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.
Wow, what a quote from Nietzsche: …"This aristocratic praxis began to crystallize in Human All Too Human where the thinker envisioned a future utopia based on suffering. Spiritual suffering ‘could be achieved if society was split into two classes: the caste of forced labour and the caste of idlers, or those capable of true leisure and capable at the same time as suffering deeply’ ”.

I can now go to sleep knowing my deep seated resentment for Nietzsche was in fact more than justified.
