Why are the philosophers of our time so shitty?

>> No.9229731

Because they don't hate women and minorities and globalism and 'human rights'

Foucault is not of our time.

We live in an era that is incredibly fragmented and in a state of disarray, for better or worse is undeterminable.

It is basically impossible for a philosopher to construct a coherent, linear philosophy, like those of the past.

It's a shitty time.

COME ON NOW. For fucks sake read this book. Here is a real life philosopher who has written a masterpiece in our day and age. There is a lot of way to go, you simply cannot comprehend this because you are locked into faggot liberal academic thinking.

Are people here looking to seek the truth or fuck themselves in their own asses? You all speak in circles and talk and talk and talk but of no substance or anything. There are just a bunch of words here on this board strung together as if they were supposed to mean anything. I've seen probably 3 threads where anything was said.

HERE is a book to discuss, a book that MEANS something after discussing so much nothing. A restructuring of stoicism and Nietzsche in the creation of the "duality of human nature" and an actual application of this duality into the creation of a better society.

"We have free will, we are not all powerful, we are not all knowing, and we experience the universe with a biological framework and consciousness. I have discovered that due to this inherent structure of our perceived existence, we follow two distinct paths. The duality of human nature is this:

Every single human feeling, thought, or action at any level of experience or awareness can be categorized under two equally valid but opposite reactions to the absurdity of the universe. Rejection and destruction or acceptance and building."

"Fundamental individual destructive tendencies given our free will in a meaningless existence are a lack of self-control, cowardice, a lack of wonder, and a lack of sense of humor. Without courage, self-control, wonder and/or humor the individual and society disintegrates. A lack of those four things leads people to wrath, depression, madness, hedonism, and ignorance. These five major ways that destructiveness occurs greatly diminish the quality of someone’s life and eventually lead to the cessation of life for the individual and humanity.

All of these reactions influence the collective conscious, which shapes the existence of the individual and humanity."

"Maintaining a strong society is vital for the success of the human race.

Society is an application of the collective conscious for the organization of individuals.

Society has created beings that are different and more than just animals, but we still retain an underlying animalistic nature.

Society is full of individuals that interact with one another. Each of these individuals must have a degree of autonomy and individual power in order to be on the path of building, but as one individual gains more power, others may lose it, and can fall into destructiveness through wrath and especially despair. Society provides guidelines for social interactions and the allocation of power.

Considering these two important components of human nature (Underlying Animal/ Underlying Power) in relation to society:

1. A strong society is based in balancing the pursuance of our biological nature completely and the rejection of our biological nature.
2. A strong society is based in balancing the desire to obtain all power and the desire to relinquish all power from ourselves.

These are the Biological-Artificial Spectrum and the Power Spectrum."
