for real.

People be tweeting shit like this >>15809380, thinking that they're aphorisms worthy of Nietzsche himself. Form is important. This board is for the literary. All these god damn post-post forward unironic idealist but secretly self-depriciating meta-ironic intellectuals need to close their mouths for a while and read some fucking books. So too the people that feel the need to post about them, especially here.

Ok, brainlet, here's the deal. If you say that
>. Actions are amalgam of the desperate need to avoid pain and seek pleasure...
Then why do you make yourself suffer the psychological pain of this existential crisis? Clearly, if you didn't care for concepts like truth and you didn't need the existence of right and wrong, you wouldn't be suffering about it. So, it does seem important to you that truth exists and that you CAN distinguish right from wrong, good from evil. And yet you think that it doesn't. But wouldn't a creature that only cared about avoiding suffering just ignore the non-existence of truth? And apparently you can't just accept that there is no objective reality and just PRETEND like the world is real. Like most normal people do. That would surely lessen your suffering, and yet you feel the need to exist in a world with a knowable Truth. Why is that?

I think it's pretty cool that he uploads so much content on actual philosophy instead of the super popular channels that make extremely slanted 4 minute videos on similar topics. Even bread tube doesn't really focus on any primary texts like he does. There always seems to be an agenda. Sure, he has his own biases, but all in all, its nice to watch a lecture after reading a primary text. I'm a fuckin' midwit, I can't just keep reading all day. It's good reinforcement, and I get to see if I missed anything or disagree with someone else's interpretation. It's also interesting to see that he has had more viewers than a professor would teach students in their entire career. Yeah, he's bitter and gets angry and butthurt about little things, but I think thats kinda the charm. He tries so hard to apply what he learns, but he can't get over himself.

Now I know you are a pseud. There is an epistemological difference, a difference by definition between both the ideas and the words a priori synthetic and empirical. They are methodologically different. If we are arguing if a hotdog is a sandwich, that’s one thing, but this is another.

> Good is not gooder than happiness, happiness determines goodness.
Can you prove this? The idea of goodness may or may not exist outside of us as perceiving entities, we are limited to observe though our current faculties, and hell, that might be all there is, but it is also possible that it isn’t. In this case as a skeptic it is only proper to assume there is goodness out there in a transcendental Schrodinger's cat sort of way since it could apply to both states of possible reality. This is basic idealism. Here’s a meme if it makes it easier for you to understand.

i had to do it

I've had this idea for a long time. Recently, I started writing an "epic" I know it's hard but it's just for me and I wanted to finally get it out. It's the creation of a dictator told by himself in front of the court which he is being judged for his war crimes. Essentially it is a study on how dictators come to be. In that note, I would like to ask for some books which could help me give more depth to the story.

Pessimism isn't realism. Like with most things in life, the truth is often found somewhere in the middle, amidst a sea of greys.
