philosotainment 

Word created and defined by Scott Adams

"Philosophy for the sole purpose of entertainment, not enlightenment"

"It doesn’t try to be right, or further our understanding of reality. In fact, the best arguments of philosotainment are clearly wrong, but no two people can agree why. Sorting it out is the point. The fun of philosotainment is in finding out something about your own thinking compared to your fellow humans. The particular topic of discussion is nothing but the vehicle for that journey."
"My first commercial philosotainment was my book, God’s Debris. The readers that understood what it was usually enjoyed it. The philosophy majors who wondered why it didn’t further their understandings of the universe were literally furious."

A small town in Oregon where people go to rope cattle, cut down trees, and shoot spotted owls. It is also inaccurately defined as the "love of learning".

Philomath is the bitch step-sister of Corvallis, an infinitely cooler town, yet only two or three miles away. Refer to the definition of Corvallis.

Philomath is also not a safe place for queers. It's really only a nice place for meth fiends and dipshit rednecks.
Philomath blows for a lot of reasons. The biggest reason is that Paul's Place is no longer there. If you know what's good for you, you'll drive right through without stopping on your way to Newport.

philosotainment 

The art form first used to great effect by Socrates and leading to his death, this invention of Scott Adams (author of "Dilbert" comics) is the art of
"asking humorously provocative questions that are designed to make your dogmatic friends (turn into a) showcase of dancing monkeys...It’s evil, but it’s fun. I call it philosotainment."
"I told a dirty joke at the party, and Alice got all sanctimonious on me. So I asked her 'if she's such a good Christian, shouldn't she forgive me?'"

Oh, so -that's- what made her trash the living room!"

Yep: that was some good philosotainment, there."

philosoteric

Excessive contemplation of the meaning of life, the universe and everything by a small, select group of pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-scientific individuals.
"Philosoterically speaking life is nothing more or less than a cosmic joke where the punchline has been misplaced.
