There are diffrent kindas of philosophy thow rember. There are the more pessimistic ones who warn us. Then there's the forword minded ones who lead us.

Then there's the ones who have good ideas, and then we screw them up.
XD

It's a very abstract concept of what a philosopher is. If anything it's scoidy the dubs people as "philosophers". Now there's professional ones, and we got Professors who are bassicly the same idea. But the concept is just someone who brings new ideas and thought process to the table. But for all I know I'm just simplifying it.

Think about things and then write a book containing what you think about, then let other people tell you whether or not you're a philosopher.

I've thought about doing that, but I'm not a good writer and my focus and attention span are horrible.

How about essays? They don't have to be long, you can publish them individually and if you write enough they can be published in a collective volume.

Like I said, I'm a bad writer. ;p I wouldn't make anything public like that unless I was sure that I had my grammar on the straight and narrow. I'm still unsure in my ability to make comprehensive paragraphs. ;/ And my punctuation could probably stand to have some improvement. (I'm still tilting my head over the use of a semi-colon.)

A semi-colon begins another sentence without the use of a period.

Only so long as it has some connection, subject-wise, to the last sentence?

It's generally used that way; fruit flies like a banana. As I was saying, though, before I went off on a tangent: It need not be related; however, it usually is.
