I used to be interested in philosophy back in highschool, but now it’s just not doing it for me. Alot of it just seems to be like I think therefore I am, but if I wasn’t I wouldn’t be because if I was I would, but if I couldn’t, then I wouldn’t be able to, and if i… like bro maybe I’m dumb, but wtf are these dudes on about??? 😭

On another note, some of the worst of it like Nihilism goes so well hand in hand with capitalism.

    Very interesting.

    What do you like so much about Confucius? As someone with zero experience with him

        Oof, damn, yeah I’ve been there that fucking sucks. I would spend a whole ass hour writing a perfect response in an internet argument just to press one stupid effing button and nuke myself.

        But that sounds really nice, actually. I definitely think compassion is underrated. It’s cool that this is the philosopher that (IIRC) many Chinese build off of. I will have to check him out when I’m up to read some philosophy.

            Yes, I love that. Very kind and wise. People are a product of their circumstances and most don’t have the tools to escape it, simple. I myself don’t even truly hate our enemies (most of the time), I know they are just as hurt by these systems and victims of a high pressure current.
