What if you're not that smart?

I'm not sure if I should be insulted right now or not, sspad. You're basically accusing all the posters here who enjoy discussing things like metaphysics (and I'm in the bunch) of being pompous blowhards who waste their time with "intellectual masturbation." When you get right down to it, the entire philosophy forum is just a backdrop for cerebral bishop-choking. Should we just get rid of it, then, since it's not making the world a better place?

I mean, I don't think anyone here is "deeply troubled" by unsettled philosophical issues, but some of us enjoy talking about them anyway. If you disapprove, you can kindly ignore those threads. Simple.
