as the saying goes "one bad apple spoils the bunch", but the saying omits how quickly the apples spoil; they do not spoil immediately and readily. as philosophers we must react to the found spoiled and throw them out as quick, hopefully, as they get thrown in.

Philosophers are sincere enough about the fallability of their ideas that they will tend to be considered the bad apples.
You can always just become a "solution" kind of guy...

I'm confused. People are allowed to have bad ideas. Hell george bush was president of the united states!

sure, they have bad ideas, i'm saying that they should be thrown out as quick as possible before they fester and rot the other apples, that is to say, that bad ideas effect the basket's whole, ie your head and the good ideas that might pertain from it.
sorry for the late response.

i'm saying as philosophers. not as police.
as in everyone should do that for themselves. they will see, getting rid of rotten and spoiled ideas that their basket does even better to contain fresh fruit and fruit that isn't spoiling.
a metaphor.

ah lol gotcha..
yeah that makes sense... i wonder if 'ideas' includes bad trains of thought or habits, like i notice if i slip on my no smoking policy the next few days i will have phantom visions implanted in my brain of convenience store checkouts and cigarette packets, the tobacco beckoning me to partake in my destruction (which can get really unhealthy mentally imo if i do)..
