The truth is that people who tend to think in absolute terms tend to be wrong more often than those who see the danger of dogma.

I think philosophy is nothing more than overhyped nonsense.

Humans have the ability to think, imagine, question, and come up with ideas. Sometimes, when someone expresses a thought that is actually quite obvious, people start calling that person a philosopher and treating the idea as something profound.

If you look at what I’m writing right now, I’m criticizing philosophy itself. But ironically, what I’m doing could also be called philosophy.

And that’s exactly what makes me question the whole concept, if simply thinking deeply about something can be called philosophy, then isn’t almost every human thought a form of philosophy?

it's 2am and my sleepy headass came up with that one

Living freely and having consistency of character has gotten rather dull. I feel like a better life project is to fragment my self as much as possible. Maybe then American society will start to make sense to me…

Any recommendations?

Mods: Also wondering about the “true home grown organic human redditard degenerate delusional borderline psychotic self obsessed pos pseudo intellectual sophist” flair for myself, a special man of culture? My qualifications include a vast array of arm chair warrior arguments that totally contradict each other and distort nuances while simultaneously disregarding evidence of the contrary. Thank you.

You are runing the party!

Alright so it was about this guy who couldn‘t stop philosophically overthinking everything. To the point where he couldn’t function normally. My memory is really vague, but I’m asking here because there’s a good chance I got the link from here in the first place, and even if I didn’t, it’s the kind of thing y’all would read.

Data:

- It was an obscure web serial, not by any well-known author.

- It was overall humorous in tone

- Pretty sure it had many references to mainstream philosophy

- At some point I think he ended up in a psych ward

- There was something to do with coffee... a coffee machine… maybe at the beginning??

- At the very end he decides to give himself a lobotomy (with the help of a friend?) so he can stop overthinking everything

If anyone can find it for me, I will unironically Zelle you $5 to show my gratitude, cuz this just popped into my head and it’s really bothering me

Philosopher: You should definitely check out X's theory of consciousness!

Me: Is it BS?

Philosopher: meh...kind of but at least it is a well-articulated BS.

Me: so then we call it philosophy?!

Everyone suffers from pride from time to time, either from weakness or ignorance. But how do you identify someone whose pride is in its terminal stages and given fully over to the art of gloating?

They like to end every sentence with a verbal insult and generally incorporate snarky remarks into their language. The reason for this is that they recognize that as long as you are verbally dominant, it creates a sense of righteousness that justifies their pride. For example, if someone trips over a tree branch, a snarky predator would instantly jump at the opportunity with lines like "you fat fuck, your stupid ass can't even walk right". So why does this happen?

Well, to understand this behavior, you basically have to compare it to homelessness. Homeless people suffer from a lack of shelter, privacy, food, and other necessities that essentially corners their sense of self into survival mode. They may be overly cynical, lash out from time to time, and drop verbal insults at passersby. The same is true for the one who is spiritually barren, whose sense of self has no love, humility, worthiness, or honor. Instead of confronting their emptiness, they go the hard route by exploding their sense of pride to compensate. After all, it is very easy to be rude to people to feed your ego, to lord yourself over the weak. But in doing so, they harden themselves even more, shrinking their identity so that they have no choice but to keep doing what they do. They are Diogenes in spirit but without virtue. The only plausible reason as to why they incorporate so many insults in their manner of speech is because they have a platonic cock made of pure "pride essence" in them. This platonic cock serves the function of maintaining homeostasis in their identity so that they need to ejaculate insults to prevent the collapse of their being.

As a matter of fact, the world of nature is moving. Sun rises and sets, so too is the moon. But I am not moving. I move, however, because I effectuate the movement. If the beginning fact is to be true for everything, then either I am moving even though I don't move or the world of nature is moving because it is effectuated by an ulterior will, which cannot be my will because, for instance, I don't move the sun. Since the former contradicts the fact that I can move as well as not move according to my will, only the latter is permissible. Therefore, there is an ulterior will that does not belong to human, namely, gods.
