Does anyone else think philosophy sounds fucking gay and retarded based on how faggots online talk about it? It sounds like comic books or wrestling for gay hipsters when you talk about it in such way
>Jean-Paul Sartre is way better than Nietchze dude! Zizek would so destroy Peterson in a debate, faggot!
It's a pure battle of pretentiousness with no intellectual discussion in sight.

philosophy fags are the worst. you can practically see their smug smirk when they name drop some obscure philosopher in an unrelated discussion on a mongolian throat singing forum

the only respectable philosopher alive today is Agamben.

it also a symptom of The Spectacle devouring everything and turning everything that was alive into a one dimensional meme.

Im surprised a philosophy fag hasn't sperged out on this thread yet. I guess they are incapable of arguing ideas without namedropping 3 different french faggots from the 1700s, and nobody has yet written anything on why discussing philosophy online is not gay as fuck.

They love to use really complicated sounding words for concepts that aren’t hard to understand in order to make philosophy sound like something only geniuses can talk about

People who rank or compare philosophers like top trump cards shouldn't be taken seriously, you're assuming every philosophical discussion on /lit/ is identical you find in the Peterson vs Zizek threads. There's nothing wrong with talking about philosophy if you're competent enough to have illuminating discussions on the topic

I hope this is bait, but your stubborn refusal to expand your vocabulary reflects worse on you than it does on philosophers who like to use said difficult language. It's an "I don't understand it so it must be wrong!" mentality that is common amongst 12 year olds

>> No.12702240

You are pretty much right about how it's talked online. That is mostly because intelligent people don't waste their time arguing over whose favorite thinker is cooler.

For you, mayhaps, but I am a distinguished fellow at Boulder University.

>Hello,
I tell my class,
>welcome to Filosofia.... I am Dr P. Roblem-Solva.
I take a deeeeeep breath, then say:
>Now it's time for your first problem.... as us philosophers learn in the philosophy factory, we must decide the magnitude of weightiness between two substances. A tonne of feathers qua a tonne of bricks.
>Hmmmm,
the class hum - their thought juice expanding.
>Well, which is it? I have put it into formal logic, as you can see.
>Is this a TRICK?
a girl asks, her eyes all crossed with confusion.
>HAHAAHA, WHY YES IT IS MY DEAR! Filosofia is all about TRICKING people with SMART riddles!

It isn't at all hard to understand philosophy. He's saying that making a point unnecessarily convoluted will turn off anybody that isn't a pseudointellectual. The fact that you believe the vocabulary is difficult to understand and that anybody who disagrees must be 12 proves you're a pseudointellectual.
