I haven't read any of his books, but I always enjoy listening to YouTube videos of him. Sometimes working within the strict Western analytic tradition can get really tiresome and an "eastern" (probably a useless label) way of looking at a subject is refreshing. I'll have to read some of his more in-depth stuff on consciousness or whatever to really get a solid opinion of him though.

hey fake anon, what would you do if i told you that nothing in philosophy can ever be proven, and that it is merely an analog for religion that substitutes facts and knowledge for faith and obedience.Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU replied with this 14 years ago, 4 minutes later, 3 hours after the original post[^] [v] #361,701

I'd tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about.
Edit: Respectfully, of course.

So here are some of the big questions I've been trying to figure out solutions to. What are the solutions to the problem of free will? the problem of induction? the hard problem of consciousness? How can the tripartite theory of knowledge be modified to respond to the Gettier objections? What is the correct definition of truth? What is the correct moral theory, if any?
Solving these problems (and innumerable others) isn't done by just men sitting around in a room saying the first thing that comes to mind and then declaring that the best answer there ever will be.

Kill the free will.
Destroy the brain.
In a really gay way.
True things are true.
The correct moral theory is my moral theory that my moral theory is correct.
Solved. Next questions, please.

@361,707 (Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU)do you believe that a correct moral theory is attainable? do you believe that one culture can judge another culture's moral code based upon their own beliefs? a good example would be the Taliban shooting little girls and throwing acid on women's faces and setting them on fire and stuff. over here we're, like, that shit's wrong, but over there, they're a little more relaxed about it.
is it wrong? they don't think so.
and then we come in with all our beliefs and morals and say stop? Who're we?

Before I address those questions, I'd just like to point out that by engaging in this discussion, you are tacitly admitting that philosophy is worth doing, which might be contrary to you earlier point.
As to the cultural relativism bit, I think it is perfectly legitimate to judge other cultures' moralities from an objective standpoint. I don't see moral questions as the kinds of things that have no objectively right answer. For example, kicking babies in the face until they die for no reason other than "it's fun!" is objectively immoral, regardless of time, place, circumstance, etc. Cultural relativism runs into a couple of problems. Firstly, why should we think that moral judgments are the kinds of things that are entirely culturally dependent? Secondly, isn't it inconsistent to say that some action X is simultaneously moral and immoral? Thirdly, if someone belongs to more than one culture, whose morals should they follow? Lastly, if morals are entirely culture-dependent, on what basis can someone argue that we as a society ought to change our moral views on any given subject?
Anyway those are just some preliminary, not very well-structured thoughts about the issue.
