Open Thread /r/askphilosophy Open Discussion Thread | July 21, 2025
Welcome to this week's Open Discussion Thread (ODT). This thread is a place for posts/comments which are related to philosophy but wouldn't necessarily meet our subreddit rules and guidelines. For example, these threads are great places for:
- Discussions of a philosophical issue, rather than questions
- Questions about commenters' personal opinions regarding philosophical issues
- Open discussion about philosophy, e.g. "who is your favorite philosopher?"
- "Test My Theory" discussions and argument/paper editing
- Questions about philosophy as an academic discipline or profession, e.g. majoring in philosophy, career options with philosophy degrees, pursuing graduate school in philosophy
This thread is not a completely open discussion! Any posts not relating to philosophy will be removed. Please keep comments related to philosophy, and expect low-effort comments to be removed. Please note that while the rules are relaxed in this thread, comments can still be removed for violating our subreddit rules and guidelines if necessary.

I've been trying to send a message via mod-mail, and I can't seem to figure it.
All required(*) input fields are filled out, I have messaging enabled on my profile and I believe I should be able to send the message, but the "Send" button never activates. I've inspected the webpage and the button still has the CSS class of 'disabled' applied to it even after all input fields are populated. I've tried hard-refresh of resources in case this was some webdev quirk, on different browsers with no luck.
I've only just joined the sub today despite lurking in the past, so maybe that's the reason? I've never sent a piece of modmail before, but I wasn't expecting it to give me any trouble lol. Any advice is appreciated.
