Trying to get into philosophy and was told a good starting point was Buddhism, and stoicism texts. Just wondering if you guys had any recommendations outside this. I honestly have no clue what im getting into but i havent been doing jack shit lately so thought itd be a good idea to dive into this.

I am babby. How do my parents expect me to learn English if I can't speak English?

English is my first language and half the time when I am reading Shakespeare I have no clue what he's saying either. Sometimes entire paragraphs of apparent gibberish will only be made sensible by one line that's reasonably relatable to modern English. It often genuinely feels like reading a different language, like how when I read German and can pick up on bits and pieces of words I know to get the gist of what is being said even though I don't actually speak German.

I have now reached a point where my worldview has become too idiosyncratic and esoteric for anything I say to make sense to anyone in fleeting conversation. At least that is the impression I get here, since most of the time when I try to contribute to a discussion I either get no replies or one or two replies calling me a retard. I actually don't browse lit much anymore because of it.

as someone who's most influential philosopher has been Spengler, these threads indeed read like schizo garbage. His most valuable idea is his method of historical analysis, not his fortune telling. It is of course due to the rightoids on /lit/ who read trash like Evola and are attracted to Spengler because of the ominous sounding title The Decline of the West. If you read the book he has almost nothing to say about the decline of the West in 1.2k pages. As to why its called that is another story.

You want to remind me what's the fucking point of going there? There is nothing there. NOTHING. At least the original space race was a dick measuring contest, this is an even more pointless waste of resources.

There are reasons they act that way. I'm not saying they're right to be acting that way. Generation Z grew up with psychological conditions unique to any other generation in history. When your parents neglect you entirely and leave you with unrestricted internet access, you aren't going to grow into a person with a healthy social life and healthy worldviews. You don't seem to be making a true effort to understand these people, or perhaps you are incapable of understanding. I'm also not sure if you're aware of the fact that members of all generations are capable of falling victim to delusional and hateful echo chambers.

Now you're accusing me of being in cahoots with the other guy, and accusing one or both of us of being the OP of not just this, but other Junger threads that you don't like as well.

I keep saying this to you. There is a reason you keep getting called a schizo. The irony is that you are the only easily identified poster across threads because you're a nut.
