90% of philosophy is complete garbage, and that includes the so-called "greats" like Nietzsche or Hegel

I've been thinking about this for a couple of years. It's as if people try to outsource their views on reality/unreality by reading the books of the sanctioned great philosophers.

You have to remember though, not only were these guys scribbling their syphilis-addled thoughts over 200 years ago for the most part, they also lived in an incredibly different time to where we live now. Although, that isn't fully a reason to throw philosophy in the garbage can because some things are eternally true no matter what time period you are living in. But it's a gripe I've had about the entire subject.

Hardly any of these philosophers have came up with anything remotely worth listening to. And what's worse, is that many of these people have been forgotten and our modern philosophers like Jordan Peterson are a poor imitation of even THOSE people. I think this is what gives the 'greats' more credence because if you have any amount of intelligence you will realize that JP is a sell out retard and has absolutely nothing worth talking about and you'll begin reading the older stuff. Andrew Tate is even considered somewhat of a philosopher these days which is fucking hilarious. He's a con artist that's all.

But that is a huge trap. You will become mired in the psychotic thoughts of a retard from 200 years ago believing you have found the answer to all of lifes questions. In reality, you have closed yourself off to coming to your own very specific (and probably very interesting) conclusions. You look at everything through the lens of these philosophers and you don't actually end up living your own life, even if you intended to use their views as a guide rather than a lifestyle. There are quite a few people I know who are like this and I am grateful I never turned into that.

One of the biggest philosophical traps is this ideal of living minimalistically. Being minimalistic is actually a good thing in itself but many people take that to mean cutting people and things out of your life, not because they are harmful but because it's "too much". A lot of people that subscribe to minimalism fall into the same but opposite category of obsessives as materialistic people. Materialistic people gather resources for the sake of it and to feel they are moving up in the world. They get dopamine from acquiring the latest new thing. Minimalists throw out everything they have regardless of its sentimental value and they get dopamine from it because they believe they are moving forward in the world by having absolutely nothing to their name except the essentials. Having things with sentimental value is incredibly important for growth and happiness, regardless of what it is.

You are better off reading the story-based works of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis than you are reading any of the philosophical texts of the last 200 years. Of course these books have certain leanings in their work (especially C.S. Lewis as he was a very religious Christian - moreso than Tolkien in my opinion) but the fantasy stories they came up with are unbelievably good. Overall though, you are better reading the Bible if I am honest.

Some works you should read:
- Tolkien's- Hobbit/Lord of The Rings/Silmarillion
- C.S. Lewis's - Space Trilogy, The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity
- Bible - Specifically: Acts, Revelation, Proverbs, Genesis and the New Testament
- Corti - Rise of The House of Rothschild
- Gene Wolfe - Book of The New Sun Series

It is way more informative than some crazed loon who burned half his stuff in a psychotic rage for no reason.

Just because he was pagan-adjacent doesnt mean what he had to say was worth a shit

Also your description of the bible shows you havent read any of it. Maybe a bit of the new testament and thats it.

how can you cope this hard jew worshipper
Because I don't merely reject Christianity simpley because I grew up with it and I want to be edgy. I am long past that phase. I was once very much like you.

In fact, I was so in the rabbit hole of anti-christianity I probably know more about pagan line of thought than you do and have read much more interesting things on than you. Let me guess, you read Julius Evola aaaaaand that guy i forget his name, Jack Donavan or something like that? Been there done that.

Have you read Savitri Devi? You know, I was one of the first people to popularise that book amongst people in the right back in 2015? Same with John Zerzan when I founded the modern day anprim community with a couple lads on a whatsapp chat in the same year.

I only just managed to fix my sleep schedule again today. I think the protein shakes I was drinking had caffeine in it (lol at my iq) so I would go to the gym at like 8pm and be wired until 5am. Pass out then wake up at 4pm completely wasting the day. Had to buy a whey protein tub and I am glad I did, tastes pretty good

Stirner debunked all philosophies and entire normie bluepill world and Hegels and others bullshit in his The Ego and Its Own in which he debunked ENTIRE EXISTENCE. People claim that Stirner created another PHILOSOPHY. In the most part he just wrote truth of how world works, the objective truth even though he claims everything is relative.

Yeah when I was 14 I used to be interested in philosophy I would read about how life was meaningless and think I was a genius and better then everyone. That's 90% of modern day philosophy some high guys in a corner talking about how we live on a dirtball in the middle of nowhere and that everything is pointless.

Don't ya think reading and reacting against those guys famous for writing about the topics you're considering can be useful for refining your own views?

Maybe you can make an argument that their books will both convince you and trap you in their wrong way of looking at things, and so should be avoided. This is easier to argue for seeing as thought I have had this happen to me many times while reading philosophy, only to realize I've pretty much been tricked and my entire way of looking at things was wrong. If I was less careful I could've been stuck as seeing the world that one way.

Then again, that challenge from and refuting of philosophies that have trapped me are what have given me most of my ability. But maybe you can argue my ability is only in avoiding certain errors.

Yeah if someone says they relate to Nietzsche or like Albert Camus I automatically think they are a midwit. When I was a 14 year old edgy nihilist I used to think like that and I thought I was smarter then everyone cause I knew nothing matters.

My only excuse was being 14 not sure if the pot just stops these people from developing or if they naturally never moved past 14. So many annoying people who think shows like Rick and Morty are very deep. I hate these wannabe outsiders more then a normie who just watches football and drinks beer at least they aren't trying to be something they aren't. The Bible or anything written by the Greeks has more value then anything today most of philosophy is coping actions are beliefs what you do is who you really are.

philosophy is nerds scrambling and contorting the written language to convey ideas every 5 year old has thought of before

Yeah if someone says they relate to Nietzsche or like Albert Camus I automatically think they are a midwit. When I was a 14 year old edgy nihilist I used to think like that and I thought I was smarter then everyone cause I knew nothing matters.

But you do know that Nietzsche was extremely against nihlism and was trying to fight it his whole life right? And camus isnt a nihilist either, he tells you to rebel against the absurd

100%. It’s just a bunch of pseudo intellectual ancientcels doing mental gymnastics to explain why they get 0 pussy.

Meanwhile Chad was slaughtering ogres, incels and peasants becoming a war hero, then cooming in harems of whores. Breeding his dead enemies orphan daughters. Cleansing the gene pool of subhumanity
Basically master morality in a nutshell. Nietzsche is legit and his philosophy is basically your comment but in 1880s german vs book coping virgins like Kant.

He is a bit more nuanced though - would highly advise giving him a read.
 
I agree and I have a BA in philosophy from top 5 philosophy school in the world.

lol at faggot contrarians like op thinking saying "x acclaimed thing is actually not that good" makes them special or smarter than anyone else. its the kind of faggot pseudointellectualism thats on 4chan. surprised someone is talking like that here. yea cuz these guys and their ideas have been acclaimed for centuries by the smartest poeple on earth for NO reason, all these academics have been just lying to themselves for centuries :feelstastyman:

i don't even claim to be smart enough to understand most of these guys but i'm not gonna lie to myself that its all secretly bs cuz i'm insecure about not understanding it like OP lmao. sour grapes at not understanding is real reason OP is downing these dudes lol

legit only argument you put forward is "durr they're old" "durr they're psychotic and have syphilis" and random insults. no the bs ideology you can come up with yourself is probably worthless, almost no one can come up with anything truly interesting and original , including myself in this
 
only like .1% of the population can come up with actual original ideas. basically the 130+ iq and top percentile of creatives. and thats what these philosophers are.
