Is this true?
>>25186126Dimwits don't understand Nietzsche or endorse him. His philosophy is anti-dimwit, even.I agree with the midwit applications, however.
>>25186126Missing Kant in the midwit section.
>>25186126No
>>25186126Wittgenstein in the midwit section is wrong. You should try reading normies online trying to grasp his postulates
not really. past neetch there's really only schopenhauer or, excuse me for saying this, psychoanalysis.
>>25186134>>25186136>>25186142Is this true?
BEHEAD ALL TWITTER BAPTARDS THAT CLAIM NIETZCHE AFTER A CHATGPT SUMMARY
>>25186146Replace camus with Plato
>>25186138Wittgenstein is what people who start off as Russell fans because of the structure of their philosophy courses believe themselves to graduate into.If anything, inadvertantly positioning him on the lower-end was the mistake.
>>25186146who the fuck cares about camus
replace Nietzsche with Sanderson
>>25186171Absurdism in its spirit is commonly adopted by people who consider themselves to be above average intelligence, but not terribly explicitly melancholic in their disposition, moreso just apathetic, diffident, and disinterested, and in their low energy state, choose to forego hardcore depressive nihilism in favor of a 'shikata ga nai' attitude which views the universe as random and comically indifferent to its own machinations.In other words, it's the favored philosophy of slackers.
>>25186181Capeshit
>>25186146>CuminmyassKek, no.
>>25186146well is it?
>>25186126No. I suspect the categories being represented in this post have less to do with the philosophers themselves and more with the sort of readers they attract. These are:>14 year old's understanding of philosophy (Nietzsche = god is ded, nobody understands my pain)>first year undergrad's understanding of philosophy (these are the authors that allow me to be the most annoying in philosophical discussions with peers)>whatever you personally want to read into Nietzsche (being racist online is uh, will to power or whatever)None of these are particularly subtle or refined, but honestly the type in the middle probably has the best understanding of philosophy as they actually try to engage with philosophical arguments. Anyone that sticks exclusively to Nietzsche just ends up reading their half-baked worldview into him because Nietzsche remains vague enough to be able do that.
>>25186138
Do any of you have your own philosophical views? Or do you simply parrot what others say?
>>25187252>formed many views over the years which included viewing human existence as nothing but the subconscious impulses driving us to survive>saw sexual pleasure as merely an illusion of the urge to reproduce. Believing it to be otherwise is to deny the impulses which drive us to seek sex>saw love as therefore an illusion in itself, and just a mere desire to create and produce progeny.>believed in some blind subconscious drive which made us live, which would only entail an infinite amount of suffering for no purpose. This drive was contained in every aspect of the world. Joy would only be temporary and illusory, while suffering was everywhere. >believed women were immature in being interested in merely illusions and the material world>grew to despise nearly everyone else (mainly the ostensible normies) and the vast seas of midwits which dwell within my anti-intellectual country - Australia. Then I read Slopenhauer and realised he just took everything I ever thought of, and elucidated it more clearly. This also happened to me after reading Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher", as I was writing a novel almost identical to it without ever reading Poe's novella. I mean certain sentences were concerningly identical. This disturbed me greatly.
>>25186132I think it's moreso that Nietzsche sometimes says very dimwit things but other times deeply profound things
I do not care about philosophyI think it's a waste of time personally
>>25187252Your "own" philosophy was most likely already formulated by someone with 30 more IQ points than you. A good rule of thumb is that you're never nearly as unique as you think you are.
>>25187278marvel and manga are more (You)
>>25187286I love philosophy and also manga (jiro taniguchi), video gaymes and anime (although I haven't seen an anime since 2022). These things are not mutually exclusive.
>>25187278You are a parasitic moron. Everyone is tired of your stupidity, you disgusting ape. You resemble man no less than you resemble a snake, spitting your dark toxin onto the rest of society. May you find peace underneath a crag, hidden from society, you insipid troglodyte.
>>25187290terrorists put a gun to your head and ask you to pick one
>>25187252Yes but it's tied up with my own inner language and symbols so I can't articulate it because it won't make sense to anyone else. If your philosophy can be put into words it belongs in the midwit tier.
>>25187318 (me)To add to this, you could articulate it with someone who's close to you, who you developed the philosophy with, based on shared experiences over the years and therefore you both can understand what the terms you use actually mean.
>>25187299Video games. Then philosophy. I've read enough of the masterworks to be consider myself satisfied (including the complete works of Nietzsche, Aristotle, Plato, various other Greeks including Epicurus, Schopenhauer, Wittgenstein, Leibniz, Hume, Spinoza, Stirner, Descartes etc and also a lot of Kant, Bauer etc), and I don't want to forever dabble in retarded debates on specific terms within metaphysics. Vidya are one of the few illusions in life which bring me genuine joy. I've beaten probably around 2000 games across nearly every system for instance, yet I crave them daily. However, I'd choose philosophy over manga and anime easily.
>>25187321Ignore the typos
>>25186126The older I get, the less I can take Nietzsche seriously. Even the worst and laziest criticism of his work seems to have a kernel of truth to it.
>>25187331even hitlers?
>>25187321>>25187325you talk like an addict. get that checked out.
>>25186126Commenting on the self-referential nature of this meme is obviously middle tier.
>>25187273me too. It's not that impressive anon. It just means you picked up the nihilism that filtered down in the culture from schop in your formative years. Wisdom is realizing you know nothing without he accrued knowledge of the past.
>>25186146Camus is a very normie philosopher, though.>>25187346Hehe le cat is le long
>>25187384>it's not that impressive anonIt is and I am most impressive! I am schopenhauer jr lol. >>25187339By who? Psychology is for retarded pseuds and stupid women.
Just need a catgirl tranny fascist dancing in the background with Deleuze above them
>>25186126Philosophers are but failed novelists
>>25187243Proving his point
>>25187321>read so much>doesn't realise vidya is just simulacra of soldier life or hero fantasy so basically cravings between thanatos and eros, ignores women and surrounds himself with illusions to forget the pain and feel anything, doesn't look for things past his material flesh, won't try to break from samsara oh look it's another call of duty pew pew pew ratatattatatatata die die die pixels yeah dopamine yes yes yes thank you brain I'm brave I'm worthy I'm awesome, I wonder when will musk create vr pods so I can completely suffocate in matrix like neo mmmm arch burger is tasty
>>25186133Kant is a smart boy leave him alone.
>>25187949I kant
>>25186146Hah! Very funny! Go back to your Reddit Camus thread which isn’t even about his philosophy, instead it’s full of faggots like you sucking him off for his “game”.
>>25187252>a random book because it looked coolAre women really this fucking vain? And now she’s wasted money on something she isn’t even going to try and understand. Instead she’ll post on social media how “quirky” and “different” she is for buying Wittgenstein.
>>25187252holy based
>>25187297You sound like Jordan Peterstein. Just say "fuck you midwit idiot"
>>25187947>won't try to break from samsaraAnd have (you), escaped the Samsara yet?
>>25188067my ascension removes me from the disk and the loop. some mornings, i can almost see nibbana
>>25187961Oh… silly me, I meant to reply to this >>25187243
>>25188071But yet still here. In the game with participation that is mandatory regardless. The only way out is dying, whether for ascension or destruction. You are here. Don't forget that, and don't think yourself better than the other players because you assume you've escaped. Hubris is the bane obstruction on the journey to nibanna, don't burn your wings, Icarus.
>>25188103i'll never reproduce, at least. still working on extinguishing the three fires
>>25187947>this world is an illusion! You must seek spiritual enlightenment and cast off your worldly desires! >...and possessions, obviously. Of course you also need to act in a very specific way that just so happens to align exactly with my material interests which I deny are important. If you are a good goy and serve me faithfully you will be rewarded in the afterlife. Not me though I'm rewarded here and the afterlife.another hapless victim of the plato jewsad!
>>25188199>platojewevery tradition ties salvation/enlightment with leaving earthy possesion behind inb4 they are all greedy jews grrr>give your jacket away>sell your house>spend yoir last dime ON POORhow is that greed, I'm not a priest lol I get nothing material from you
>>25186126
>>25188257those who read nietzsche too soon, become jungians. those who read nietzsche too late, become freudians. nietzsche is only understood by those who read him too late
>>25188261I don't read nietzsche at all
>>25186126Reading philosophy is gay, you're letting another man's thoughts penetrate your mind, that's gay. Really though, the problem with philosophy is that so long as it's internally coherent then any philosophy will make sense. And all those words words words will just distract you from it's fundamental assumptions. You'll end up creating a palace of concepts in your mind yet be more deluded than ever. Philosophizing needs to be recognized for what it is, as maps, you want a good map but you don't want to mistake the map for reality; being too cerebral isn't a good thing.>>25187252This
