    Do you hardline one branch of thought and consider yourself a Capital letter kind of person? A Stoic? An Absurdist? An Existentialist? Or do you not even think about stupid nerd s*** like that at all? Or have you created your own philosophy of life using bits and pieces of others?

    remember, economic systems are not philosophies

    Generally speaking I've found the most peace with a more stoic approach to life, but my personal mantra for the past 8 or so years has been:

    Time & Energy. Time is what we're given, energy is what we can control.

    Not like one school of thought, but yeah kinda but it stays evolving tho

    I will say that your personal life philosophy does have a lot to do with your philosophy on society more broadly whether you consciously try to reconcile the two or not. As a wise Russian guy once said one cannot live in society and be free from society

    If it makes sense to me then I'll believe it. I have to believe in something just to keep going and not become insane. But don't become so naive as to think I've figured it all out. People have been debating the age old questions forever, what makes me (or anyone else) so special

    One thing would be that what I value and spend time on the most is being and doing things as opposed to having things. I'm more concerned as a person with certain abilities and traits than as a consumer. I don't want my identity to be tied to posessions, and I dont want to spend too much time on trying to have things as opposed to actually doing things. For me money spent on a vacation where I'm actually having valuable experiences is much better spent than on a luxury good.

    A posession is at the end of the day completely alien to you, it's not as real and also much easier to lose, and developing yourself as an active person doing things is much more fulfilling than being a consumer.

    This is also why I said that it does have to do with a broader social a***ysis @op , because this is essentially based on Marxist humanism.

    "The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being."

    I used to be a stoic, but I’m down bad so can’t really say I’m worthy of the title
