A professor of philosophy is not a philosopher. It is a professor of philosophy.
By your logic a PHD in religion makes you a cardinal, or a PHD in astronomy makes you an astronaut.

Don't be confused. Learning/Teaching is not implementation.

Ok then how does one become a philosopher without schooling wise one?:ohhh:

The tenants of philosophy can be taught but not philosophy itself. You can be graded on how many old dead white guys you can name like Socrates and Cicero... or how many theories and quandries you can name, but actually being a philosopher cannot be 'taught' because at its core it requires questioning things and trying to unravel the secrets of the universe to become one with it in understanding. If you are simply asking the questions on page 44 of some book you are reading, you are not really philosophizing at all.

Although there are people that are highly educated through doctorates and institutions like Noam Chonsky who can lecture and debate, there are also worldly educated men like Penn Jillette who travel and absorb culture and interactions then question established principals. Then there are self educated men like Canibus that absorb knowledge, seek it out, hypothesize, and delve into subject matter that they know will make them pariah, but do so anyway. I would say they all constitute modern day philosophers. So there are many paths I suppose. But people that gather to discuss bigfoot are closer to being a philosopher than a guy that just studies it and teaches it. He would have to put the book down and engage in it.

JADEN: [bursts into laughter]

So, I'm assuming that he broke character here for a moment?

Hmm. I usually prefer written transcripts to video interviews, but this is one where I'd actually like to see them saying this stuff, particularly that moment.

Like I said in HL I'm pretty much on the opposite side of the spectrum with my beliefs but ya know what, they aren't hurting anybody so...:manny:

There is a new thread on this site that has similar views to some of the things Jaden and Willow Smith were saying. The thread is here: "the universe is listening; be careful what you say in it"

Many comment sections around the internet were hard on the children and the liberal YouTube channel, "The Young Turks" weighed in this matter to clown the kids as well.



The comments in the newly made "universe is listening" thread are intriguing because it really makes an early comment in this thread ring true:

YOU get these "indigo children."

They're just trying to be aware of the universe rather than the societal mundane norms. :ohlawd:

Don't get left behind brehs/brehettes.

There are some fellow "Indigo" people around here or just people who are also spiritually inclined and looking outside the box.

^ Many people with kids or those who are about to have kids will have some interesting conversations soon. Kids are natively growing up with these ideas now. Parents will have to deal with it (assuming they have a problem and have to "deal" with it, otherwise parents might love it).

Power of now touches on a few things they speak on here

Jaden definitely has touches of the power of now in this interview. These ideas also show up in his rap lyrics (which are at least as interesting as this interview). He self-identifies as an "Indigo." That might explain why he seems so different from many other people.
