[Normieville]

title.

 

[LordNorwood]

Depends on the philosophy

 

[Dogs]

Technically everything besides Yeshua is cope

 

[auboutduprecipice]

yup. i've read tons of books on metaphysics, ethics, history of philosophy. all cope. it goes no where

 

[Deleted member 2846]

as much as i like philosophy, yes it’s a cope

 

[LordNorwood]

Niggas in here have never read Nietzsche I see

Same. It positively influenced my academic career but that's about it... People would presume I knew more about topics therefore granting me more esteem which lead to a boost in my ego. Apart from the ego boost it didn't change much.

nietzsche sucks

Philosophy ended at cogito ergo sum. All that comes afterwards is self-serving rambling.

It feels good to read, especially when reading people like Nietzsche who was such a crackpot

 

[Cody]

Ask why study philosophy in the first place

jean paul on aesthetics, schopenhauer on ethics and metaphysics, and heidegger's phenomenology all mog nietzsche

Hilarious part is Nietzsche irrevocably BTFOs cogito ergo sum in like one paragraph in Beyond Good and Evil, R.I.P. Descartes, mogged to absolute death by a mustachioed german, how sad

A friend of mine dropped out of med school to study Philosophy and Politics. I feel bad for the dude, he's pretty smart but the fact that he made that move makes me think otherwise...

Schopenhauer was so blackpilled. Impossible to be more blackpilled than him tbh

Heidegger, another point for moral relativism, simply furthers us from any sort of unified truth...

legit. only thing i disagree with him about is that the pinnacle of morality is compassion.

Yeah, compassion exists beyond morality imo

Unless he has generational wealth he's not "street smart"

This is something I don't understand in the west (if that's where you live)

Why do so many pursue useless degrees that will make you in debt for the many years to come whole it doesn't even return you much? Do they this just for the status or ego (to aquire a degree) or just to have that college experience?

 

[Normieville]

Can confirm, have not read Schopenhauer. My two cents is that compassion is only ethical when done with enough self consciousness. This is because an act of compassion comes from conscious intent to help, rather than compete with others, which is what i believe to be our default mode.

 

[OFFICER_HENRY]

No. It helps us understand our situation.

From Australia, I'd say most university students here have no fkn clue how detached university is from the operatives of society. Most kids at uni can sustain their adolescent period of wonderland like mystery about the world as long as there boomer parents don't actually understand the state of the economy of this country
Here's a question. Does anyone know any GOOD female philosophers? Serious question.

 

[auboutduprecipice]

hannah arendt may be the only decent one but even then...

She seems alright. Will suss

I hate to say it
I mean I absolutely hate to say it
But there legitimately are no decent female philosophers

 

[Blackout.xl]

Say it with me boyos

politics is COPE. Philosophy is COPE. Reading is COPE. Everything is cope unless you’re fucking girls

The only thing Nietzsche managed to BTFO was his own health.

Keep coping last man

 

[betamanlet]

Keep coping last man

I stopped reading books the day I turned 25, as do most adults after reaching a certain point of maturity. Since then I have been cope-free.

 

[LordNorwood]

I stopped reading books

Oh and it shows, it shows

It's not pleasant. I think philosophical ventures into the unknown are generally done by a disproportionately small number of people, whom of which are at the extreme end of the intellectual spectrum, which also happen to all be men. Not everyone’s capable of this and those who are, generally have left the safety of societies consensus. And i'm not talking about people who discuss philosophy, i'm talking about people who've CHANGED the game

 

[betamanlet]

Oh and it shows, it shows

You don't say. My wisdom is boundless.

 

[LordNorwood]

You do have an intelligence halo due to your avi's impressive forehead

 

[Tiddlywink]

The only philosophy worth pursuing is stoicism.

 

[Normieville]

Say it with me boyos

politics is COPE. Philosophy is COPE. Reading is COPE. Everything is cope unless you’re fucking girls

Even then, is it really that important to women how many incl thinkers you've read?

The only philosophy worth pursuing is stoicism.

Maybe. I doubt it though

 

[LordNorwood]

The only philosophy worth pursuing is stoicism.

Literally cope

 

[betamanlet]

Lord is being nice to betamanlet. Alas, betamanlet's friendship cannot be won by flattery.

 

[Normieville]

Literally cope

Agreed.

I never started reading books in my entire life. Ded srs. I have too much adhd to finish movies let alone books just lol

Most think that have to read book chronologically from cover to cover. This is inefficient. Especially someone with adhd tendencies will benefit from taking a look at the table of contents and only reading the chapters that seem interesting. Then by the time you are finished with those you can move on if the chapters you just read did not pique further interest towards the rest of the book. Only works for non-fiction though.

That's basically me doing research on certain topics. I suffer greatly from short attentionspan.

 

[sub6manletnozygos]

Yes. Why? Because it is bro

 

[Drugs]

Yes. Still interesting tho ngl.
