On ''what there is''


The question looks ''philosophical'' in the sense of ''what exist?''. In the old terminology ''ontology question''.
The modern formulation (by Quine) is: ''what are the values of your variables''? In our hobby ''what are
the new available components''?  Can one person know what are available components? Obviously not
but we have ''collective knowledge''. Each contribution is welcome. Like in science. But like in science there
are individuals with special contributions. Raul with his MM contributions and his ''successor'' chakster
with his contributions about ''both kinds'': MC's and MM's. Despite his ''modest means''. I think we should
be thankful to have such individuals.

The assertion that politics is like chess is refuted by Gasparov
himself .
Just a word to precise here that NOBODY ever claimed anything of the sort in this thread about politic and chess being alike...

Then you assume too much here for the sake of your post...

And myself i speak too much...

 Anyway i thank you for your  thread and interesting remarks out of the audio trivialities...

Everybody IS a philosopher but the most think that philosophy is
a kind of profession. Say the opinion about people: the good and
the bad one, rude kind nice kind , poor and rich , etc,. etc, This
 then can be called ''social philosophy''.
''Don't please mention politicians''.  Well this than   is ''political
philosophy''. One can't watch ''the world around him''  without 
forming some opinion about what one has seen  with his own
eye and ''elaborated '' with his own brain. 
This explains so many participants in this thread. Even the ''real
philosopher'' as those who think to hate ''philosophy''; the ''dark
Matter'' kind. 
Except those  who like ''borders  between categories'' the strict
followers of the rules ..'' It is not 'deed' Nandric ''but did''. Aka
''grammar rules'' but nearly nobody mentioned ''poor grammar''
with  only ''S'' (subject) the ''IS'' ( connector) and ''P'' (  the
predicate). How many ''issues'' can't be expressed with such
poor base with only  3 words  grammar ? 
The Germans have the most philosopher in the world with
possible exception of the ''old Greek''. What is however very
strange is their opinion about them: ''there is nothing more
easy than to refute an philosopher . The only thing one need
to do is to tread some other''. 
Philosophy is the love of thought. A philosopher enjoys exercising the intellect. It is fun, but even children’s games have rules. Even children lose patience and get upset when you try and break the rules. Don’t say deed for did, they are two completely different things.

A deed is an act. Deed is present tense. Did is past tense. The deed is done. He did it.

Grammar is the way we structure our language. Since we have no way of communicating what we think other than with words it is essential we follow the rules of grammar. Otherwise, if we don’t follow the rules we risk writing gibberish no one can even begin to understand.
How many ’’issues’’ can’t be expressed with such
poor base with only 3 words grammar ?

See what I mean?
