Know the difference between happiness and pleasure.
Everything (well not everything) in moderation.
Balance.
Religion is a hoax
The revolution isn't over.

...Stuff like that.

>> No.1626304

My goals in life:

- Flip the world upside down with my revolutionary ideas
- To be considered one of the top influential men ever
- Cover of Time magazine
- Have a biopic movie about me. Many maybe. Books also.
- To spread my genes, I want lots of children, I don't mind taking care of all of them with love and money, I also don't mind if I don't get to know all of them, I just want children with my blood. Preferably with different women, so I can get more variation.
- Become president of something, like a country
- Be rich as fuck
- Fuck many women
- Drink, smoke, party, enjoy myself

In short, my philosophy of life is:

a) Create, destroy, transform
and
b) Enjoy myself while I do it

I want to go beyond and at the same time don't get cold about life.

i agree with this with the caveat that sometimes the answer is actually "this is a stupid question"

So life isn't really all that important, but its pointlessness doesn't mean you should be a dick to everyone. It also doesn't mean you should fake being nice just for some great reward after you kick the bucket.

My view is, I do what I enjoy doing, as long as it doesn't get in the way of others doing what they enjoy doing.

I live only for the attainment of pleasure, yet I'm too insecure to seek out those pleasure out.
It may sound bad, but it keeps me in check, and life, so far, is pretty good.

>> No.1626358

It can't be understood or figured out and while we are bound by our will to try to, it is an endless endeavor beyond our reach.

Used to have one that was sort of like following questions is important but don't anymore because there is no future in it. I'm not smart enough to be good at that. I went from my philosophy degree (which I did well at) to msc finance. Finance is comparison is hilariously simple and I will have nice lifestlye out of it, by which I mean I will have all creature comforts and will read books by people more brilliant than I could ever be in my spare time and probably make the world a worse place. So selling out is what you do when you can't do what you would love to do

I actually stopped giving a fuck a long time ago. I think it's stupid, wish I had never been born, but since I am here I might as well enjoy all the porn the internet has to offer, smoke a lot of weed, and read good books. It's not really a philosophy so much as a defense mechanism really.

I'm ok with it anon, compromise is inevitable and its not like I have tumor and will be dead in six months. I'll be pretty well compensated. Only thing I'm worried about is destroying a pension fund. That would be some dark shit.

Not a very good one I'd say.

You know your internets and porn are in danger of being compromised... Well, you'll probably just pay the extra subscriber fees I guess... If you have a job.
