If I might ask a couple questions (please be civil and straightforward in replying):
What, so far as you believe, are the nature and boundaries of philosophical discourse?
What opinions, if any, do you think are fundamentally inadmissible in modern philosophical discourse, and why?
-
Nothing is sacred in Philosophy.
Everything goes, from Nietzsche to Sartre, it goes down a black hole!
The only "boundary" is which side gives up screaming, but the matter is also a neat tangent with professional scholarship and building a formal understanding of relationships that lead to such conclusions.
And frankly most "philosophers" and "scholars" are pretty piss-poor and need some brawny scholarly balls IMO.

Philosophical discourse is limited by the size of one's ego, the endurance of one's drug supply, and the tolerance of one's audience for one's bull****.
-
Either I don't understand the question or it doesn't make any sense to begin with.
-
the limitations on philosophical discussion exist purely in the mind of the participants and their audience. The whole point of philosophy is to discuss life, the universe and everything in order to find the answer that suits what is known from the perspective of the philosopher, be the answer 42 or something more or less profound.

Like with most discourse, philosophical discourse effectively ends when somebody gets compared to Hitler.

im a nihilist. i wont explain it because it kinda breaks down when you do.
-

Care to develop this question a bit? I don't quite understand its scope.
-
I think the most important thinking in and for modern times did Hans Jonas with his Imperative of responsibility.

short version, there is no meaning to anything. it just is
Nuke Nihilism
Burn it with Nuclear Fire
-
nuke all the things.

/*nukes nuke's nukes*/

As a nihilist you don't have to nuke all things because yo believe there is nothing that could be (nuked).
Do you know Decartes: "I think so I am"
The Nihilist answers "Couldn't I think without being?". (It's a bit like matrix)
And what is being, and what's the answer to live the universe and everything?

Yeah this thread is going nowhere.
-
I agree, but it's a harmless nowhere.
-
How about more serious questions?
like:
If the sky is itchy does it use skyscrapers?
-
i nuke there for i am.
-
Some people don't think it be like it is, but it do.
-
nuke the cave.
-
You know that you'll never reach the caves exit as empiric being.
But i have an idea.

Indeed. There is no limit on how extravagant constructs one can build, yet the limit where no one will give a **** anymore is quickly met.
Perhaps a hive mind culture would be more capable here? Or would it just implode in no time, when getting stuck on some particularly stupid idea..
-
"I'm a stand-up philosopher!"
"Oh, you mean a bull**** artist?"
-
All Philosophical Discourse will end when somebody adds up the numerical values of the letters in the word "math".
-
^ things to do while you are stoned.
nuke the weed. or give it to me and i will nuke it for you (while wondering if the people who programmed the computer from hhgttg knew how to typecast).
-
Da hatred for philosophy and philosophers in this thread is depressing.

Rule #1 of philosophical discourse is always ruthlessly belittle opposing viewpoints.
The topic was vague and concerned with scope, so Rule #1 demanded that the community make a preemptive thermonuclear strike on all philosophical discourse including its own.
The slate is clean, launch navel probe at your discretion.
-
nuke the preemptive nuclear strike.
nuke the naval too.
