The more philosophy I read the more shallow I realise it all is. It's such a well from the outside looking in, but when you really step down into it you realise it's ultimately just a puddle. Then you pick up Wittgenstein and btfo everyone.

What you get out of it is a function of your own inner depth.

Wrong. What you don't get out of it is a function of your own inner depth. You will realise this eventually.

Jesus, anon, it is not about btfo anyone. This was unironically your conclusion after getting into it? Tell me more about how you started. How was it reading the pre-socratics with their weird shit? Did you skipped them?

Why would I waste my time reading obscure shit like that. I read selected writings from Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, Nietzche, Russell, Sorjamayer, and Bentley

yes, wittgenstein read his hamann and realized the futility of analytical philosophy and turned to poetry

fun fact: the word "witty" was coined after Wittgenstein himself as that was one of his common nicknames

Does anyone have the one where Wittgenstein claimed to have read Neitzche's ouevre within a week and then read it all again the next week because he was baffled by how bad it was?

Why do people read outdated philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle? Most of their ideas have been proven wrong by science.

They should only be read out of curiosity. To know the first steps of humanity towards understanding our surroundings and inner self. After that, its meaningless.

Yes, SCIENCE! Bitch! Drugs are the cure for the unexamined life is not worth living. FFS, actually read Plato before flinging shit like that.

>> No.18571401

I think it's alright but one thing that keeps coming up that I don't like is it mistakes abstractions and simplifications as peering into underlying reality. I don't like logic for the same reason. It leads to conceptual errors and missing the point.
