To criticize is only to establish that a concept vanishes when it is thrust into a new milieu, losing some of its components, or acquiring others that transform it. But those who criticize without creating, those who are content to defend the vanished concept without being able to give it the forces it needs to return to life, are the plague of philosophy.

All those debaters and communicators are inspired by resentment. They speak only for themselves when they set empty generalizations against one another. Philosophy has a horror of discussions. It always has something else to do.

Is that a criticism I hear? Or are you being creative?

I don't know... most critics argue that the persona or point of view is negligent without punctuation. Like semi-colons, or commas. Even dashes - when used appropriately- create the proper balance between meaning and terminology. Like I wanted to correct "What" for "Which." Creative, isn't it?
"...There was a writer who asked why it was that when we find positive experiences we say that only the physical facts are real, but in negative experiences we believe that reality is subjective. He made an example of those who say that in birth only the pain is real, the joy a subjective point of view, but that in death it is the emotional loss that is the reality." - Tony Ballantyne, Recursion. _____________________________________________ Truth is want. - The internal state of matters. Truth is Need. - The external state of affairs.

What counter arguments critics present amount to at the end of it Which counter arguments critics present, amount to at the end of 'it'. Natural phonetical pauses create sub-subjective alterations to what is actually being terminalized within language; thus altering the actual message. As such, most critics are suseptable to subjective inferences. The master of rhetoric is the mast of the box office critics.

Well I thought I made a good point for being a 17 year old student. I am here to broaden my knowledge and have a less bias opinion on certain aspects of philosophy.

I don't know why it seems necessary for teenagers to come here, spout their heads off, and then say, ohh but my age is 13-19....I did good. Your age is of no consequence here. You either say rubbish or make a good argument.
