Get the Philosophy mug.A branch of metaphysical inquiry that asks the deep questions about the nature of value, beauty, and existence as they pertain to pretty pebbles. It grapples with the ethics of desire: if a flawless ruby sits in a vault and no one sees it, does it still hold value? It explores the subjective nature of beauty, pondering whether a stone's worth is intrinsic or merely a collective hallucination agreed upon by De Beers and the global patriarchy. It’s less about Mohs hardness and more about the hard questions of aesthetics and human desire.
Example: "After spending his life savings on a diamond for his fiancée, Mark had a sudden philosophical crisis. He wasn't sure if he was buying into a symbol of eternal love or just participating in a multi-billion-dollar delusion about a compressed lump of coal. Welcome to the philosophy of gemology."

Get the Philosophy of Gemology mug.Biases within philosophical practice—the assumptions, preferences, and exclusions that shape what philosophy is and who gets to do it. Philosophy Biases include: canon bias (studying the same dead white men); method bias (privileging analytic over continental, or vice versa); language bias (philosophy happens in English, German, French—not in indigenous languages); gatekeeping bias (who gets called a philosopher); progress bias (assuming philosophy progresses like science). Philosophy Biases make philosophy smaller than it could be—a conversation among some rather than a discipline for all.
Philosophy Biases "Your philosophy degree covered zero non-Western thinkers. That's Philosophy Bias—assuming Western philosophy is philosophy, not one tradition among many. Philosophy means 'love of wisdom,' not 'love of European wisdom.' Bias makes the discipline a club instead of a conversation."

Get the Philosophy Biases mug.Second-order biases about philosophy—systematic distortions in how philosophy is practiced, taught, and valued. Philosophy Metabiases include: canon bias (studying the same dead white men); method bias (privileging analytic over continental); progress bias (assuming philosophy progresses like science); gatekeeping bias (deciding who counts as a philosopher); relevance bias (assuming philosophy must be technical to be serious). Philosophy Metabiases shape the discipline itself—what counts as philosophy, who gets to do it, and what it's for.
Philosophy Metabiases "Real philosophy is analytic philosophy." That's Philosophy Metabias—confusing one tradition with the whole discipline. Philosophy is a vast conversation across traditions, times, and cultures. The metabias is thinking your corner of philosophy is philosophy itself."
