Philosophy is in the mind of the philosopher. If you not are the philosopher you cannot observe the philosophers philosophy directly. All you can do is observing the philosophers philosophy indirectly through words or similar expressions coming from the philosopher. In other words we are extracting limited amount of information about the philosophy from the philosopher. The words we observe from the philosopher we can call implied philosophy. The implied philosophy only implies something about the philosophy of the philosopher. The implied philosophy can sometimes sound like gibberish that often reflects upon the poor philosophy of the non-philosopher that like to call himself a philosopher. However, that the implied-philosophy sounds gibberish can just as well reflect upon the observer that not is a true philosopher and thereby not can distinguish dirt from gold. Implied philosophy can be skewed and biased. If we observe the implied philosophy from a series of philosophers we will get what we can call the philosophy-surface. The philosophy-surface is dynamic and changes over time. The implied philosophy-surface can go through regime shifts, from periods with great philosophy to periods with mostly gibberish. The implied philosophy is the mask of the philosophers philosophy. Only true philosophers can see straight through the mask of the philosopher or the so-called philosopher. And what you read now is not philosophy. This is implied philosophy. I am not a philosopher.
When I was a king's guard (in Norway) I had a lot of time to think, like figuring out how many minutes it would take to boil a egg in my hat during the summer, that I am sure was just as warm as the British Queens guards hats.
