Well, this post marks the point where the word "reddit" on 4chan has lost its meaning entirely. I mean, if "smoking" is reddit, why stop there? How about being left-handed, or cutting sandwiches diagonally, or tying your shoe laces? Is that reddit too? Is it possible that people who make these posts just assume "reddit" means "bad" so they use it when their deficient brain can't think of another word? Really, dumbass? Smoking of all things is "the most reddit thing in existence". Not White middle class self-flagellation; not spouting anti-Trump pro-Sanders soundbites; not circlejerking over progressive ideas, Star Wars, video games, and Black people; not homing terrible memes, repetitive jokes, and confirmation bias. Nope, it's just smoking.

Really should them, huh fellas?

Has reading philosophy ever left you satisfied with answers to the abstract questions of life, such as whether we have free will or what consciousness is?

In my case, every time I read philosophy I leave more confused than when I went in. All arguments start seeming preposterous, and even previously accepted premises are now in full doubt. The only tenable claims are that other claims can't be proved.

It seems that one must just embrace scepticism, and try to do something under the shaky foundations we have (science), otherwise they are doomed to idle in futile contemplation for the rest of their life.
