Jesus Christ and all his friends... this certainly took a different direction than I anticipated. Rather than responding to the three respondents indi...
Straight up: I don't really care what someone does in their spare time. If they want to read Kant, great. If they want to watch porn or videos of peop...
I think I gave you a little a bit of insight on academic goings-on a few months ago in a different post, but just noticed this thread. First off - in ...
Hey, if you're still looking I know a great PhD student currently wrapping up his dissertation at a top-tier school. Really bright Phil. Sci. student,...
I don't feel sullied or less genuine - I feel like I'd like to continue to buy groceries. Academics aren't professional "lovers of wisdom" - you'll ge...
No no, I'm sorry if I'm coming off as mean spirited or cynical. Seriously, I think forums like this are great! But for different reasons than academia...
Yeah, yeah. Save it for the forum gents! Don't say that stuff in a class setting because people like me don't want to read garbage papers like that in...
S/he is in a nursing program bro. No one beyond the newbie undergrads in philosophy gives a shit about the mystical connection with wisdom you think i...
Haha, yeah just roll with it and try to have some fun. A lot of those pre-rec phil. classes are mostly focused on reading classic works and little wri...

Try 3-6 months plus RR (revise and resubmit), then still getting rejected by the EiC (Editor in Chief) and having to resubmit to a new journal. By the...
Jesus Christ boys, you realize that all three of you (I'm including that Benkei guy) are right, yeah? Hell, I re-read this little back and forth twice...
So just a recommendation to the original poster: go ahead and talk to your coffee group if they are receptive. Part of the "doing" of philosophy is ch...
Haha, that's pretty funny. But in all seriousness paper writing is still extraordinary difficult and submitting to high impact journals is kind of a m...
Here's a bit more of a practical answer: it has nothing to do with "sounding" smart but rather because we are told/taught that we have to publish and ...
Well hold your horses really quick because I want to address your previous comment. You wrote "Well, my conception of philosophy in practice has chang...
Oh don't take it as discouragement! Just be ready for it. I mean you'll know whether academia is for you pretty damn fast upon getting to grad school ...
Hate to be in my shoes? Nah. It's great. I love what I do. It's just what academia is man. Europe is about the same just more nepotism. Jobs for Ameri...
Made an account just to respond. Here's the deal.... As other people noted philosophy jobs are indeed few and far between. Statistically speaking most...
