Oh, okay. So I assume you were using it in a jocular fashion, then. If literally, I can't wrap my head around using navel-gazing as an aid to meditation or reflection, mainly because I can't wrap my head around enough to see into my own navel without getting an achy neck and shoulders.
And that's why being a philosopher or philosophy professor is like the best job ever. All you have to do is sit around and gaze at your navel, if you're a philosopher; sit around with a bunch of college students and... I guess gaze at each other's navels, if you're a philosophy professor. And that latter would maybe be nice, since so many college girls have nice navels to gaze at.
Uh... where were we?
Oh yeah. I'm glad you didn't enjoy a self-centered take on philosophy/morality. I can't stand relativist ethics, and subjectivism/egoism are within that school of thought. But if you're going to try and develop a comprehensive philosophy, you'll want to be knowledgeable about all the schools of thought and philosophical theories that history has given us, if only just to know you're not working on something that's already been done. =0
