Dude what bizarro eldritch realm are you living in that you are having SO much trouble with this? If someone says "I want to be a better person", what are they gonna do, put women's underwear over their heads, streak shit over their faces, and start talking in tongues? Are you thick? They're going to watch their temper, have self-control, eat clean, be considerate of others and what they might be going through, keep their minds stimulated with wholesome material, take care and respect their bodies, be grateful with what they have and not pine after the possessions of others, enjoy life, provide for their children, and respect their parents and friends and the members of their community. This is what it means to be a respectable and noble person.

Holy shit how spiritually bankrupt is this board that you are having SO much trouble with such a cut-and-dry concept? You want everything laid out in front of you before you start the journey, the rest of us just go for it and learn along the way following the innate moral compass we've had since we were tykes. Or whatever. Don't start sperging about when moral sense begins to develop now.

You want this grand, ontological fucking theory of Truth and the Good and God and the mystery of fucking life out of as simple a personal philosophy as "I want to be a good person". You're working top-down. You're a cancer. Your posts are shit. Your argumentation is shit. You don't care about the good, you care about semantical bric a brac and definitions and gay little spergy abstract hedge mazes in your head you wanna walk through when you're reminded of a real world and real people living in trying to get by doing the best they can with the existential uncertainty that assails us all.

You're not living here and now. You're so far up your fat fucking ass you've collapsed into a singularity. Fucking babushkas in old Russia who've never read a word of this shit and don't even know what anime is can give you a workable definition of what it means to be a good person. Stop. Just stop. Just fucking stop you thick, thick fucking cunt.

hahaha this is why pomo needs to be eradicated

you have nothing of value to say. the circuit of your lives has never taken you out of your cushy first world existence. your life is surface. no wonder everything is a construct to you. you've sucked the marrow out of life with your machiattos, your climate-controlled cars, your refusal to entertain anything that came from a time where horses were the primary means of transportation. you think your the vanguard of something new and Better but you're a bunch of noodle-armed fucking yahoos in plaid.

your "philosophy" are treatises on such scintillating nuggets of wisdom as "people have slightly varying conceptions of general terms", "language is ambiguous and not always a perfect descriptor of reality", and my favorite, "if it's not a tangible object in front of my face it does not exist and is useless to talk about. furthermore, to get back to power structures"

it's the year 2015. there's never been a time like this before in this planet's 4 billion year history and we're stuck talking about genitals being a social construct and "woman-phalluses".

kill yourself you good for nothing faggots

>tfw you'll never read the lost stoic works

No one cares about how cultured you think you are. There's laughing at normie-tier authors and there's making a new thread every day preaching to the choir.

We got it bruv, something something liquid shits something something john green
