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.

      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.
