Philosophy is not the love of wisdom.

It's the love of pure understanding.

There is only one serious philosophical question, which is, what is consciousness. And that is because consciousness is all

there is. Welcome to an intro to serious philosophy.

This is of course a Halloween special,

but don't be fooled by silly appearances

because this is going to be one of the most serious philosophy episodes that you'll find anywhere online.

If you're a student of philosophy or you're interested in philosophy,

this is going to be some of the best advice you can ever

get about how to do philosophy how to get into philosophy I'm going to give you my

lifetime's worth of tips and advice for how to do that. This is supposed to be my top

advice for philosophy students or aspiring philosophers. Funny enough, nobody really teaches you how to do philosophy.

I'm a philosophy major, I went to university for philosophy, I studied it academically, seriously, you might say, and way beyond.

I'll get into that at a minute.

But what's funny is that in university nobody sat down and taught me how to do philosophy.

It's amazing.

It's amazing how bad it is.

So before we get into all that though,

because I have some strong opinions about how to do proper philosophy because see

philosophy is my life purpose my whole life has been about one thing

understanding reality and that's essentially what philosophy is.

I started doing philosophy in my mid-teens all through high school and through university.
