>I sure I’m glad I watched all those cartoons, played all those games and watched all those movies, yet I am fearful of death
Vs
>I sure I’m glad I read all that philosophy, I welcome death with open arms

>>13339062
uh yeah? i would unironically feel that way

>>13339062
>I have faced death a thousand times, reconciled my existence in this universe and on this plane, I find peace in death as this chapter closes, forthwith I join the billions of dyers going before me, I journey to I-know-not-where, going not as a scared collection of thoughts, fears, and emotions, but as a traveler guided by the light of former generations. Adieu, cruel world, adieu!

>cartoons, video games, and films don't contain philosophy

>No, no! Please God, not now!!

>Just.. just let me get home and watch one more Youtuber drama breakdown.. Please, God? J-Just one more.. one more video on feminists tweeting about video games..

>I-It's getting dark.. Why am I so cold? Did I live enough, mother? I.. I can't go now.. The post-credits teaser had a red Hulk in it.. I never.. saw..

>Red Hulk....

Cartoons don’t, video games extremely rarely do, and films aren’t as good as books
But you know that I meant consumerism type of media and you only wanted to bait me, there you go

>>13339062
Legit waiting for this day

>I've let the mysteries of life slip by me unnoticed, and I'll never get the chance to discover them.
>But hey, at least I posted some nice bait threads on 4channel, so it could have been worse.

Philosophy prepares a man for death. Isn't that what Socrates would say?

I'm sure glad I watched all those Danny Phantom episodes. Going ghost!

>>13339124
yeah, but like up until you're 24. After that you read for gnostic knowledge and understanding of the exterior world and your own self. You don't want to be the weird old guy at the book store talking about Kant.

>>13339122
>he thinks reading thousands of pages of contradictory philosophy will reveal the mysteries of life
clock is ticking anon

>im sure glad i lived a hylic existence

>>13339062
lmao. I remember when I did bait posts like this but on Vidya on /v/. I really do regret having spent that much time playing Vidya instead of having read philosophy instead lmao.

Did you intentionally choose a guy that looks like Richard Rorty?

>>13339081
correct

>>13341429
Any good biographies of Rorty? He is just OK as a philosopher, but I find him fascinating as a character.

>>13339062
This is why you need one hour of meditation of every hour of reading philosophy.

>>13339084
