Welcome to this week's Open Discussion Thread. This thread is a place for posts/comments which are related to philosophy but wouldn't necessarily meet our posting rules (especially posting rule 2). For example, these threads are great places for:

  • Arguments that aren't substantive enough to meet PR2.

  • Open discussion about philosophy, e.g. who your favourite philosopher is, what you are currently reading

  • Philosophical questions. Please note that r/askphilosophy is a great resource for questions and if you are looking for moderated answers we suggest you ask there.

This thread is not a completely open discussion! Any posts not relating to philosophy will be removed. Please keep comments related to philosophy, and expect low-effort comments to be removed. All of our normal commenting rules are still in place for these threads, although we will be more lenient with regards to commenting rule 2.

About Community

/r/philosophy has gone private from June 12-14 as part of the coordinated blackout to protest reddit's decision to eliminate third party apps essential to moderation and accessibility via exorbitant API pricing. You can learn more about the blackout and our demands [here](http://bit.ly/3J7AUf9) or [here](http://bit.ly/3Pa4bcK). In the event that reddit does not return to the negotiating table or reverse course, /r/philosophy may potentially permanently shut down.
