Why then, if ALL philosophical discussion has such intrinsic value(your main point?), value that can only be overlooked by the incapable or the lazy(Me), are you not attempting to grow and learn as much as possible by adding your perspective in every thread in the philosophy forum?

Just to add to a point made earlier: I don't participate in every thread in here because some of them are not philosophy (the religion discussions, while interesting, start to repeat themselves fairly quickly), and because some of them are simply not interesting to me. I have seen very few of the threads I would like to see more of, threads like "What do you think of Kant's Transcendental Aesthetic?" or "Is Badiou's critique of Levinas valid?" Of course, I haven't started any threads like this myself, so I'm not really blaming anyone. Just explaining why I don't post as much as I might.
