The Philosopher Factory...

I think it sucks that we don't have any famous philosophers these days. I think the reason is that philosophy doesn't pay well. It doesn't really pay anything at all. Which causes that the only people who ever enter philosophy majors are guys and girls who have some kind of other source of money almost assured. And those who don't are usually starving after they graduate unless they pick some other career as a minor. This cannot be good for philosophy. There is no way we could be getting the wide range of views on the philosophical spectrum when we are getting it from people who eat with a silver spoon or from people who don't really eat. That is why I have a solution. I think there should be a philosophy factory.

The philosophy factory would hire philosophy majors and put them to work building simple machines that are now built by the blind and the retarded (let them take a break...its not like they really know what they are doing). We also tape a tape recorder to their heads thus we record everything they say. So we have them build clocks and record their thoughts on philosophy. For this they will be paid a little more than the blind and retarded plus if they come up with some genius work it will be published and get most of the royalties (the owner of the factory has to keep something to keep the factory running).

I think this would be a good idea that would change the face of philosophy and it won't really change anything in the way clocks are built. In fact if you enter one of those retarded clock making factories now it would look a lot like my vision. Some people making clocks and mumbling.
