Are you not a scientist insofar as you understand the facts necessary to ascertain that this green movement and CGCC (catastrophic global climate change) are nonsense?

Philosophy exists objectively, one must discover its reality with one's own mind. Definitions do as well, they're not arbitrary constructs but a conceptual necessity to organize particular existents and communicate them with others

Concepts are not produced, they represent a particular existent--unless one means the integration which grasps it is a product of volitional effort. Philosophy isn't "a way of thinking about the world" it's the fundamental concepts (knowledge of reality) which are required to think

Most prominently students are taught type Plato, Augustine, Descartes, Hume, Kant etc sophistries, which teach an individual the impotence of his own mind and the subjectivity or nonexistence of morality

A negative (nonexistent) doesn't exist

That which gives rise to life and consciousness are metaphysical qualities i.e inhabit all existents

"Ontology" is a redundant term--"metaphysics" describes the nature of existence i.e of being

I don't have time nor interest in speaking to the type of fool I've described in these messages

If you're interested by my premises, you will find them abundantly exemplified, implicit & explicit in the novel "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand

A philosopher is one who studies the fundamental properties of existence--many who study 'philosophy' in modern college come out as less knowledgeable philosophically than when they entered

The climate has always changed naturally, only slightly higher in average temperature given the popular data is correct during the time we've been using fossil fuels than the same span of time prior

Definitions are an objective conceptual necessity which varies by subject. There is no reason to restrict "philosophy"'s use to an intensive or socially organized or historical study--philosophy is an existing body of knowledge of reality one must discover, not produce. Any engagement of that body warrants an act of philosophy and determines the degree to which one is a philosopher

Most of what is taught as 'philosophy' in modern college contradicts reality fundamentally, not describes it--consequently those who absorb these contradictions destroy previous knowledge of that level. (Negatives don't exist)

Ethics & epistemology are fundamental sectors of metaphysics, significant enough to warrant a fundamental handle on engaging all particulars when known
