philo - sophy
Greek for Love of wisdom
Philosophy has a wider remit than you believe, it’s not just white guys in all black , cogitating and smoking cigarettes
it’s people trying to develop new computers, from strategies, think about patterns in their life i could go on
Awful thread, you're no better than them with your surface level takes
nope he’s correct
i read/study for enrichment still but i’ve been getting back into fiction and reconnecting with my imagination
the investment and time you spend on studying philosophy is not worth the payoff at all, i became very disillusioned when i would read all these thinkers and then talk to people who also “studied” (just watched a TED talk or a video essay on a topic) let alone the general attitude that people have towards philosophy in general (it being speculative, theoretical pretentious nonsense)
so tl;dr: me no care, i dabble for fun still though
yessir mfs shouldn’t approach every philosophy like it’s a strict religion
"morons think practicing “Stoicism” means waking up at 2am to deadlift and acting like the Terminator around women."

if philosophy isn’t practical or inspiring i struggle to see any use

that mindset is why im here
it is what it is 😝 ✌🏼
nearly everything is a metaphor once you realize that you’ll just take it as an a***ysis more than a subscribed way of life, i do the same thing towards religion
facts. a philosopher scammed me out of my life savings
Socrates himself said he shouldn't be taken as an authority on anything
and that’s why he was executed
