Dear Future Philosopher

Dear Future Philosopher (if thou shall beeth one),

Here I am, your very everyday un-average, not-so-ordinary guy writing his last blog to the future. Yes, you are the future. And the future of philosophy, whether or not you really are a true philosopher. This is so because, well, just look at where you are in this class. You are one of the few(?) who have survived Philosophy 1 and have not given up on it. So, you are the future of philosophy… or at least for the semester.

Now, I have to discuss what’s existentially important to me… whatever that means. If you don’t know what that means, do what I did, look it up in a dictionary, “that’s how Dad did it, that’s how America does it, and it’s worked out pretty well so far” (quote from Tony Stark, if you remember who that is in your time) so go get yourself a dictionary.

So, what is existentially important to me… I don’t really have an answer for that. I don’t very much like my existence, so I don’t really find anything important to it. Ummm, food? Water? But that’s the basics, which isn’t too interesting, is it. Well, I guess what’s important to my existence, my being, are good morals, because I dislike a guilty conscience, and my powers, because… well, if you had powers, you would find them important too. Oh, and another thing, which ties them together (sort of), knowledge. Because of my vast knowledge (the word “vast” is questionable), I have good morals. And also because of my knowledge, I know about my powers and how to use them. That’s ok, I'm fine with you not believing me; I’d rather that actually.

This next question is more straightforward. How have I grown as a philosopher. Before taking this course, I always looked at the world differently that other people, and I knew that, and I used it to my advantage. But now taking this voyage, I have been able to not only learn new ways of thinking, new philosophies, etc., but I have also organized, edited, and perfected my own philosophies.

And finally, “How will I continue the ‘dialogue’ of philosophy from this point forward?” Well, that’s easy. I’ll just continue to do what I always do, except now at the end of this year, it will be more organized: I will make others think. I used to do that, I still do that, and I will continue to do that. It’s not even like I try to do so, I just do. The way I speak is enough to make people think, even if it’s a minimal as to make people understand what I'm saying, just like I did with you.
