Learn a vocabulary of philosophical terms and a philosopher's name or two, then just intertwine them in sentences about other things. For this example I chose politics, and I wrote this in less than 10 mins. The less sense it makes the better and buzzwords are a big plus: Rawl’s choice to move to the original position is flawed for two equally important reasons.
Wittgensteinian Challenges to Distributive Justice, Identity Politics, and the Historical Perspective
The first is the challenge offered by Identity Politics; namely that historic inequality binds rational actors to detail-rich particulars of everyday life, and thus any position behind the veil of ignorance ignores rooted inequality.
The second is the more classic Wittgensteinian critique of the limits of our uses of language. There is no Archimedean point outside of the language game that empowers us with the methods to even accurately formulate a conception of an original position and a veil of ignorance in the first place.
The stratum of Identity Politics theorists that posit the reconstruction of a Rawlsian original position that takes into account historic inequality, in their haste to amend inequality make the same mistake of Rawls in attempting to ontologize a metaphysical position from which they can construct solutions to, or situational negations of, inequality.
It is equally impossible to entirely reject Rawl’s Archimedean point. Other Identity Politics thinkers who reject the project of amending a Rawlsian original position, are also ultimately at fault for basing their separatist-minded aims in the context of that which they originally rejected. In positing certainty of being in a perspective reactionarily historicized, they form a theory based on negation. This negation fails to find meaning within the language game without it’s reference to it’s original formulation from which it reacted from.
Thus, Rawls' original formulations are equally detrimental in their role as foundations in both strains of Identity Politics.
Accordingly, Rawls' theories can be said to have fundamentally changed the language game political theorists are engaged in. This change has led to dead ends in regards to theories which have been founded fundamentally by virtue of their critiques, restructuring, or rejection of Rawls.

You done fucked up, you 24-karat retard. This is how you get phony 1-star reviews. At least you used a nom de plume.

No one will bat an eye if you had just shared an excerpt of your writing or even a PDF of the entire thing. Been here for years, and every time I saw someone share a link to buy their work, they get shit on more than just their writing.

Nonetheless, good job on getting something out there. You're already ahead of 98% of this board.

The idea of "doing something" with a degree seems absurd to me now that I have one.

Being educated makes life 90% better.

I'm a mushroom delivery man, making 25k a year.

I'm about 200 pages into a novel.

I spend about 6 hours a day thinking and recording audio while I drive.

I can read any book and understand it.

I had a great time at uni.

What did I do with my philosophy degree? Loved wisdom, anon.

You barely need a biography to begin with since every one of his works can explain who he is.

No shit

It's the logical evolution of internet/forum lingo. Speech in this format was bound to turn on itself and transform into a deeply symbolic and self-aware meta-speech.
