When do you know you are a philosopher?

When do you know you are a philosopher?

For starters :
When someone asks you why don't you use windows and you tell them "I do not agree with their philosophy"


PS they dont have a philosophy... its just business.

Please continue, I gave a bad example maybe by seeing the replies I can improvise.

When you think the FSF (and their "ideals") are worth your time to think about :lolflag:

when you start answering questions with vague statements or debating the existence of good and evil.

i don't see being a philosopher as some kind of "job" or label... i believe that philosophy is an aspect of everybody's life.

i mean... everybody is a philosopher. everytime you think about good, bad, the fate of society... you are philosophizing. some people don't philosophize very much and others do it a lot. so some people are more "philosophee" than others.

its like... you don't label people as thinkers. some people think a lot and some people almost none at all, but everybody is a "thinker"

i wish that everybody also had musicianship as a trait. so that everybody is a musician... its just that some people play more than others... some don't play much at all... but we're all musicians.

wouldn't that be great?

(please don't be offended if you disagree with me. i tried to word this as politely as i could)

when some one asks you what is the meaning of
length += 10

And you start telling them that the philosophy behind the language is at fault for this complex statement which could have been written in perfectly understandable terms.
