    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
