History. Our recorded chronology is a complete fabrication and access to any semblance of true history is completely gatekept (at least on the surface) by Jesuits through organizations like the Smithsonian (go take a look at their respective logos). Interestingly enough, the subject of historiography is as useful as the subject of History is useless because it teaches one to be critical about how we have come to accept things as historical fact. I would reckon that our true chronology is so vastly different than what we are taught at school, that every world leader could go out in front of the world tomorrow, give a presentation on it at the UN or something, and the masses still would not believe it.

because most people don't actually read or understand philosophy but they read the wikipedia collection of seminal western philosophers to find out who they need to pretend to understand in order to flex knowledge around other people and get a summary gist of their basic ideas which are almost always wrong, but it doesnt matter, understanding isnt the goal, weaponized cue-card style uttering of "facts" is the goal
Would it surprise you to know that MOST of the people I've discussed Wittgenfaggot online with, don't know what I'm talking about when I say he renounced his entire philosophy and then asserted the opposite with just as much arrogant vigor as before, rendering him history's biggest idiot? or, one of them at least

You can still slack off and work part-time temping jobs to fund your creative pursuits if you want. Or you can work really hard and try to get enough capital to be financially independent. Or anything in between. Practical STEM skills give you options.

Part time temping is still putting in more work than a low-end wage job, to get the same results, plus most of that work is frontended on your best years for getting fit, discovering social/sexual experience, and building a useful knowledge base for your real work. Independently wealthy by white collar work is a laughably empty assurance the system waves in front of you until it‘s too late.

You can do that with any job that doesn't eat up all your time with long commutes.

Eww

Yeah, like knowing math and logic so your philosophy is more than "trust me bro". Or having the tech skills to do your own graphic design, CAD files and 3D printing. Or the mechanical skills to make your own furniture and sculptures. I could go on.

>> No.22796885

rumor has it that Wittgenstein actually rescinded his philosophy a third time right before he died, he was writing about how it would even be considered intelligible to talk about "knowing" whether or not one's own face existed, how this type of knowledge would have to be considered a logical pre-category, a sort of pre-condition of anything being intelligible at all, but how this leads to a second rabbit hole of meta-intelligibility, and that requiring its own set of logically positive justifications, when all of a sudden, he realized he'd spent his entire life playing meaningless language-games with himself that don't even come close to grasping anything meaningful, true or real, that he had wasted his time being a sperg faggot and had not ever even touched a woman's pussy, then immediately died of shock

That sort of deathbed/just-before-death stuff doesn't count in anyone's biography, really. Whatever drastic and uncharacteristic change a person makes shortly before death isn't what they were really all about, isn't really "them". Their beliefs, their attutudes, their ideas. It's just a final flagellation in the face of the ultimate crisis. This is also why the Christian notion of the "deathbed conversion" is a failure.

None of the STEMfags I know actually do anything creative. They spent their whole student years coping how they will also read philosophy and have creative endeavors, but in the end they became wageslaves who spend their limited free time doing dumb shit like rock climbing.
