Philosophist

A philosopher of sorts, a kind of philosopher, somewhat of a philosopher, but not quite fully qualified to be one.

You’ll find plenty of philosophists on street corners, sitting on the pavement discussing politics and religion with full authority!

Philosophy of Gemology

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."

Philosophical Sandboxism

The application of sandbox thinking to philosophy itself: recognizing that philosophical systems are sandcastles built within the sandbox of human language, logic, and experience. Each system—Platonism, empiricism, existentialism—is a construction, beautiful and useful, but none escapes the sandbox. Philosophical Sandboxism doesn't despair at this but celebrates it: the sandbox is big enough for infinite castles, and the play is in the building, not in finding the One True Castle that will last forever.

Philosophical Sandboxism "You're still looking for the one true philosophy that explains everything? Philosophical Sandboxism says: look around—we're all building castles in the same sandbox. Yours is pretty, mine is functional, theirs is weird. None will survive the tide. Build anyway, and admire the neighbors' work."

Philosophy Biases

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."
