>they're basically sophists who use formal logic to pseudo-rationalize their subjective preferences (or as analytic "philosophers" call them, "intuitions"). Had you read some Hegel you would have noticed immediatly how basic and stupid is the mistake over which the entire analytic tradition is grounded.

I spent a lot of time studying kantian philosophy before I decided to try college. Had to take a class on analytic philosophy. Started with moore and russell. Both obviously didn't fucking understand Kant. Wanted to just bang my head on my desk all semester. Prof and classmates were so into it. None of my classmates new who Kant was. Had to read Moore's proof that he had hands. Hurt so bad reading it. Had to read about Russell getting all worked up about 'negative existentials'. Was completely dumbfounded. Moore could understand transcendental ideality/empirical reality distinction. Notes on him by his own profs state he would constantly misread Kant. Russell completely ignores that Kant already showed existence is not a preditcate so his whole deal with negative existentials being self-contradicting subject-predicate propostions was a complete waste brain power. This was his whole impetus for his emphasis on finding the TRUE logical form of propositions. Bring this up to prof. Prof brushes me off. I really fucking hate college. I can't believe I have to pay for this shit.

Oddly enough I'm not a big fan of the beats beyond their attitude and personality. I can't speak to Kerouac because I've only read the subterraneans, but Thompson and Abbey are great acolytes / "contemporaries" of his style. In my mind Thompson and Kerouac are highschoolfringe-tier, and I stopped enjoying reading them after that period of my life. Now I just read comfy adventure novels, and am trying to stop doing drugs. I recommend pivoting to Abbey if Kerouac interests you.
