What is the most interesting philosophical idea you've read about and why? Something that has stuck with you.

Do you mean something deep and profound? I dunno, Mesoamerican calendry is really nifty. The most intriguing, albeit nonsensical, idea off the top of my head is weird forms of atomism. Time and space are composed of time particles, so when a particle of water moves, it does so by generating time and space particles, or perhaps disturbing them.

Antinatalism because it advocates for the eventual erasure of all humans. That's pretty interesting.

Honestly most things relating to existentialism, because the basic idea is very hard to escape once you've started reading about it. Going about life after reading about it always has a sort of shadow world feeling, like you know the secret, as most everybody else does too, but you agree to ignore it for everybody's sanity's sake.
Compared to technical ontological arguments or epistemology existentialism always felt very close to life to me.
