kek this is true. can't make a career out of it unless you put it in a 700 page tome i guess

Have you never been so bothered by something that you just had to write a bunch of shit down about that very one thing?

In all fairness there is value in taking time to really make clear what it is you're trying to say and help the reader internalize it, my main problem is just how overly complex a lot of philosophical writing is. Every single philosopher's gotta have their special terminology that they use to sound like their ideas are really revolutionary when in actuality they're very simple.

Give examples. Authors using specific words with their own definition is necessary to be specific, and accurate in what they're saying.

Hegel whenever he goes on about the ''geist'' and ''dialectics'', Kant's ''noumenal'' and ''phenomenal'' realities, Hobbes's ''state of nature'', these aren't more specific or accurate, they're needless pieces of terminology that only makes their ideas harder to understand.

Distract people from my actual system of argument. By critiquing young hegelians.
