    Not "Do undo others before they undo you"?

    Yes Banno, that probably is better suited to the times in which we find ourselves living.

    So... what is the first rule of Philosophy Club?Banno

    If a club is an association of people united by a common interest or goal, then Philosophy Club is a club whose members are not united by a common interest or goal, a club without members. Its first rule might, therefore, be that it's not a club.

    Are you saying philosophers have no loyalty unless you feed it and enjoy killing wildlife?

    Can only wash with philosophy's club's pink bar of soap if you put it up your ass. That way we all share ideas that came out of our asses.

    The first rule is that the rule that can be spoken is not the first rule.Baden

    The first rule is that there cannot be a first rule that speaks about the impossibility of speaking the first rule.

    This is because any transgression of that would not be a self-referentially paradoxical statement that is true if false and false if true, but would rather be merely self contradictory.

    Thus there may be unspoken rules, but no unspeakable rules.

    PS. There is a different sense in which the first rule of Monty Python's philosophy club (where all the members are named 'Bruce') is unspeakable in today's cultural climate; and this is a politically correct sense of unspeakability. Does anyone remember it?

    Is this a form of brainwashing?
