this here thread is why the heart of my political platform is the mass crucifixion of philosophy majors and the perpetual display of their bodies as a lesson to future sophists
-
do philosphy majors experience qualia though

Nagel: yes, of course Dennet: ignore that you meat puppet Searle: let's talk about it Damasio: no, just indigestion James: lol you nerds
-
me, an economist: I dont care whether they experience qualia as long as they're dead and their mutilated corpses serve as an object lesson to deter future philosophers

economist is philosopher slang for "employed", this is considered the most severe of all disparagements

i usually conceptualize philosophers as "failed rent-seekers" anecdote! my old econ department shared a floor with philosophy once an econ student sat at a table near the philosophy office they put up a sign saying they'd call campus police if they saw it happen again
