Unironically. The final boss of life

>>14630030
"no"

GIVE UP

He's a antiphilosopher

Based

True

>>14630041
Doesn't sound that bad, if you are oblivious to life's possibilities beyond that horizon. All that extra complication is what gives life the hurt.

Is there more to poo philosophy beyond the general notion of:
>DUDE JUST LIKE CHILL LIFE'S ILLUSION N SHIET

>>14631926
"Nature is interested in only two things--to survive and to reproduce one like itself. Anything you superimpose on that, all the cultural input, is responsible for the boredom of man"

"The body does not exist except as a thought. There is one thought. Everything exists in relationship to that one thought. That thought is 'me'. Anything you experience based on thought is illusion"

>>14631939
>Is there more to poo philosophy beyond the general notion of:

He's anti poo philosophy. Is there anything to Western philosophy besides big phony words and more conceptual junk?

>>14631939
>WHY YES THE ULTIMATE MEANING OF EXISTENCE AND THE HIGHEST AIM OF MAN IS TO REALIZE THAT DUDE JUST LIKE CHILL LIFE'S ILLUSION N SHIET HOW DID YOU KNOW

>>14631939
You should read him and watch videos of him talking on YouTube before you judge

>>14631950
This is mentioned in all eastern traditions of an illusion of self or "I". It's the most profound realization one can make and this does not require mysticism or spiritual junk

>>14631915
>>14631805
That's why he's the final boss

>>14630030
hes p funny guy

>>14631976
He gives you a glimpse into the absurdity of life

>>14631984
indeed his videos unironically made me laugh man im going insane

>>14631996
If you are lucky to understand UG you will go insane in the best way possible ;). UG would say "the line of demarcation between me and the madman is thin"

>>14631943
Sounds like nominalism

>>14632010
>>14631996
I like this. What's funny is he never asked for money, books to be written about him, or attention that he got. He had friends all over the world in nearly every continent who would sometimes pay for his trips just to see him

Yes

>>"Nature is interested in only two things--to survive and to reproduce one like itself.
lol that's what secular humanists say in their academia

>>14632049
Sure. UG was not a humanist though

i'm glad I discovered UG when I did, saved myself a lot of wasted years

>>14632564
What do you mean exactly? That he was of benefit? How so?

Take the Mannypill.

>>14632635
Why

>>14632616
Just UG's method of negating everything, things that i assumed were important but as it turns out i could do entirely without

Note that at the time i was going down a rabbit hole consuming garbage oriental/occult wisdom content and schizo conspiracy stuff (the two go hand in hand). It's possible, if you already have a brain in your head, that you don't need to take the UG pill. He was mainly speaking to burnt out hippies who'd reached a dead end but still thought they were one crook in a robe away from enlightenment

>>14632690
Nice post, somewhat similar here, but my story of arriving to UG takes a lot of explaining for another time. UG is unique, and worth reading. I'm surprised, but obviously not that surprised that he's not more popular/well known on /lit/ or on other obscure forums. Anyways, for someone who is naturally questioning everything and try to find 'answers' UG is great because he'll knock you over like a bulldozer.

>>14632709
Mystique of Enlightenment if anyone wants to read. You need to get a background of the man first though, many YouTube videos of him and interviews

>consuming garbage oriental/occult wisdom
My guess is that you only saw a surface-level understanding of things. You probably read the words but it didn't quite 'click'.

>>14634033
Not him, but it's a merry go round with dead ends. There's nothing to gain with it

t.someone who knows what he's talking about

>>14634043
What is the dead end? Sorry if I am making assumptions here, but if you only read books about mysticism it will always be unsatisfactory and probably useless too. Words and concepts are not reality, but any good mystic/occultist/oriental thinker knows this.
Experience is more important than rationalization and analysis of logical concepts and words. The point of mysticism, to me, is to bring the reader from philosophical systemizing to spiritual experience. If you just read a book (again, sorry if I am making incorrect assumptions) and thought that was all there was to it, then of course you will find a dead end.

>>14630030
Every quote I read of his I just get the impression that he's really proud of finding agnosticism/epistemological nihilism/"Yuo can't knoe nuffin!" or something like that.

>>14635507
UG is a heavy hitter. I wouldn't cast him away so easily or even define him for that matter
