You can actually know a lot more about racism than POC.
They are way too close to the issue, every "lived experience" takes you further from objectively understanding the problem and thus decreases your ability to mitigate it.

fuck off with your irony culture

This isn't even a funny parody of a philosophy student. I have no idea what person is being imagined in the head of whoever made this, but it's unlike anyone I've ever met. It makes philosophy students sound severely autistic and unpleasant as people, which is not the case. I can take some self deprecating humor, but this picture is just dumb and kinda cruel.

>>12809617
I agree. This chart seems like a rarer strain of a pretentious asshat.

What's wrong with drinking from glass jars?

>>12810084
Jars are for jams.
Buy a drinking glass.

>>12810084
Nothing, whats wrong is taking pleasure in the fact that you are drinking from a jar over a normal cup.

In my experience philosophy bros are like lit anons. They are either outsider loners with trust issues and a god complex who already have a few manifestos written or right wing YouTube junkies that take masculinity and Jews very seriously and already have a few manifestos written.

Philosophy is about as narcissistic as it gets.

>>12810132
Philosophy or philosophers?

Thanks for the info.

>>12810132
I don't agree honestly. Philosophy I think has a substantial amount of wishful thinking, trying to escape reality by reinterpreting it. But it's not really narcissistic except in so far as only the intelligent can do it, but that's true of many disciplines.

wow cool world we're living in

I mean for a person to say they are going to dedicate their time to thinking about things and writing them down to share because their thoughts are special requires some degree of narcissism. The impulse is no different than when Stacy posts a picture of her lunch online. I appreciate it, but it is still narcissistic.

>>12809501
what is glass bottle(cup) for?

>>12810172
The main impulse with philosophy isn't to share your thoughts though, it's to understand, because you have a deep desire to do so for whatever reason. You can do it completely alone, although you will go a bit crazy without at least a friend to talk to about the subject. I've known people from all walks of life who spontaneously engage in philosophy even thought they have no academic experience with the subject. The questions simply present themselves, and you try to find answers, usually by seeing what others have said before you.

>>12810181
The writing and sharing part is the narcissistic part. It says I did something new, and I'm at least partially right. Not all narcissism is unjustified.

>>12810123
they take our T

>>12810196
I'm not disagreeing with you about that and it's beyond obvious from reading a Hegel or Schopenhauer(idk why they sprung to mind dont read into it) that narcissism plays into it.

But the actual desire to do philosophy isn't that.

>>12810205
I think you are right there

>>12810165
kill yourself you pathetic discord tranny

>>12810196
>>12810181
i see it in a similar light as autobiographies. sure, you've had unique experiences and thoughts, but it still took a level of narcissism to share. but maybe it's one of those thin line sort of things.

Had friends like this - one was poor and one was a poser. Can confirm it was super gay in both cases.

>>12810123
I'm vaguely familiar with the OP archetype but they usually aren't philosophy students, just effete low-IQ men who latch onto feminist ideology because what few social groups they are involved in inevitably become dominated by women since all the men are pushover fags.

>>12810216
Doesn't that just make it more narcissistic though, acting like you are walking some line. Get over yourself, nobody is above ever being narcissistic is the way I look at it haha. If you are right nobody cares. If you are wrong and admit it its not a big deal.

>>12810238
I think there's a reason Christianity teaches humility and warns so strongly against pride, or Buddhism focuses so much on letting go of conceptions of self.

You're right though that you can easily use humility as a concept to further your own narcissism. It's kind of a fucked up trap because the line between valuing humility for its good effects, and shifting to valuing yourself for being humble, is incredibly hard for most people to see, it just kind of happens outside your direct awareness.

We could say the same for the virtue of trying to understand that philosophers have, though I still maintain that's less a conscious attempt at virtue and more an obsessive inclination some people have.

>>12810238
i meant that more as there's a thin line between confidence or narcissism, or something like that, and that you cross the line unconsciously.
>nobody is above ever being narcissistic
i agree, but i also believe self-consciousness and anxieties and all that sort of stuff can determine someone's willingness to publish their life and/or beliefs

Often true though isn't it? I mean a psychiatrist who has dealt with many schizophrenic patients almost certainly understand the disease better than a schizophrenic.

That's possibly one of the worst examples you could use to make your point.

It's the glass part of a mason jar. Traditionally, these are used for canning food at home. You can also use them to cheaply hold candles and prevent them from being blown out by the wind, as well as many other uses. "Moonshiners" in America's South stereotypically serve their moonshine in jars (cheap and easy way to separate quantities of alcohol for sale), and urban hipsters who saw this have taken to serving all kinds of beverages in them for aesthetic reasons. They aren't very good for drinking out of because of the lip on the edge of the jar and the width of them in your hand, but they choose form over function.
