True, but they were also shit tier philosophers. The chad philosophers are Plato, Spinoza, Aquinas, Hegel, Marx, Wittgenstein, Foucault, etc. Some more virgin philosophers are Aristotle, Descartes, Russell, Locke, Rawls, Chomsky, etc.

I have built up a metal defense against developing feelings for anyone. Firstly, because I've only experienced false starts in my relationships and secondly, because falling in love would be the only thing that would stop me from going to teach in Japan.

It's impossible to talk about this without being called a weeb, but I am unironically saving myself for a Japanese woman. I know this is a terrible idea. I barely speak the language and everyone I've talked to said it took them at least a year to get to the point where they could hold a conversation in Japanese. Even my closest friends don't believe in me, and I can tell that my parents aren't one hundred percent on board with me marrying a non-christian, but at least they respect my decision.

But I have to go. When I went to Tokyo on a study abroad trip I made contact with something. I don't know what it was or when exactly it happened, but I feel like I was briefly able to interface with the Japanese lobe of the universal unconscious. Ever since then I've had dreams of being back there.

I am in the process of making peace with the idea of living celibate if it comes to that. I must find the source of that sensation. But if I find love there, then I can proudly say I've made anime real.

I've lived a live of good and reasonable decisions, I'm thinking it might be time to make some bad ones.
