/lit/ - Literature

the one where everything is reducible to power, with a strong focus on physiognomy obviously

>>19182570
The one in my diary desu

Plato

>>19182578
So the blackpill? Only chads that used to be ugly know that explicitly.

But everyone knows it implicitly.

>>19182570
Rational vitalism

A chad does not care about philosophy, he just does whatever the hell he wants.

>>19182603
to do as you please is wisdom, and chad loves it. thus, chad is the greatest of all philosophers.

Might makes right

>>19182615
Chad is the only one who can actually do what he pleases, so Chad is inherently wise

All philosophy is just coping with NOT being able to do what you want

The Greeks were right, beautiful people are good and ugly people are bad

School of hard knocks

>>19182570
Pyrrhonism. His philosophy is idk idc.

>>19182570
Libertine - Stacy would probably let Chad shit, piss and then tear her head off desu.

>>19182603
Neoliberalism and California Socialism.
Chad acts like a woman and simps defend him as the Last Man.

>>19182570

Chad: Have Sex, Touch Grass
Stacy: Live Laugh Love

These are valid philosophies because they suffice for those who adhere to them. Chad and Stacy are already well-adjusted to the world and serene unto themselves, they don't need to subscribe to slave morality cope or engage in autistic pilpul to avoid ego death.

>>19182570
Chad is a just normie liberal, maybe a bit more on the conservative side of things.

Tattoos = chad status revoked

>>19182690
this
>>19182680
might and BEAUTY together make right
(thus fascism is the logical conclusion to OP’s question)

>>19182570
None? Or whatever one he happens to follow if he's intellectually-inclined. He's an individual.

>>19182578
That's only for ugly, bitter gremlins. Chad is free to be a good, well-rounded person with simple or intellectualised ideas about the world.

>>19182570
They don't seek out philosophy until they're older men and begin to face real problems in life. If you become the quarterback of the football team, go to a nice college and get a bunch of pussy without even trying, why do you need philosophy? But once they perhaps start losing hair, face a failure in their career, divorce, lose a close relative, stop making gains in the gym etc they will turn inwardly and start thinking about this stuff. People of lesser value start thinking about these things earlier because they face more challenges. An extremely ugly person begins pondering the purpose of their existence very early on.

>>19183064
So that's Stacy's philosophy. Chad's nature is not that degenerate.

>>19182603
>>19182615
So Chad is the Nietzschean overman incarnate?

Chad isn't a philosophy.
It's a state beyond self-doubt.
Chad never listens to the inner voice of FUD, which is what makes him a chad and not a virgin.

>>19182570
the don't-be-introspective philosophy

Mislead the simps.

>>19182570
literally looks like a twink that took lots of roid
would fuck his bussy

>>19182570
Epicurus

>>19184410
There ya go

>>19184410
Yeah, the hedonist lustful man whore consoomerist societal and political participant is an Epicurean. Fuck off

>>19182570
Tats look cool on chad but I'm too small for them to look cool on me

>>19182570
Chad is an unconscious Nietzschean.
It may not be obvious since Chad may appear to subscribe unquestioningly to many of the prescribed morals of his society, but this is not due to his state of mind being one of slavish subservience to the artificialities of societal morals, rather it is a consequence of his refusal to care sufficiently in those areas specifically to forge new ones.
Chad forges himself new moralities as needed, but his very state of being is guided by his unconscious so intrinsically that he will never rebel nor become iconoclastic out of principle, only out of convenience.

>ITT: Beta faggots

In reality rather than the fantasy minds of incels, most guys you would consider "muh chads" are actually very boring, conformist, status quo obsessed, braindead NPC normies. Good job, good school, good family, good car, good girlfriend/wife, good home, good neighborhood, ad infinitum. He peaks in HS as the football quarterback, then life is downhill from there. Chad will inevitably become a fat bald alcoholic, divorce his bitchy, rapidly aging Stacy wife, and end up sweating on a beach somewhere staring at the sky wondering why life was not more meaningful for him.

Philosophers are souls who seek knowledge, wisdom, insight, and truth, at all costs if they are true philosophers. Chad is at best, the primitive man, certainly not a superman. Remember that Nietzsche's übermensch is as far from modern humans as we are from chimpanzees. The best we can do is pave the way for the Chad of the future, a being of true power and self-overcoming.

>>19184501
Very nice post anon, thanks for making it. Truly life is just going to have suffering regardless and we should embrace it and use it.

>>19182578
>physiognomy
god I love books on physiognomy

>>19184501
alternately, he could end up happy after a lifetime of prestige, comfort, wealth, and familial happiness, with three kids who end up going on to being doctors, lawyers, and dentists, who come and visit him and mom all the time with the grandkids. he will die happy, surrounded by the ones he loves in the comfort of the legacy he'll pass onto them. cope.

>>19184475
Can it be a Chad if it has never been challenged?
And can it be a Chad if it has been?

>>19184501
>The best we can do is pave the way for the Chad of the future
Nietzscheans are one the most cucked cunts on this planet.

>>19184501
>Good job, good school, good family, good car, good girlfriend/wife, good home, good neighborhood, ad infinitum.
Yes that's Chad. Also this part directly contradicts your second part.
>Chad will inevitably become a fat bald alcoholic, divorce his bitchy, rapidly aging Stacy wife, and end up sweating on a beach somewhere staring at the sky wondering why life was not more meaningful for him.

>>19184541
Being "good" is not the same as being great. Living for suburban mediocrity and society's mundane ideals of virtue and success is contrary to the philosopher's true project. A real philosopher must be willing to sacrifice all of that in pursuit of truth.

>>19184539
Cope. You will never be a free spirit.

>>19184544
What does it mean to be a free spirit?

>>19184547
“...conversely, one could conceive of a delight and power of self-determination, a freedom of the will, in which the spirit takes leave of all faith and every wish for certainty, practised as it is in maintaining itself on light ropes and possibilities and dancing even beside abysses. Such a spirit would be the free spirit par excellence.”

>>19184554
>a freedom of the will, in which the spirit takes leave of all faith and every wish for certainty,
What does it mean to take a leave of all faith? What is faith? Isn't believe in "free spirit" also a faith, a fanatic certainty?

>>19184015
says the ugly bitter gremlin

>>19184451
yeah? an epicurean in action would effectively be this

>>19183199
>These are valid philosophies because they suffice for those who adhere to them. Chad and Stacy are already well-adjusted to the world and serene unto themselves, they don't need to subscribe to slave morality cope or engage in autistic pilpul to avoid ego death.
Neither does anyone else; it's a choice you make.

>>19184620
>an epicurean in action
Kek, no. An Epicurean in "action" who be like Epicurus and his garden commune who withdrew from society, consoomerism and politics. They build their communes and lived modestly with their friends. They negative hedonists, the opposite of what I wrote earlier. We can call them pseudo ascetics.

>>19184645
>withdrew from society, consoomerism and politics. They build their communes and lived modestly with their friends.
That's literally what I do except I'm on neetbux instead of building a commune. Epicureanism sounds based

>>19184655
Yes they were. Read The Essential Epicurus

Maybe you could contact your fellow NEETs in your area and you could start a fren commune or rent a big hall where you all can collectively live modestly and enjoy art and each other's company. But I am afraid that this sort of thing will turn into a degenerate sex and drugs filled mad house in our times.

>>19184669
Well I don't really like other people so just my family's company and the social interaction I get from shitposting are enough for me.
>The Essential Epicurus
Thanks, I was looking for something that argued for some kind of middle way between mindless consoomer hedonism and larpy asceticism

>>19184674
>Well I don't really like other people so just my family's company and the social interaction I get from shitposting are enough for me.
Based, do as you like friend
Epicurus is the middle way.

>>19184683
Are there other books or authors on this subject outside of Epicurus or is he the one and only to have figured it out?

>>19184695
I don't know man. Checkout stoics(seneca epictetus and marcus aurelius), they were normalfags and I know you will not like them much as NEET but they also achieved wisdom. They will give you the tools to deal with the world if you're not totally cutting off society.

>>19182578
In that case the split dimple jaw and small forehead disqualifies the guy in OP from being a true Chad.

>>19184715
Yeah I've never read the stoics but I might get around to it.
was initially put off by the "babby's first philosophy" label but /lit/ has dumb opinions overall so I'll go into it with an open mind

>>19184728
Who the fuck cares what /lit/ think? Read whatever you want bro. I shitpost in Stoic thread for keks but I sincerely respect this philosophy. It is miles better than Nietzschean romantic vomit.

>>19184744
I like Nietzsche's manic ramblings but his philosophy is just not realistically applicable

>>19184753
Yes you're right.
Goodluck my fellow NEETbro. I hope you develop a theory of middle way and be done with the fad of philosophy.

>>19182570
Whatever makes him feel good and generally conforms to what other believes in while giving him an advantage. If it's a sharkish Chad then something along the line of might makes right, or simple belief in his own abilities. They're not very introspective.

>>19184528
Yeah, but he'll be happy if the fates give him the right cards, unhappy if not. When they reach bottom and still claw their way back up then you get something scary. Most chads don't need introspection because less is wrong in their life

>>19182570
>What school of philosophy does chad follow?
determinism

Stoicism.

>>19184805
Good luck to you as well my friend.

>>19182570
plato and nietzche

>>19182570
I've never met a single chad in my life. The athletes I knew were all getting cucked by petty criminals

>>19184716
>split jaw allowing for intake of bigger prey
>small forehead diminishing exposed vulnerable areas, presumably smaller neo-cortex lowering capacity for empathy and useless abstract thinking
you say that like it's a bad thing. this man is obviously an apex predator

>>19184614
i'm not ugly, not even unsociable, i'm just mentally ill

>>19184995
women love a bad boy, never could understand why

>>19182570
Dokkodo

>>19184805
Two people who barely read having a discussion on a board for literature.

>>19185560
Philosophy isn't the whole of literature, my pseud friend

>>19185202
Males follow them too.

Just wanna say I could beat the shit out of every single person in this thread. It wouldn't even be a fight, I'd just pummel the absolute shit out of any of you.
Think about that the next time you're having your fancy little discussion. Think about how it'd feel to have me beat the absolute shit out of you.
