Please elaborate on your post, are you making the assertion that ascertaining your position in reality is not conducting philosophy? Fuck, here I was thinking that the personal conceptualization of "self improvement" fell into the category of critical thinking. Truly philosophy is the field for only the chosen few.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 19 20:10:41 2018 No.11960225 >>11959662 Your previous post implied that you thought philosophy is about "bettering yourself".
