What's the point? Why not make up your own philosophical system at that point?

Fiction is stupid.

>Hurr durr what if there was a magical world where my worldview was objectively right and everyone that disagrees with me is evil, stupid and dies or is humiliated

How am I supposed to take this seriously? It's all just propaganda.

All this philosophical bs is really great right up until you need to get a job. People like Plato were only able to philosophize because they had servants to do shit for them. How was Buddha able to not starve while he spent all that time meditating? Surely people were giving him shit. Even Jesus and his disciple were only able to wander around preaching because Jesus was able to magically multiply the handouts they got. Fuck philosophy.
