When I’m reading philosophy, I can’t help but feel that I’m wasting my time with useless retarded nonsense and should instead read a good novel. Am I ascended or retarded? Maybe a bit of both?

Philosophy is science without the part that makes science valuable.

Are you a woman? Women hate philosophy because they can't understand the concept of analyzing life instead of just enjoying it, because women by default have great lives.

No I’m a man, I analyze much more than I enjoy it but I’m starting to think I have it all wrong and direct action is more important than sitting around philosophizing

Read a book about a skill that sounds fun. Learn that skill. Enjoy the practice of that skill.

I have a few skills already but I think I will explore more. I just have to admit to myself that I don’t give a shit about philosophy other than figuring it out for myself

Realizing it’s useless, of course. If I can’t find a use for it then nobody else can either

Instead of making general statements about philosophy, name the specific works that are giving your trouble. Nine times out of ten, it's because you are reading the wrong things.

Classic philosophers were just rumbling and walking in the dark and were mostly just pure wrong.
