the obsession with surface level philosophy

[egyptianatheist]

Most retarded online teenagers are not interested in philosophy. They want to sound intelligent and feel different

They absorb quotes and labels like nihilism or stoicism as identities, using them to excuse passivity, weakness, and inaction. Saying “nothing matters” becomes a shitty brainless excuse to avoid accountability and not a conclusion they reached through thinking

Real philosophy is uncomfortable because it demands discipline, consistency, and the willingness to face harsh truths about yourself. Most fags who larp avoid that and perform depth instead

Nah I’d rather be a LDARist

 

[Rapemaxxer]

There are retards out there who unironically believe Nietzsche was a nihilist and yet have the audacity to enumerate philosophy among their "interests"

I dislike Philosophy on the base that it's usually more talk than action.

And that Philosophy enjoyers are either the most based individuals or the biggest faggots.

Doesn't make any difference if it's not surface level. When I was in university I knew some philosophy graduates, they had top grades and knew all about it, and yet they were some of the most shallow people I had ever met.

women on tiktok love buying philosophy books to put on their shelf and never read and show people to virtue signal

Not all philosophy is practical. Most of it is abstract and theoretical

A common misconception

Saying “nothing matters” becomes a shitty brainless excuse to avoid accountability and not a conclusion they reached through thinking

You can be a nihilist and still live a life that involves those things

Practice without theory is blind; theory without practice is sterile.

 

[poorenglishcel]

I am the same type of retard but it's joever. I don't like philosophy, it's cope.

They are right nothing matters

Precisely to avoid making that mistake, I’m delving into philosophy from scratch, although I had already read some texts by Nietzsche, Rousseau, and Plato. I watched a video by a guy very well versed in the discipline who recommended starting with Montaigne’s essays, which is what I’m doing now. He then mentioned a few books by José Ingenieros, Ortega y Gasset, and a priest whose name I can’t remember. Once I finish all those introductory texts, I’ll move on to the primary sources, starting with the Presocratics using Frederick Copleston’s guide A History of Philosophy. I’m totally convinced that philosophy is the most useful discipline you can learn; normies hate it, but elites seem obsessed with it. After all, if you don’t think, someone else will do it for you.

Just read all platonic dialogues, it's all you need. Start from Alcibiades I

The other day some nigga said to me I only need to read Aristóteles for ethics.
I disagree, man. Hegel lead to marxism and so on and so on. So in my opinion all the great philosophers deserve to be studied, they shape the world like it or not.
Despite that, thanks a lot for the recommendation.

I think historically this has been a common theme. One can view religious dogma and philosophical "awakening" through sermon as evidence. Most of the normie church goes, exclaim the sanctitude of their dogma but havent actually read the bible, and supplemental philosophical materials associated, i.e. aquinas or whatever school of thought they choose.

This. My main concern is first-principles reasoning and practical outcomes; anything else feels like mental masturbation

Yes, of course all philosophy is important if you want to understand the ideas that have shaped the world. I meant what is needed to find the truth, at least in my current view, Plato is the most important. Even if the person has the impression he is an idiot, he is the first one who has a corpus and so he is the most influential one.

Oh ok understand what you are saying now.
Have you studied philosophy?

I study only informally, but I've extensively read through the years, all dialogues in the platonic corpus, kant's critiques, several marx's books, perennialist philosophers, american transcendentalism and even chinese daoists.

Being cynical is the easiest thing in the world, it easy way out because it absolves you of all obligation to try and put in any hard work.

Yes, recognise that nothing truly matters but that doesn't mean you should just give up and LDAR, you should aim to make the most of this situation by developing mastery of your emotions and willpower, if there's nothing you can do to change something, you shouldn't let yourself be crushed by it and more importantly don't lie to yourself about it and convince yourself that the truth isn't real . Realise that that ultimately, you were dealt a shit hand but there's no gain in being sad about it, maximise your happiness and stay true to yourself. That's essentially the whitepill.

I like your way of thinking and I largely agree with it. Can’t you have sex? Well, that sucks, but you can’t reduce your existence to that. There are many other things to do and enjoy in life, and if you genuinely didn’t think so, you would have already taken your own life
