do u come to sri lanka?

Lol Kant<Wittgenstein.

1. Plato
2. Sellars
3. Wittgenstein
4. Kant
5. Hegel

Let's be serious now. All philosophy is gobbledygook except for master Wittgenstein, he simply was able to discover the essence of the world, while fucking Nietzsche is just a fake philosopher who died alone and is only for edgy kids who wanna pretend to be nihilists.

average nietzsche *reader*

>>9159211
Wow I finished all their works except Kant (critique of reason excluded) before 22. You're seriously lacking.

>>9159276

I'm going to take you at your word, in which case surely you realize that you're a little ahead of the pack?

In all honesty, I'm usually impressed when someone my age has a reading hobby or habit at all. I'm shocked and impressed if they've read a single book by a major philosopher.

>>9159203
this is a pleb question but who are the top two?

>>9159303
you MUST be joking, right?

>>9159313
top one looks like mark twain. that's all i got.

>>9159313
second one is john stuart mill?

>>9159322
>>9159326
you're both right.

>>9159303
mark twain and martin van buren

I've only read a few famous pieces from each of those in the OP, but Kant is the one I understood the least (I basically learned nothing at all reading Kant, everything I "know" about Kant comes from later philosophers talking about him)

So I'm therefore inclined to believe Kant should be at the bottom

The other ones are great though, I don't think any of them deserve to be considered "small brain material"

>>9159203
Of those four, I'd slot Memegenstein above Mill and it would be fixed.

>>9159242
Hegel is not superior to Kant.

Handsome enough and I've transcended humility/arrogance. My autism has allowed me to the realized the illusion of the self and thus the need to maintain pride/face.

Now do you want to be my lucky lady or not? I don't need you, I have everything I need in my cupboard, water bottle, bank account and Kindle. I'm not confident, I'm certain of the Truths I've established through rational deduction that allow me to see the world through the lens of matter of fact. I have no anxiety or regrets. I only experience the emotions I allow myself to feel. I've transcended the paradigm you're living in, take my hand and I'll pull you to my side THROUGH THE POWER OF LOVE.

Holy shit, this is my best work yet lol

This. It's a vicious cycle.

>>9161220

You're right, makeup is a scam. Cave women didn't wear makeup and cave men loved them as much as one can love. The difference between those primitive humans and today's humans is that highly engineered marketing is now used to trick little boys and girls into thinking that makeup makes girls look better. In the short term, sure. But after years of abuse to their skin women begin looking like shit. For alphamales this isn't a problem because they dump you when you get old and then go fuck tight, beautiful 20 year olds. The patriarchy isn't men vs. women, it's alpha males subjugating women, farming their beauty through standards of fashion/makeup, and harvesting their reward by fucking as many 10/10s as they can find.

Read more critical theory, read Marx, and rewatch They Live. All of commercialism is a giant scam used to control humans for the gain of a few.

You know this is true, you've experienced the scam of makeup. Please believe me and set yourselves free.

>>9161266
Everything is a "scam" in that sense, cockfarmer.

You cry and whine because idiots allow themselves to be psychologically manipulated by advertisement, and you think this psychological weakness will somehow dissipate after your glorious "global revolution"? You don't have to buy anything, you don't have to "believe in capitalism," neither do you have to assault it like a living man and set up for yourself a new heaven of "communism."

All of that, is to say: I do not need to believe you, or "believe in what you say," to use freedom for myself, you self righteous chucklefuck

I agree with Nietzsche being for mongs, unironically.

>>9161360

Just because a lot of mongs read Nietzsche, doesn't mean Nietzsche is for mongs.

He'd probably be embarrassed at the sorts of people reading him nowadays. Most of then, anyway.

>idiots allow themselves to be psychologically manipulated by advertisement

They can't help being manipulated, I am guiding them to enlightenment.

>you think this psychological weakness will somehow dissipate

Yes, through the power of reason I can show people the truth.

>"global revolution"

Christ did it, Muhammed did it. Why can't I?

>You don't have to buy anything, you don't have to "believe in capitalism," neither do you have to assault it like a living man and set up for yourself a new heaven of "communism."

Woah, woah, woah. I'm redpilled, friend. I understand the necessity of capitalism, but we're reaching the end of that phase of humanity. We don't need it because of automation. I am guiding people away from the idea that we need to work as automation replaces the necessity of capitalism.

> chucklefuck

Hmmm, I wonder where you got this from, The Dick Show, perhaps? Listen, buddy, I control Dick, The Dick Show is my show. Dax Harrara talks to me once a week and I tell him what to say on air. I email him his "notes" for the show and then call him for 10 minutes to explain what's going on in the world. I set the whole thing up as a way to make few bucks a month on 30 minutes of work weekly. He's a microphone for my ideas and I'm using him to make money to support myself as I control the rest of humanity with my other reins.

>>9161405
>They can't help being manipulated, so I will manipulate them
You will certainly try.

>through the power of my reason I can manipulate people to my ends
You certainly can.

>Christ did it, Muhammad did it, why can't I
Again, you can (or could). I'm asking you why you would want to storm heaven for the umpteenth time.

>I'm redpilled
Ok, I guess this is why you would want to storm heaven again. The heaven you want to set up is, it then seems, the inversion of the communist one, i.e. one step past communism in the "dialectic." Although it's difficult to criticize your idiocy since you haven't made any substantive claims other than "I am a messiah" and "I am redpilled." What does this "redpill" mean to you? Also, I like how long you spent describing your reaction to the word "chucklfuck," that amuses me.

who's the 2nd and 4th one? I recognise Neitzsche and Kant.

I'm really drawn out and my POS macbook pro doesnt have the productivity tools nor the ram to sustain the burden I'm putting on it so I'll do my best to get into the frame of mind that I wrote the post you are replying to in.

Through rationalism, be it Cartesian, Spinozian or Leibnizian, I've realized that there are indubitable truths that I can use to establish the veracity of my thoughts.

1) I'm certain that I'm experiencing something because I can't possibly be experiencing nothing. I know this is truth because Wittengenstein proved that the consistent relationship between things in the world proves that it must exist in some capacity be it real or illusory. The consisestancy internal.

2) The Ethics is sound work.

3) Leibniz's conception of a perfect God, perfect universe and pain in conjunction with Spinoza's monism proves that a limited being is imperfect. And that anything that exists is limited. I know that something exists because becuase my concious awareness is experiencing something adn that something has to exist in some capicity.

Sorry I'm very tire and can't be bothered to edit because I need to get some sleep. Hopefully this made some sense.

>>9163365
>I can't possibly experience nothing
What do you call dreaming then? You are literally experiencing no thing, that is, a fancy. I suppose you would call it a "real illusion," but that does not make sense, especially considering the Latin etymology, "illudere," literally "to mock" or "to play with." Illusions are not real, they do not "exist."

>refers me to a holy text
Whether or not I've read that work of Spinoza's, you're simply parroting another's viewpoints as your own.

>I know something exists because my conscious awareness is experiencing something
Again, what about dreaming? Are you somehow dead when you dream?

>>9163401

>What do you call dreaming then? You are literally experiencing no thing, that is, a fancy

The fantasy of dreams can only arise out of 1) A mind to create the dream 2) A consciousness, ie me, to experience the dream.

I know these two things with indubitable certainty because they are by they are deduced from their definition.

Whatever, Spinoza gives a better explanation in The Ethics.

>Whether or not I've read that work of Spinoza's, you're simply parroting another's viewpoints as your own.

I appreciate his work. He's 100% correct in what he said. I could go back and prove his work again, but I won't because that would be a waste of time because I know what he said is correct because it wouldn't be in that canon if it weren't.

>Again, what about dreaming? Are you somehow dead when you dream?

If I'm dreaming something exists. An evil genius cannot trick me into experiencing something if I don't exist. This is the fundamental truth of the Cogito.

>>9161184
superior beings

>>9163432
>a mind to create the dream
Sure.

>a consciousness to experience the dream
Do you remember your dreams then? If you don't, why do you think you don't?

>If I'm dreaming something exists
Ok, that's just nonsense. Yes, you're still there when you are sleeping, but are you aware of the fact that you're sleeping while you're dreaming? Do you at all times have awareness of your physical existence in your bed while you nurture these unconscious fancies (dreams)? Of course you don't, otherwise, you wouldn't be dreaming. Even if you dream lucidly, you're still only conscious of the non-existence (the dream), rather than the existence. The "fundamental truth" of the Cogito is -- nonsense. "I think, therefore I am"? Perhaps to the dreamless autist, this is a practical mode of operation
