There's no such thing as Eastern "philosophy", only delusional bullshit cope for midwits who can't read proper philosophy.

>>15044370
indeed, all 'philosophy' is a degeneration of true wisdom, aka Traditional Metaphysics

>>15044370
Eastern is infinitely more rewarding, but both are impediments. Western philosophy is for midwits unironically, convoluted garbage for retards like yourself, east similar, but there is more gold there, both ultimately are as I said impediments towards knowledge

>>15044395
Unfounded opinion, evidently you've read nothing.

>>15044417
Reading is an impediment to knowledge

>>15044417
Western and Eastern philosophy is just going in circles if you think one is better you are deluded

>>15044424
Reading zen garbage is, yes, as it leads you to thinking such aphoristic riddles possess some kind of profound truth. When in fact, they're mere brainteasers that are best suited for fortune cookies.

What's annoying is that there is an endless stream of your kind (115-125 IQ range) who think you're smarter than you are because you can write your own fortune cookies.

Here's a suggestion: get a job writing brainteasers for a fortune cookie company.

Oh wait, the entire global economy is collapsing all around us and nobody gives a fuck about fortune cookies in this new reality.

>>15044450
Who said anything about Zen? You dont even understand or fathom Zen first off, the point of Zen is not gain, but removing the veil, which you couldnt do so you are bitter

>>15044450
And someone would retort saying Western is just conceptual dribble. I mean cmon man look at Hegel, Kant, Plato etc they are just as gay as Eastern. Both impediments to knowledge, unless you like going in circles

>>15044461
Yeah, of course not. Of course I couldn't possibly fathom your fortune cookie cult that was designed to sell as a cultural product to American tourists who were interested in having sex with Asian women. I'm sure scientologists would tell me I just "don't get Xenu" as well. Blind fool.

based chad freethought

>>15044473
The Western analytical mind and its mistakes...

>>15044470
You haven't read Kant or Hegel, whereas I have. You have no authority to speak on these matters, whereas I do.

>>15044481
The fortune cookie zen addled mind and its insufferable Dunning-Kruger arrogance...

>>15044490
Both are worthless shit just throwing shit at the wall hoping something sticks, convoluted nonsense your impressionable self eats up and thinks you did something.
>>15044499
Both are AIDS

>>15044490
appealing to authority and dunnen krueger. you've disclassified yourself, old boy. turn around and go home.

>>15044510
>>15044510
Learn how to read, you absolute dumb fuck. I'm stating that I, as someone who has read Kant and Hegel, have relative authority to speak on their work in contrast to you, who has not read Kant and Hegel.

>>15044549
>as someone who has read Kant and Hegel
OH NO NO NO NO NO

>>15044390
indeed, all 'american pizza' is a degeneration of true pizza, aka traditional Neapolitan

>>15044549
>appeal to authority
>and that authority is myself
I've read Kant and Hegel and I can tell with authority that you're a dumbass

>>15044359
Agreed. The only "true" knowledge can be gained from an economics degree.

>>15044574
Hegel makes no sense

>>15044574
Lol. Literal fucking retard. As I said, learn how to read.

>>15044598
epic troll bro

>>15044585
correct.

>>15044598
>If I keep repeating myself, I'll get a different outcome!
I'm sorry, I'm the retard here? Your posturing about who and who you haven't read isn't relevant to the discussion whatsoever, and anyone proclaiming to be an authority on the internet about anything should be instantly disregarded for being incapable of demonstrating said authority. What makes you think anything you have to say has inherent value?

>>15044359
Anon, anti-philosophy is still philosophy

>>15044632
No posturing, you just have no reading comprehension. I'm not lambasting you for not reading Hegel and Kant, I'm lambasting you for making authoritative claims about Hegel and Kant when you have no authority to do so, having evidently not read either. Then, you fallaciously used the 'appeal to authority' fallacy against me, because you didn't understand this simple point I was making due to your low intellect, lack of ability to read and gross misunderstanding of logical fallacies.

>>15044678
>having evidently not read either
And how would you know that? My first post was >>15044574. You're so dumb you can't even check the post count lmao. You're still posturing about what I have read, and still talking about "authority" like it has any relevance, when anyone who genuinely was an authority on such matters would be able to SHOW their knowledge, and not just endlessly posture, like you're doing now.

>>15044479
I'm finally a chad in something

>>15044479
>philosophy is a series of mental puzzles
so chad freethought is analytic philosophy?

>>15044705
Sorry, I got caught up in the threadgeist and falsely attributed your post to the previous idiot - although I still didn't "appeal to authority" in any sense, which means you're also a dumbass or haven't read the thread properly either.

>>15044771
read my post again, midwit. I was mocking you for posturing about appealing to yourself as an authority, when you're not even capable enough to demonstrate that knowledge. This is the third time I have stated this, and it will likely go ignored a third time, because you don't have the intellectual faculties to talk about these thinkers you've (allegedly) read.
