This is the absolute most pseudointellectual board on this site. Philosophy is just as masturbatory as pure maths, it is academics for the sake of academics. Number one bullshit. 100% self absorbed bourgeoisie unproductive waste.

We already tried to get rid of philosophy posters but the mods pussied out halfway into kicking them to /his/ and none of them actually want to discuss philosophy with other philosophy posters because similarly to how /v/ wants to be perpetually split they're all aware that as a whole they're fucking insufferable. So they come back here and make 5 "where do I start with *my favorite philosopher* guys this is totally a legit thread ;^)*" posts a day and copypaste responses hoping to trick some dumb faggot into engaging them.

I know inside me what I am meant to do. I don't need some ancient autistic Greek dickheads telling me what is and what isn't. Nor do I need autistic Germans telling me how to live my life.

There are kids in Africa who don't have water and the academics sit here and wonder what is right and what is wrong referencing a Roman 2000 years ago.

It's bullshit and you need to grow up

I read Nietzsche when I was 16 and I thought to myself "why do I need a dead German, who's context of life is completely different to mine, tell me how to live my life?"

Reading Greek texts telling you how to think and letting that influence you, when the same men had slaves and never had to work a day in their life. Philosophy is a con. It is a dishonest lie.

How many philosophy majors does it take to change a lightbulb?

0. Because they sit there for a week thinking about why the lightbulb died. Thinking about why they're sat in the dark. Thinking about what will happen if no one ever changes the lightbulb.

Philosophy provides nothing of value at all. If your thought process is that fucked that you need to change yourself to think as a stoic then you are already worthless

Highly doubt you read it at 16 or even understood him.

No one told you to that you need to read him or any other philosopher. You are doing the same as entering a dance class and asking the teacher "hurr why the fuck do i need dance for".
You are dumb and using the african kids as a arguement only confirms that you indeed dont know shit about anything.

Now I wonder what kind of impact I've had on the world thus far...

>2016 evacuation
Helped to set up cots and organize them

>2016 water-based disaster
Helped to clean up afterwards, also to pack up a fellow's firewood

>2016-18 writing
Self-published several books, also made several attempts at traditional publication but nothing accepted yet

>Military (2013-16 or so)
Attempted to join a couple times but never successful, supportive of a war with North Korea. Might try to join again, but not infantry; might be too old for that now

>Sexual relationships (Since 2007)
Over a dozen, honestly a bit regretful; I reject hedonism but I did view sex rather hedonistically for most of my life. Thankfully, as far as I know, I haven't caught any sort of disease. I also may have broken a chick's heart whom I only met once, and that one time we met, we fucked. It wasn't all that long after a VERY bad break-up, I had a fear of the word 'love' and to an extent, still do. She texted me that she loves me, I received the text on the bus heading back to my city. I replied back that I'm not ready to use the word, and she took it very poorly... she didn't want to communicate anymore, and I don't even remember her name now. I probably wouldn't recognize her if I bumped into her tomorrow.

>Friendships
Eh, I suppose I've got a couple now in this new city I'm living in, one of which is with a lovely 18/19 year old girl who's in a long-term relationship with a nice fellow, they even discuss marriage and kids from time to time, they seem quite serious. I find it beautiful, and I have many very deep conversations with her. I feel as though I'm helping her along, and she is also helping me in her own way. Mutually beneficial, hoping to keep that friendship in the long-term.

>Religion
My faith is definitely leading me to want to do good in the world, and I show kindness whenever I can manage it.

>Philosophy
Probably haven't come up with any sort of new ideas, but I've written a couple non-fictions so there's that.

>Future prospects
Possibly journalism, continue writing books, WILL be traditionally-published someday, more learning of world religions, likely sticking with Christianity, actively looking to find the woman who will be my future wife. If she's down, and if I can afford it, I am open to the prospect of taking maximum responsibility via having a VERY large family... the West needs more people anyways, and it's better that they be OF the West rather than of some Islamic shithole. May or may not partake in a future crusade if such should come to pass. Fuck Islam.
