As the title says, if you had to take the entirety of your thoughts about the world, and condense it into something that could fit on a bumper sticker, what would you come up with?

Mine would be something like "Piddle Around a Bit, Then Die. Also Reproduction."

Why? I thought this was going to be more interesting when I read the first 1/2 of the title. It's like presenting a multiple choice question to someone. People are not as two-dimensional as that (OK, not everybody is as two-dimensional as that). To ask me to distill philosophy into ten words or less is to ask me to enter the realm of self-help seminars who streamline and commodify Plato's cave allegory. No offense to you, but fuck a bunch of that. Who I am cannot be condensed into 10 words. No small part of me can be condensed into 10 words (I'm also not known for being succinct). To limit it to 50 words would be reasonable; to ask us to distill their essence into a bumper sticker is to simultaneously ask us to share our outlook on life and to check our brain at the door. No can do.

...but if you want, I can comply with the first 1/2 of the request.

That was kind of the point. Since our world views are so complex and intricate, asking people to give their entire life philosophy results in long winded essays, but since we're an ADD, Michael Bay loving society with no patience for that, I thought it'd be fun to make people give the Cliffnotes version. Notice that I said it would be "fun", not "a serious discussion in which you must pour out your heart and soul lest you lose the integrity that an introductory philosophy course granted you."

So far, the results have been somewhat amusing, but if you're too good for it, you can kindly move along.

TL;DR: Chill out, bro. It's just a thread I made for fun. (dammit, that's eleven words...)

that's not my actual philosophy but it`s the one our current society rewards, which makes it the best from a personal perspective.
