>gamer completionism

there are no achievements here you moron. read what you want and you can even quit reading if you want.
I hate this completionism attitude in reading community. Read a fucking chapter of random writer, write your own opinion, be fucking creative.

While I agree to everything that you wrote, i'd say just take this board as a grain of salt. /lit/ is filled with 23 year olds who think they are smart now bc they read a book once in college and actually payed attention to it.

iktfb, faggot /lit/ said start with the greeks and now im knee deep in philosophy and it's shit, it's all shit.

Perhaps it is time to resume with the Romans

>>11464677
romans didn't write down anything worth saving

>they were wrong about god(s) and the soul
>they were wrong about politics
>they were wrong about beauty/art
>they were wrong about morals

why bother with the Greeks?

>>11464283
>(And that's a good thing)

Please tell me you read philosophy too. Otherwise, there is no point to starting with the Greeks instead of the Sumerians or the Egyptians.

Kinda. I've only read stoics. Well not actually read, just listened to the gist of the philosophy explained in various YouTube videos.

>mythical gods exist in the sky and souls exist in our bodies (but we can't see them lol)
>it makes sense to allow your fellow countrymen to execute you based on lies simply because they are the authorities (bootlicking)
>there is objective beauty
>there are objective morals

pic related is you if you believe any of these things

>>11465374
t. faggot who's never read Aristotle or Sextus Empiricus

>>11465374
You've clearly not read enough of the Greeks.
Everything you said is still basis for most beliefs nowadays. The only lesser one being objective morality.
