>implying anyone gives a shit about Kant's religious views.

Kant was 5 feet tall but so charming and intelligent that many women wanted him. With his small size and high charm, he walked with the cutest little pep in his step and inspired a mix of maternalistic and sexual arousal in the women around him. However, he denied the flesh so he would deny their advances.

I'm asexual and though I don't think sex is immoral, I do see how often it leads people around me to immorality and bad faith living. Life is actually better without a sex drive.

Not what he said. He said it reduced man to a beast when not ordained to a proper use, which is totally true. People discard reason in favor of pleasure.

>Kant once received a letter from a young lady who had read his works on ethics. Prizing Kant's genius, she sought advice on what she should do about a certain problem of hers. She was engaged to marry a gentleman whom she loved, but she was not a virgin. She wanted to know whether she should tell the man or keep quiet. Kant advised her that she must tell her fiancée. The fiancée broke off the marriage. Distraught, the woman wrote to Kant again, deeply troubled over the result of her decision and admitting she was having doubts over Kant's system of ethics. She asked if she might come to Koenigsberg to meet with Kant and discuss her doubts. Although he received the letter in a timely fashion, he chose never to reply. The woman committed suicide after some time.

Genetically as well. Higher survivability, higher hunting success in hunter gatherer tribes, higher reproductive rates, more energy efficient, etc.

Don't do what feels good. Do what is good.

Read a book published a few years ago about this, about all the ways philosophers (especially more recent analytic philosophers) have been complete monsters. Lakatos also forced someone to commit suicide. Can't remember the title.

>At the beginning of the last year of his life, he fell into a custom of taking immediately after dinner a cup of coffee, especially on those days when it happened that I was of his party. And such was the importance he attached to this little pleasure, that he would even make a memorandum beforehand, in the blank-paper book I had given him, that on the next day I was to dine with him, and consequently that there was to be coffee. Sometimes it would happen, that the interest of conversation carried him past the time at which he felt the craving for it; and this I was not sorry to observe, as I feared that coffee, which he had never been accustomed to, 9 might disturb his rest at night. But, if this did not happen, then commenced a scene of some interest. Coffee must be brought ‘upon the spot,’ (a word he had constantly in his mouth during his latter days,) ‘in a moment.’ And the expressions of his impatience, though from old habit still gentle, were so lively, and had so much of infantine naïveté about them, that none of us could forbear smiling. Knowing what would happen, I had taken care that all the preparations should be made beforehand; the coffee was ground; the water was boiling; and the very moment the word was given, his servant shot in like an arrow, and plunged the coffee into the water. All that remained, therefore, was to give it time to boil up. But this trifling delay seemed unendurable to Kant. All consolations were thrown away upon him: vary the formula as we might, he was never at a loss for a reply. If it was said—‘Dear Professor, the coffee will be brought up in a moment.’—’Will be!’ he would say, ‘but there’s the rub, that it only will be: Man never is, but always to be blest.’
>If another cried out—‘The coffee is coming immediately.’—‘Yes,’ he would retort, ‘and so is the next hour: and, by the way, it’s about that length of time that I have waited for it.’ Then he would collect himself with a stoical air, and say—‘Well, one can die after all: it is but dying; and in the next world, thank God! there is no drinking of coffee, and consequently no—waiting for it.’ Sometimes he would rise from his chair, open the door, and cry out with a feeble querulousness—‘Coffee! coffee!’ And when at length he heard the servant’s step upon the stairs, he would turn round to us, and, as joyfully as ever sailor from the mast-head, he would call out—‘Land, land! my dear friends, I see land.’

>At the beginning of the last year of his life, he fell into a custom of taking immediately after dinner a plate of tendies, especially on those days when it happened that I was of his party. And such was the importance he attached to this little pleasure, that he would even make a memorandum beforehand, in the blank-paper book I had given him, that on the next day I was to dine with him, and consequently that there was to be tendies.

Knowing what would happen, I had taken care that all the preparations should be made beforehand; the tendies were unpacaged; the oven was peheated; and the very moment the word was given, his mother shot in like an arrow, and plunged the tendies into the oven. All that remained, therefore, was to give it time to boil up. But this trifling delay seemed unendurable to Kant. All consolations were thrown away upon him: vary the formula as we might, he was never at a loss for a reply. If it was said—‘Dear son, the tendies will be brought up in a moment.’—’Will be!’ he would say, ‘but there’s the rub, that it only will be: Man never is, but always to be blest.’

>>12517595
people were shorter in the past so any candidate can be dismissed on that criterion

>>12518413
Which ones? But I agree, anyone who looks up to these moral degenerates for systems of ethics is deluded. Aside from Marcus Aurelius, possibly Plato, and some of the Eastern sages, philosophers seem like hypocritical egomaniacs to me. Artists are as well.

Immorality isn't "wrong" anyway, stop being spooked.

A reminder

>>12518830
Stirner was a moron who would say math isn't the superclass over physics.
Any philosophy that doesn't place mathematics as the superstructure is automatically wrong.
