Imagine believing you arrived at those conclusions, completely neglecting the ocean of ideas you are constantly immersed in.

>The Kabbalah and golden dawn/etc are all at odds with the "abrahamic" God and what He prescribes.
lol. The Old Testament itself is a Kabbalistic document that's been filtering Jews and Gentiles alike since it's creation. The Zohar literally contains a Kabbalistic explication of the Pentateuch!

Some of you just shouldn't speak.

The funny thing is that most scientists have a pretty rudimentary grasp of the philosophy of science, adhere to some shit they learned when they were 19 and in full on /lit-mode. If you look at big important scientists though they tend to be more sensitive to the issues.

Keep in mind that the "neo-Kantian" revisionists on this deal with things like non-Euclidian space, and Kant himself was wrong about particular details. He thought that a certain kind of spatial relativity implied the impossibility of enantiomorphs (left/right handed versions of things). But I don't think there's much else there in terms of a "refutation" of Kant's basic idea. (I'm not suggesting you agree/disagree with that, just clarifying.)

Adderall, and don't force yourself to do something you don't enjoy. If you want to be interested but can't muster the motivation, watch videos on whatever topic you are interested in and see if you can't gin up enthusiasm to open the source.

It's no worse of an idea than anything in psychoanalysis, which says you can cure disease by literally just becoming aware of something. It's no worse than placebo explanation.

There are some veins of philosophy where this is especially true (I think "continentalists" broadly are guilty of this). But a lot of philosophy, particularly "analytic" and within the last 80 years or so, is not extremely hard to engage. Just to pick a random example, Kripke's Naming and Necessity.

>Descartes and Gorgias both admitted that they knew nothing,

You didn't get very far with Descartes, did you?
