Good video. Would have loved to see a specific mention of the routledge introductory series, those books are fantastic. Also Philpapers should be mentioned as THE place to search for stuff. If you search for big topics on philpapers like metaethics, they also have a cool summary, introductory works and key works section that greatly helps beginners. Still overall good video!

Oh yeah, I forgot about PhilPapers. Yes, this Routledge series is also worth attention. Thanks for the comment!

I would say: 1/Ignore this guy's advice. 2/ Go away and think about the thing that interests you, and try to arrive at your own philosophy. 3\ If you get as far as you can, then research the specific things that you cannot quite grasp. 4/ Remember that philosophical literature is huge pile of manure, there are some gems hidden in it to be sure, but you will have to dig for them. Incidentally the common cold is NOT an infection, it is a phenomenological occurrence. "Infection" is the theory of what causes it.

I would say: Ignore this guy's advice. The context of a conversation is crucial for effective communication, and stating that a cold is an infection is a correct statement. Similarly, the meanings of words in English can be seen as theoretical constructs, and from a phenomenological perspective, your comment might just be viewed as a string of symbols. Denying such things is unnecessary and completely impractical.

If we set PRACTICAL PREVENTION OF ALL EVIL (defined exhaustively as DISASTERS, PREDATION, DISEASES ~ which include all birth defects, all weapons manufacture, all violence ~ and DEATH) as the sole purpose cum criterion of proof of all knowledge, then whatever assumptions as to existences that enable achieving this goal would be the 100% accurate answer to this historic question (what is reality?) forever. Not realizing this fact that "purpose free search for knowledge would lead us nowhere" is the reason why human race as a whole, from antiquity to present day, from Thales of Miletus to Stephen Hawking and still continuing, is yet to derive the mathematical model of the mechanism for even a single natural phenomenon that could PREDICT accurately when it could harm life function, let alone PREVENT such. When one doesn't know where one wants to go no road can be wrong, neither can any be right. That has always been (and still, of course, IS) the fate of all hitherto search for knowledge of the entire human race, with the ideal : KNOWLEDGE FOR ITS OWN SAKE OUT OF CURIOSITY.
