      Toddlers asking questions is indistinguishable from greek or roman philosophers. Sometimes I wonder how these people made it into history, luck?

        This is probably ragebait, but yeah, there is a luck factor in having writings survive through millenia. That being said, I doubt that what my toddler is asking will be considered important to people in 2000 years.

      Half of philosophy is just people formalizing a simple concept so it can be referenced academically lol. Kants categorical imperative is basically just “do unto others as you want done unto you”
