being active vs. being passive. Read about Spinoza in the Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy. (my names sake tree)

That's because the moon is dark matter...glow in the dark, dark matter
it charges up during the day like when you hold a glow in the dark thing up to a lightbulb and at night it glows
but the inside is still dark matter because...dark matter

I've always been interested in Spinoza, but can't say I know that much about.

I read somewhere that pretty much everything Spinoza postulated has been more or less "proved" by neuroscience.

I believe the sun is simply reflecting the shine from the moon, stealing its spitlight so they'll have a cockfight ar noon.
