/lit/ - Literature

There is no point unless you're male and of European ancestry. The sensuous races and rice calculators of the world can only do "practical" philosophy (ethics), and women can't do anything.

Some masochists love physical pain, others read philosophy.

Plato's cave. Read his defense of Socrates.

>>20462398
Philosophy is the recognition of soul physics.

>>20462398
It's interesting. Ancient wisdom. I feel a sense of adventure when I open a book written 2000 years ago. I like seeing how my ancestors thought about the world. I like seeing that nothing is changing. I find solace in the knowledge of our relatedness.

977. Difference between IQ and intelligence. IQ is not intelligence any more than a strong engine is a fast car. You can put the strongest engine in the world inside a fridge and it won't go anywhere. A high IQ is like a good tool; no matter how good it may be, it can only be put to the use that its owner desires. Weak men or women will use their IQ in petty stupid shit no matter how high it may be. They'll spend all its horsepower on inventing rationalizations for their fears and failures and neuroses than on actually inventing anything. That's why balls are inextricable from intelligence. That's why the history of philosophy is a history of the thoughts of straight white males (with a brief East Asian interlude back when East Asians still had a decent amount of balls).

Ethics is the highest form of philosophy and arguable more presuppositional than epistemology or metaphysics.

What’s the point of going for a nice walk on a summer evening?
It’s fun.
>>20462401
Also this. Most humans don’t take joy in doing contemplation beyond what is absolutely necessary.

There isn’t much to gain from reading turboautists like Schopenhauer

To prepare to die.

>>20462398
It's interesting. You get a better picture of how the world got to be where it is. You get to examine the implicit assumptions of the authors and consider whether they were ever true and if they still hold true today. You get exposed to different ideas concerning timeless things like human nature.

What do obviously wrong retarded answers enable us to think?

>>20462398
You read it out of pure love of knowledge, as the name implies.

So I can use esoteric terms in my shitposts to appear as though I have a point when in reality I'm just fucking about.

>>20462593
In a roundabout sort of way, yes.

>>20462908
Same, on two different levels. Reading his philosophy enriched my life, and reading his On Women when I was young made me at least countenance the possibility of misogyny being a valid position, which stopped me from developing any further into a simp.

I think a lot of simps are conditioned at a level that would take years to reach and remedy with therapy. It's "fun" for them to defend women as a kneejerk reflex. The fact that extreme misogyny is equally stupid gives them an opening to brand all misogyny or even incipient misogyny as extreme misogyny, thus justifying unleashing their full simp power level.

You need to get some nuance in there, early on, so you can make your own informed decisions as you mature about how much misogyny is necessary and useful for life. It's good to have a healthy love-hate relationship with anything substantially different from you.

Ethics

>>20462398
Helps cope with reality.

another pointless frognigger thread

Mainly to be superior and beat people who actually earn money in debates at the park and in the bar when they are drunk.

>>20462398
To not have to

I'm just addicted to it.

>>20462407
Basically this.
Philosophy is only good for harming stupidity and critiquing what our world is up to. Both of which are basically either self harm or deriving pleasure from hurting others. Good people don't practice philosophy, they don't read it. Philosophy is for theifs, thugs and evil doers. Not once has reading philosophy produced anything but a villain. Manuals on how to commit crime, that's what philosophy books are. Tomes to make you a better falsifier. Best avoid that stuff all together op. We wouldn't want you to hurt someone, least of all yourself.

>>20462420
>brainlet cope

>>20462398
To get a better understanding. Then you can explain your viewpoints to others and discern the truth easily

Otherwise I guess we would just be monkeys flinging shit with no attempt to understand one another

I read philosophy so I can schizo shitpost more authentically.

>>20462398
About the same as doing pretty much anything else.

Reading philosophy is gay, listening to audiobooks is based and chad. The metaphysical properties of combining philosophical wisdom while performing daily tasks and not just sitting down reading a book like a weak loser are immense. Go for a really long drive late at night for a few hours listening to Being and Nothingness by Sartre and you will be riveted and enthused the entire time you are driving. You can never stop.

>>20464226
le anti-intellectualism

>>20462398
The value of philosophy is to be sought largely in its very uncertainty. The man who has no tincture of philosophy goes through life imprisoned in the prejudices derived from common sense, from the habitual beliefs of his age or his nation, and from convictions which have grown up in his mind without the co-operation or consent of his deliberate reason. To such a man the world tends to become definite, finite, obvious; common objects rouse no questions, and unfamiliar possibilities are contemptuously rejected. As soon as we begin to philosophise, on the contrary, we find that even the most everyday things lead to problems to which only very incomplete answers can be given. Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom. Thus, while diminishing our feeling of certainty as to what things are, it greatly increases our knowledge as to what they may be; it removes the somewhat arrogant dogmatism of those who have never travelled into the region of liberating doubt, and it keeps alive our sense of wonder by showing familiar things in an unfamiliar aspect.

>>20462401
>There is no point
This is the only part of that post that matters. Philosophy is just word games about trains and talking animals.

>>20462593
Ask me how i know you're brazillian

>>20464102
Yes, philosophy is for white cissies

>>20464387
Listening to audiobooks is no less of a waste of time than playing shitty Chinese phone games.
There is nothing in life that is not a waste of time except for acquiring the means for shelter and nourishment.
Anything beyond living in a wood shack and eating wild berries, nuts, and insects is unnecessary luxury.

>>20462551
I like this answer.

>>20463339
>critiquing what our world is up to
I like this phrasing.

I think the point to reading philosophy is probably personal for each person. I like it more from a "history of ideas" perspective - I find it very interesting to read how various people through the ages thought the world was like, how we should organize ourselves, how we should act, etc etc. Beyond that, philosophy helps me cut through bullshit. for me, it's the Greeks. shit you can start there and end there.

>>20462398
I use philosophy as a constant effort to prevent myself from an heroing.
