because you only wouldn’t if you are stupid and cow-like in nature. Philosophy is inherently aggressive.

>>18285001
Indeed, only a balding white American would imagine that this was how boars used to be hunted.

a lot of the time, you ran after animals slowly until they were tired and then killed them with rocks

>>18285001
Philosophers despise the common evils of any time. Modern ones analyze the generation and concealment of modern evils.

Life itself doesn't change, its properties do. “Embracing” something transitory that sometimes happens is most often limited to attention to external changes. In most shallow form, like in discussions of rockets and self-driving cars, it's just unworthy journalism.

>noooo his daydream he had at wal-mart isn't accurate!!!!
Okay.

>>18285153
>I know so much more about boar hunting that you
weird flex

>>18285001
Because it's objectively shit.

>>18285001
>Wearing bloody, uncured animal leather

Yeah that's not how that works at all.

>>18285001
Because modern society is awful and unnatural

>>18286440
compared to your ridiculous romanticised image of pre-modernity?

>>18285001
My pet theory is that MOST were dweebs who didn’t fit in while they were in their teens. So they yearn for a past mythical golden age. A bit like how weeaboos think they’ll be happy if they go to Japan.

>>18286456
Not being a dweeb doesn't protect you from nihilism.

>>18286466
Yeah, hence my use of the word “most”. I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not the best theory, and I’m open to ideas.

>denies metaphysics, truth, and ethics while still presupposing them
this is why anyone with a functioning brain hates modernity and all of modern so-called "philosophy"
>DUDE... WHAT IF... IT'S LIKE, UHH... WHAT IF IT'S TRUE THAT NOTHING IS TRUE????
the modern world has descended into a bottomless abyss of stupidity

>his brain is unable to comprehend that all things are filtered through our mind and it's social conditioning.
Are you a child mayhaps?

>>18286434

>>18286441
This was my first thought.

Or I guess it was something more like "Ew, sticky," followed by that.

>>18286524
>it's social conditioning.
Are you a retard mayhaps?

>>18286524
>DUDE everything is just, like, a social construct bruh
Did it ever occur to you that this very idea is, itself, just a social construct and therefore arbitrary?

>>18286563
If you can't accept that the way we percieve the world is primarily defined through a cultural lense, then there may be no hope for you.
Do some sudoku or something.

>>18286571
Everything is a social construct, some of them are just useful for navigating the world more accurately than others.
Belief and internal narrative are what define "reality" far more so than the objective truth of that external stimulus.

>>18286576
>If you can't accept that the way we percieve the world is primarily defined through a cultural lense
That's your opinion, and you can't prove it because you believe nothing is objective. It's a self-defeating game. People like you are the <80IQ idiots who always make themselves known with these claims.

>>18285311
smart cookie right here

>>18286601
Yes, people with an IQ of 80 are all going around talking about subjective social realities. How could I forget all the people with down syndrome who believe in German Idealism and have an understanding of contemporary neuroscience and social sciences?

You are the one approaching the world like a 16 year old new athiest.

>>18286582
>Everything is a social construct
So the idea that everything is a social construct is just a social construct?
>useful
you just presupposed ethics and purpose
>accurately
you just presupposed attainable truth
everything you said is a bunch of sophistry

>>18286616
>Yes, people with an IQ of 80 are all going around talking about subjective social realities
Correct.
>believe in German Idealism
Retards believe in all kinds of things. Kantian idealism, the only reasonable type, does not assert "all truths are social constructs." If that's what you got from Kant then you literally cannot be helped, because he said exactly the opposite.

Its old. All philosophers criticise the people they built their idea's on. No one wants to labeled as a previous dude with extra stuff

>the literal daydream of a cartoon middle class modern doesn't reflect the historical reality of boar hunting
you aren't remotely as smart as you think you are

>>18285001
You embrace modernity as soon as you develop the faculty to despise.

>>18287361
Despise what?
