Philosophy, the bedrock of democracy

I think that philosophy is the stuff that keeps the world going. It is the grease that makes the engine turn. It is the milk I have with my cereal to dissolve my weetbix in the morning so that I can be full. It is the glue that I use to stick photos into my scrapbook. It is the colours that paint the world that I see. It is the soap I use to clean my hair. It is a lot more things than this, but I’ll leave the rest as an exercise for the reader.

One of my favourite stories is Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone since it is all about philosophy and not dumb stuff like heroism and magic. Eugh. I don’t like made up stuff. In fact one of the quotes I live by is as follows.

Look up. Sooner or later you will be surprised.

This has always kept me going in the tough, dark times of my life. One example was when I forgot to get off at the right train station. This was really hard for me as I had to wait for another train to get home. But I never gave up. I looked up and thought: “I can do this!!!!”. And then I arrived home. The end.

I really hope you like my blog. Give it a read and let me know how I did!

If you have any complaints make sure to follow my three step policy before sending me any hate-mail at fletcher@flech.pages.dev.

  1. Is it kind? If it is not kind then it is mean. I think being mean is bad. Read some of my posts about this and maybe you will want to be kind instead.
  2. Would you wear a t-shirt if it was printed on the back? For example I might wear a shirt that said “Really cool blog post but I disagree with your portrayal of the archetype of man as a macho villain” but I wouldn’t wear a shirt that said “nice post”.
  3. If you reach this point maybe you should give up. Don’t send me any mail. The email I wrote is a FAKE EMAIL. GET PRANKED
