I like figuring things out; once I've figured it out and it becomes routine, I have a really hard time making myself do the routine. So I'm taking a break from onlyfans for a month or two. I figured out how to do it, so now I'm gonna focus on other projects.

It feels dumb cause I make so much from onlyfans so it feels bad to step away from it, like I'm leaving a lot on the table. But I'm trying to be more ok chasing passion, especially when I have a bit of a safety net now.

I don't think I want to read old dead philosophers. I think often their ideas aren't very good, or are outdated, and they're often horrible at communicating, which is often a sign of unclear thinking. I want to approach thinking raw and unprotected.

you really are a fascinating person. But even with your intellect, we all stand on the shoulders of giants. Are you intelligent enough to figure out everything, given sufficient time. I have no doubt. But most advancements, whether they be inventions, art, or (1/2)

or schools of thought, are incremental improvements over the state of the art. Sure, there are the revolutionary developments, but most improvements are more evolutionary. I have 2 questions 1) Did I miss your point? 2) or does philosophy just doesn't ignite your passion?

I have read works by people who were really formative to my thinking. I don't mean that learning from others is bad - I mean that the type of learning they seem to have you do from the type of people you study in Philosophy, seem unusually bad compared to other things.
