Who has come the closest to absolute truth?
Plato, The abrahamics, Modern physicists, Hermetics and Gnostics to name a few.

Plato's timaeus.
Pythagoras, at least the legendary/mythological perception of what he knew.
There's a number of math geniuses mentioned in Stella Maris.
Carl Jung's Aion.

There's certain things you read and they are like a lit match in the desert night and you realize there is much out in the darkness

They need it

See if you can guess who i am

*hint* I'm a fag

I was reading Sickness unto death, and an important part of it is the idea of the Self being aware of itself. Now, from this I was wondering if this is what Consciousness essentially is. But that would simply be knowing that you know stimuli, essentially proving that we're just biological machines. And yet this in turn relies on the idea that what we are aware of is something to be sensed, but what sense is the receiver of "ideas,"?

It is making my head hurt. What is "consciousness,". Is it something physical? It must be shouldn't it? Someone help...

>halfway through college I begin browsing /lit/, have only read 2 books in my life at this point
>start reading books that everyone here recommends: philosophy, history, essays and letters
>the more I read the more jaded I become
>start feeling disconnected from my peers since gossip and movies no longer make for interesting conversation topics
>6 years later no one invites me to parties or drinks anymore. existential dread permeates my daily life, feel detached from society and don't feel like I belong in the time period I was born
>every day before sleep my mind is assaulted by an excessive introspection. a maelstrom of every school of thought and idea I've come across in my readings trying to be digested by my brain late into the night, keeping it busy and leading to a feeling of exhaustion when I wake up
>even when awake I occasionally just stop what I'm doing and space out so I can more clearly think about things, people have noted on this and called me weird, like I'm detached from society

Why did you do this to me? You've ruined my life. How do I go back?
