if you want to get into philosophy, STOP trying to get into philosophy.

Stop reading and listening to Other people.

Go outside, or stay inside and THINK. Think about every fucking thing you can possibly think of. Stare at a tree for 5 hours. Close your eyes and listen to birds sing. Let an ant crawl on your hand. Watch a spider build a web. Watch the sunrise, stare at the sun, and watch the sunset all in the same day, then watch the stars and moon all night.

Find a quiet spot, and make some noise. Find a loud place, and find quietness there. Stand in a river and catch a fish with your hands.

GO
DO
THINGS!

stop reading, and sucking greek dick.
If you want to become a philosopher, first KNOW this, the only thing you NEED to KNOW about philosophy; you cant learn wisdom!

point and fact. you cant learn philosophy.

when someone tells you to start with the Greeks. Fuck that. rub dirt on your face.
When someone tells you to read Nietzsche. Fuck that. go for a walk.
when someone tells you to take a philosophy class. Fuck that!
sit in a dark room and sing a song you make up as you go.


THIS is how you "get into" philosophy.

FUCK all this shit about "you need to read this, or that" its bullshit.

When you start thinking, and find yourself thinking too much; stop thinking. start feeling.
write down what you think and feel, and then continue thinking and feeling.

Read your own writings, and then use THAT to get into philosophy.

>YOU should be your favorite philosopher

Now if your philosophy is shit, thats up to you to decide. If you share it, others will tell you. if you find a better philosophy, dont trash yours, refine it and make it better. Dont start on a base of regurgitation. Improve your philosophy with understanding and wisdom, not knowledge and learning.
