  • I thought of one myself while at work. After bothering a manager for confirmation I said "I'd rather know I've done something right than not know I've done something wrong."

    Was quite pleased with that 😀
    Isn’t it the other way round? 
    Id rather know Ive done something wrong…

    Mine regarding customer service in the US Vs the UK:
    I'd rather be told 'have a nice day' by someone who doesn't mean it than 'fuck off' by someone who does.

  • Viewing philosophy as simple catch phrases sort of misses the point at bit.

    Philosophers tend to think about questions like :-

    "Is every unambiguous statement true or false? "
    "Can an unambiguous statement be neither true nor false? "
    "Can an unambiguous statement be both true and false?".
    "What do we mean by ambiguous anyway?".

    Thinking a little about this might help us when we hear politicians talk about telling "THE TRUTH".

    Another was: ‘She needs a new car like she needs a hole in the head’ discuss the meaning of ‘needs’ in that sentence.

    Almost like solving a riddle.

    1) ....not sure 

    2) She doesn't NEED a new car at all. Not having a new car will not withdraw her existence. 

    3) Technically, you have at least some proportion of freedom even if you're in a prison cell. 

    You have the freedom to stand up, and sit back down again.

    Freedom has only vanished if you're dead or very close to being dead.

    Mine's a more stoical approach: A trouble shared is a trouble doubled.
