No one can ever answer the big questions maybe simply becuase there just to big to be answered. Why not just live? Carpe Diem! enjoy the time and make the most of it. Get drunk get laid go to the beach eat allot of food take a walk breathre the air. I mean thats what makes life special not the big questions all you puesdo philosphers think you can figure out on an internet fourm. Its rather silly really. So to answer your question. No Im not I rather think Im smarter than most of you.
Wait? Getting drunk, laid and all that is what makes life worth living? HOLY ****, A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!!1

Just because these are the funniest (and simplest, and most unintelligent) things to do, doesn't mean we should stop caring about the great questions. I consider discussing philosophy and such to be very funny, but that doesn't mean I don't like drinking or taking a walk.
You're a narcissist (apparently... also, did you know of the term or do such things not interest you?) since you hold yourself to be superior to "most of us". I am not blaming you though, since almost everyone is narcissistic in a way, and I hold myself to be a lot smarter than most of you who don't care for knowledge and philosophy. Of course, technically I am smarter since I'm using brain more, and I engage in the same simple means of entertaining myself as you, while at the same time understanding the futility in doing so.

Pseudo philosophers? Is there such a thing? Isn't everyone capable of contemplating about philosophical questions (like why we are here, to pick the most basic one) a philosopher? Philosophy isn't sience, and it's open to everyone who can use their brain really. Your philosophy is Carpe Diem, making you a philosopher.
Also, I consider Carpe Diem to be thorough BS. I'm a nihilist (for what it's worth) and to think getting drunk is in any way preferable to staring into a wall all day long is downright stupid in my eyes. "You are all the same piece of decaying organic material", as Tylder Durden said, so what we do doesn't matter. If you like getting drunk: fine, then do so, but don't tell those who like to contemplate on the big questions to do what you consider to be the proper way of doing things. You have no right to do so, just like I have no right to give you this piece of advice. See my point?
