Is the Derrida text AI generated? Considering he died like twenty years ago, and it just reads a little too much like something out of a "Derrida but make it even more pseud than usual" kind of prompt.
>>
>>16126312
Does Derrida have one ounce of self-awareness he is precisely the same meaningless post-modern text generator as the AI he maligns are?
>You didn't understand it
I studied philosophy and understood it just fine.
Once you have read a shitton of philosophy, text walls of tightly, intelligently written prose start to lose their luster hard.
On the contrary, being impressed to the point of considering something "unassailable" seems like a very undergrad disposition.
>But unlike AI, his text contains soul
Soul is what we make of it. I agree AI drivel is pointless, but I would also say 95% of texts by reputable philosophers are. 99% of all texts humans have produced are. What matters is what we make of it it and what meaning we imbue them, be it AI-made or manmade.

Hi, so basically I am currently in University and I am struggling very much in Math and Physics, those subjects were always hard for me, heck even 7th grade Algebra is still a fearsome challange for me. The question is: Is it possible to learn Math and Physics if you never understood it and always failed it. I tried to read many books and solve many questions but even the easiest ones are just a huge wall for me. I destroyed my nervous system so many times trying to learn it and understand it, I even beat myself but in the end I fucking failed it, it just doesnt work out for me. I cant change the degree because others dont give any money at all, and considering the current state of the world I dont want to starve or whats even worse die.

They’re not intelligent enough to understand it, and they don’t have enough memory to remember it.
That’s basically a good way to test if someone is an NPC.
If you call them that, then they forget like two weeks later, they are probably an NPC.

>>16131622
How do you know you yourself are not an NPC? Because from my point of view you are one. So maybe other NPCs are not even aware of that so they don't give a fuck like you.

They don't understand what it means and implies (besides being able to recite literal definition of the meme, which is being a person without inner life), but they still take offense to it because they understand you are using it in a dismissive sense, which hurts their feelings.
It's like a dog that responds to baby talk. He doesn't understand what the fuck the lady is talking about, but he is still happy and excited he is baby talked to.
Normies are the same, but in a non-positive way.

>>16131622
I generally assume if you use the term "NPC" you are an NPC. Non-NPCs don't try to stick out by using language like that. They stay low and try to fit in to avoid social friction because making yourself stick out is the #1 way to get hammered down.

if I'm being honest with myself I'm closer towards christfags than atheists, just that in a way that I feel embarrassed by them. they're like my retarded cousin or something.
if all of this doesn't scare you then you haven't been paying attention. the mere fact of anything existing at all is what should ring all alarm bells for anyone. science at least did this thing wrong, took all this strangeness out of it, like all of this IS FUCKING NORMAL! which it fucking isn't. and science may have had a point if it wasn't for the fucking quantum bullshit. I'm agnostic but there is fuckery with our "reality"/experience. so life after "death" is quite possible, and not only that, it will make fucking sense, once there in "afterlife" whatever.

I honesly don't know.
You know what? Try taking a walk, or watching a youtube video, or whatever you want, and just watch, and don't try to judge everything you see, just observe it. You need to build it from the ground up, build it up from your senses, rather than coming up with some meaning right now, let it come, don't try to interpret it. Just shut your mind for a while and try to see, hear, smell, whatever applicable, as much as possible. Hope it helps you to connect with the world.

>>16129321
No, he wouldn't have a concept or understanding of death, so he also can't fear it.
If he is top tier smart (130+ IQ being a necessary but not a sufficient criterion) he will have a tendency towards philosophical musings. And if that is the case, he might derive the existence of death from his own non-existence prior to a point. But merely above-average or below person? Forget about it. Billions of people have been born, lived, and died happily never once wondering what it implies that they apparently did have no pre-existence, either (but they wonder very much about their post-existence, hence Abrahamic religion).
>>16131842
You have not thought this through. Getting older is neither conceptually linked to dying, nor is death as a consequence somehow an obvious inference for someone of average intelligence. Though I do think what I said also applies here: the high intellect could derive the conclusion that him getting more frail => at one point, so frail that a critical life support system fails.
But again, the subject is raised entirely without knowledge from the outside world. To him, it isn't even obvious he is made of organs, or that organs are necessary to life.

No he isn't. You are most likely a spambot.
