Just me or is philosophy actually a complete shitshow? When I was younger I really wanted to major in philosophy because I thought it was "learning to think real good about abstract stuff", but eventually found out it was "quoting other famous people's stuff at each other"

i can't tell if they're doing some weird actually original and good mental jujitsu while using other philosopher's ideas as pawns, or if they are actually completely unoriginal and think that good thinking is just knowing what other good thinkers think. I can't tell.

As much as I shit on the rationalist community, this is a big part of why I love them - on a whole, they're a level of well-read and nerdy and *don't* pull the philosopher namedropping card. It's glorious.

So I was thinking, and I realized, ethics is bullshit and it’s just about who has the most power at any given time. And maybe it's fine for us to all be pursuing power. What say ye?

"by this point if i'm at a party and i'm like 'yea but what's it like to feel the sense of thinking' and then someone says 'yeah well einstein said-' i just am done, immediately, like my next battle plan is to figure out how to erase scientists from their mind"

Well, Plato once said, “if she doesn’t want to bang, just tell her your going to wank in the other room, she’ll come crawling back to ya”
