Stop reading and get laid

Write essays, if you can't express an idea in 5000 words or so it's probably just nonsense

Don't ever think that the mental state you are in is incomplete or wrong. The moment you adhere to a specific ideology, you've lost. Being ready to "give your life for an ideal" is the worst thing someone could do. To have irregular and inconsistent thoughts is a fundamental consequence of actual, deep thought. If anything, you should be proud of you inability to condense your views into one single metaphysical point, if it where any other way, it'd be only because you've thought what they've told you to think. If anything. try to become even more confused and lost, make your mind an anarchich territory where every single idea is involved in a constant war.

I honestly believe that if more people were like this debates would be actually useful.

You need to read more and a lot. Absorb as many ideas as you can. Pick through them but don't skim. You must be broad and deep.

Yourself is not the thoughts, they will keep coming indefinitely and you will never find yourself in them

Honestly it really helped me when I just bit the bullet and decided to become religious. Most things sort of just fell into place after that (and often in kind of unexpected ways)

Stop reading 4chan, this website is in a constantly accelerating contrarian political evolution where the only constant is blaming Jews

at least for me, writing is the best way to solidify views while creating more that follow the same narrative.

>You're not doing anything wrong. What's happening is that, when a philosopher's position is being presented sympathetically, you find yourself sympathetic to it, and when you read criticism of a philosopher's views, you find yourself agreeing with the criticism. That's fine and normal, as long as the reason you find yourself sympathetic to each is that you find the arguments for them at least somewhat compelling. The key is to train yourself to pay more attention to arguments than to conclusions.
>What you're going through is normal for a beginner to philosophy. It can be a useful period to you if you ask yourself: why do I find myself agreeing with this philosopher? As a rough rule of thumb: if you find that the answer to that question is typically some fact about how interesting you find the conclusion of the philosopher's arguments, that's not ideal. If you find that the answer to that question is typically some fact about how well the argument for the conclusion works, that's better. Same for when you're reading criticisms of the philosopher. If you find yourself thinking turns out that philosopher believes something I find myself disliking, that's not a great reason to disagree with the philosopher. If instead you find yourself thinking turns out the philosopher's argument doesn't work as well as I thought it did, then you're on the right track.
>Practicing reading in this way will help you, over time, come to be able to anticipate criticisms of a philosopher by finding flaws in their arguments before they are pointed out to you.
