"If you're deciding between to do or not to do something, do it, because if you fail at least you'd have the experience."

>>11715570
You exist because your parents liked the feeling they got when they rubbed bits of their flesh together

>>11715567

> Hang yourself, you will regret it

Not necessarily

You won't have he experience of not having done it or another thing instead of it..

>>11715567
>Hang yourself, you will regret it
wrong.

>>11715570
only in meditation can we really learn the answers to these questions.

>>11715567
The happiest people are married. The unhappiest people are also married / have been married.
Find a girl with values aligned to yours, folks.

>>11715756
it only takes a split second to develop the feeling of regret

>>11715567
This is the thumbnail from that youtube series correct?
Why are you watching faulty youtube summaries instead of reading from the source?

>>11715678
>>11715764

>>11715770

>>11715781
because life is a wonderful gift, and if you commit suicide you will reincarnate as a lower form, setting yourself back many cycles.

>>11715799
yeah but you won't know that you were a human in a past life, you'll just be a retarded mantis who gets eaten by his gf or some shit

>>11715803
What you think while you are incarnate doesn't really matter.

>marry, have kids then hang your wife, you will not regret it

Fuck k

How come g*rmanics are so hungry for the angst cock. Literally any relevant g*rmanic philosopher has his roots in angst, yikes

>>11716264
Who is Kant

>>11716264
Why do niggers dance all the time ?

>>11716703
> Dancing mania (also known as dancing plague, choreomania, St. John's Dance and St. Vitus's Dance) was a social phenomenon that occurred primarily in mainland Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries. It involved groups of people dancing erratically, sometimes thousands at a time. The mania affected men, women, and children who danced until they collapsed from exhaustion. One of the first major outbreaks was in Aachen, in the Holy Roman Empire, in 1374, and it quickly spread throughout Europe; one particularly notable outbreak occurred in Strasbourg in 1518, also in the Holy Roman Empire.

Ergot is one hell of a drug.

Kek this thread has been surprisingly full of quality content

To keep it lit related is there more to Kierkegaard than Fear and Trembling?

>>11716264
We're not interested in wishful thinking. Confronting reality for what it is and abandoning dreams causes angst since it means entering unexplored territoy, even if what we discover isn't necessarily bleak at all.

>Whoever seeks mere edification, and whoever wants to shroud in a mist the manifold variety of his earthly existence and of thought, in order to pursue the indeterminate enjoyment of this indeterminate divinity, may look where he likes to find all this. He will find ample opportunity to dream up something for himself. But philosophy must beware of the wish to be edifying.

>>11717502
Uhm, yes? Either/Or is where the quote from the OP comes from. The Concept of Anxiety is probably his most difficult, post-hegelian, work. Provocations is his easiest, but it's also well worth reading.

Where should I start with Soren "The Beta" Kierkegaard? Is it safe to start with Either/Or?

>>11717502
Yeah lots, Sickness Unto Death is brilliant.

>>11717612
Depends on how much continental philosophy you know up until that point. If you're familiar with Hegelianism you can start almost anywhere, if not then Provocations and then Works of Love are safer points of entry.

He'll blow out your conceptions of beta and alpha males though. Beware.

>>11717502
Read his journals.

I dig it

Who's this dane faggot to tell me what i will regret and not?

>>11715779
I don’t agree with your second tag, meditation can be good.

>>11715567
Conclusion:
Life is suffering either way because you can't get one thing and the polar opposite of it too, there will always be something you Miss out on.

>>11717748
Okay thanks.

Who’s #4?

>>11718203
So, how to win a losing game?
Answer: don't play.

>>11718275
you'll regret that too

>>11717783
In digestible form under the title 'Provocations'.

>>11718275
You have to be alive to come to that realization first, so you have already lost.

>Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it
This is where you're wrong, kiddo

>Hang yourself and you will regret it

>>11715689
You will regret hanging yourself when you burn in hell for it :^)

>>11718362
Hell doesn't real though ;>

>>11718356
>>Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it
>This is where you're wrong, kiddo
You'll eventually come across a foolishness so great that your hardened shell of greeting it with laughter will be met with derision from your fellows and you will realize how tragic you are.

freudy boy

He wrote a great quote I somehow only saw recently: "Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom"

>>11718275
No, just learn to cope with regret, which you would get either way so it really doesn't matter.

Is kierkegaard the greatest philosopher?

>>11719657
yes but that's not saying much

it's like being the best at junior league baseball or something

>>11715567
>school of life
secularist garbage that deliberately misinterprets everything

>>11719657

It's circular reasoning, Soren, not a contradiction.

Fucking subhuman 90-IQ existentialist brainlet.

>>11719809
It's a contradiction for it to be presented as the answer.

>>11715678
That's not an explanation at all.

>>11716264
whites and asians are just kind of sad. it's where our best racial bonding is found.

>>11716319
Common misconception, I'm not sure why it's not talked about more often but Kant was a Moor.

>>11717309

Q: What is the meaning of the that which depends on the continual production of the conditions?
A: The continual production of conditions.

The two statements do not oppose or exclude one another.
A contradiction is a set of statements that oppose or exclude one another.
Therefore it is not a contradiction.

>>11715567
It's impossible to regret hanging one's self

>>11717502
Literally everything. Only philosopher besides Plato who you should read in full.

>>11720712
death is not the end

>>11720588
It is a contradiction but not logically.

>>11720774
right, because you remember existing before you were born, and your brain is not your mind
oh wait

>>11717867

>>11718203
>>11718275
Wrong. Since all of our actions are pointless, we should act in a way that satisfies God, since his measure of what is good is the only one that matters.

>>11718275
Any answer is the right answer. Have you played video games? It's pointless but enjoyable, just like life.

>>11716264
Could it be that "angst," is a German word meaning "fear?"

>>11717748
Maybe it's best not to think in terms of "Alpha," and "Beta." Perhaps a man makes his own way.

>>11715567
It looks zen to me
