  7. How did we get our start?

    Our origins are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Unemployed Philosophers Guild's birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Others argue it dates from the High Middle Ages.

    More recently, historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to New York City in the late 90s, when two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.

    If you're unemployed, how come you have a job?

    We are employed, just not as philosophers.

I purchased this item for a friend who is an avid sailor. This gift was affordable, and great quality. My friend said that she has never seen anything like this, and is very excited to use this. The mug is super sturdy, and can also be great to use when bored. The design is also unique, and well thought out.

It sparks a conversation when people see it. The handle does seem to be a little fragile. The original mug was sent to me as a birthday gift. However, the post office must have played football with the box. The mug handle was shattered when I received it even though it was packed with bubble wrap and stuffing.

I'm a novice sailor, even less than a novice & my beau is an expert & used to race his sailboat and WIN.
SO, what a GREAT way to learn a little about knots.
Yes, beau was VERY impressed that I took the initiative!
The mug is ATTRACTIVE, sturdy and likeable.
For me, great
For an EXPERT sailor, it would be appreciated!
HOWEVER, first cup of coffee in the A.M. after weakening & tie a knot? I don't think so! LATER!!! Ha!
Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Anlass und simultane Motivation um Knoten zu lernen.
Reviewed in Germany on July 20, 2023
Verified Purchase
Beim Frühstück, sowie sämtlichen anderen Mahlzeiten und Gelegenheiten ist die Tasse auf dem Boot wiederzufinden. Die Kinder trinken gerne aus dieser und werden immer wieder motiviert, die Knoten zu erlernen. Mit ein wenig Begleitung und Übung klappt es bei unserem großen Gut. Gerne liegt er auch in der Kajüte und übt für sich während er beispielsweise ein Hörspiel hört. Im Hafen, aber auch beim Segeln, kann er sein Wissen dann direkt praktisch umsetzen. Die einzige Kritik, welche ich jedoch als solche nicht anmahne ist, das die Tasse nur mit den Englischen Bezeichnungen der Knoten verfügbar ist. Eine deutschsprachige Ausführung wäre super, ist jedoch meiner Recherche entsprechend nicht verfügbar. Da ich in Englischer Sprache gekauft habe und es diesbezüglich nichts zu monieren gibt, fällt das nicht in die Wertung.
Tolles Produkt und für den Segelnachwuch sehr zu empfehlen!
