Is it better to be a poet or philosopher?

Considering you need random people online to tell you what to do, probably neither. Maybe consider being a janitor or a serf

Listen here kiddo, I've been rolling in cash and coke since before you learned the difference between "to" and "too" and I got there by rejecting poetry and philosophy. It's been a grind but now I can fuck, read, and suck as often as I want to.

poetry because unlike every philosophy it's irrefutable

But I want to free myself from economic determinism.

That's, practically speaking, impossible.

That's because the purpose of poetry isn't to find such a literal truth as philosophy, they necessarily flow into the other but none the less there remains something eternal in every great philosophy, in my opinion.

Imagine thinking that the purpose of philosophy is to be irrefutable

Philosopher, being a poet will get you nowhere.

But wouldn't Witt literally say the opposite?

You are literally retarded if you think this.
The best philosophers were also poets, the best poets were also philosophers.

I just posted witt because it was the first random image I had on my folder. I don't even like Wittgenstein anymore. He was just a fucking autist that got lucky because he was rich and from a billionaire family by the time's standards. Philosophical Masturbations literally is just him asking himself "bro what if words aren't what they are in the dictionary but what we mean lmao?" The guy was a fucking joke, and the fact that he's so adored in philosophical circles shows that it is in a downfall.
Fuck you, loser.

Completely wrong, they merge but not to such a degree where you can call a Bach a theologian because of his relation to Christianity.

>>15048240
No! Fuck (((you))).

>>15048275
But that's literally impossible.
