A girl walks past me by.

I'm not esl but I have an American education and these two sentences are messing with my brain. Can anyone help me figure out the deal here? Which one is correct? Are they both correct?

I'm the opposite. I spend all of my time comparing myself to others and then coming up short and fucking seething at my inadequacies.

There's a particular artist I stalk online who is everything I'm not - writes prolifically, draws well and prolifically, has a successful IRL career in an academic field, etc. etc. He's ~29 or 30, I'm 23. My goal is to beat where he's at when I'm his age. In the meantime I sit here growing increasingly incendiary as I watch him do things that I want to do and be who I want to be.

It's good motivation to practice but it's not fun.

Anyway this all became more heavy and personal than I intended or than anyone is interested in, I expect, so I might draw a line under the blogposting here.

Now we see the plebian philosopher reduced to hysterical ranting as his world collapses around him. Face with the prospect of no jobs and a life of impotent irrelevance he screeches about how his overly-flattering philosopher-centric interpretation of history is the only possible, objectively correct one (rather than a niche and very nearly objectively incorrect one); then he creates a false dichotomy of science versus philosophy to try and argue that you can't have one without the other.

The fact that you unironically suggest that Hitler listened and deeply considered the input of intellectuals and philosophers rather than just having dissidents sent to the camps suggests to me that the only person ignorant of history here is (You). To try and pretend that the Second World War was somehow the product of philosophers (and so you better respect them and their influence!) is just fucking ridiculous.

>Economics, psychology, science are all just fields of philosophy which have become highly specialized
Ah yes, this old meme. "It's a doctorate of PHILOSOPHY you fucking nerd so that means that you're still technically a philosopher and so I still technically win! HA HA SUCKED IN."

Science and philosophy have nothing in common. For starters, science is actually useful. That said, it's not one or the other. Scientists do utilise "philosophy" in the aforementioned scientific ethics committees. They just don't need fucking philosophers to do it for them. In fact, philosophers couldn't do it for them even if they were permitted to try, because studying philosophy is a waste of time that has no application whatsoever.

I'm done listening to your drivel. Enjoy the next two years of your "degree".
