He never seriously studied them. His main concern was the European tradition, from the Greeks up to modern Christianity.

Most of Western philosophy is just some verbose stuff that tries to reach the summit Chad Zi is already at.
Honestly though, I enjoy reading it, it's fun to see them try. But at the end of the day there's little debate over who wins the round of human thought. And it ain't some skinnyfat white dude in fuzzy grandpa sweaters and buttoned shirts, proud of his personal library of memes, who, in his spare time, does BDSM with some sag titted hooked nose femlectual.

Yes, simplicity doesn't allow genuine and nuanced representation or thought that relates to reality (which includes oneself). It dismisses the huge ocean of complex truth to be content with finding comfort in disingenuous simplicity, in doing so dismissing truth.

Also OP's pic is false, they're baseless, flowery words that make no real point and probably not even translated/conveyed correctly.

how can you live anywhere other than the present?

what, is depression a way of fucking time travelling?

everyone occupies the present/is present, depressed happy sad and alike

I think the fact that lou-sy was a chink gives him some sort of social proof to these western whites. some sort of chink wisdom these idiots project onto this gook idiot, which allows them to look past the idiot of this nip cunt and falsely take seriously the nonsense this slant is putting out

if it was a white guy saying this idiot poetry nonense, people would be DUDE WEEDING lol allan watts tier psuedo-spiritual idioting him, and they'd be right.

why is that when a chink some says stupid shit everyone shits their pants like he's saying something profound

reminds me of how when a chink meditates it's deep and spiritual and ancient wisdom gook in le sutra pose, but when a white does it, it's laughable, it's appropriation, it's a white doing something that doesn't belong or involve him. because for some reason chinks are privy to things whites aren't

it's the same with all chink religions. gook buddhism, taoism, hindiusm - it all gets a past. even though, like all religions they involve stupid shit like gods and reincarnation and karma and ancestor worship and other gook nonsense, westerners give them a free pass - unlike islam and chr*stiantity and the kikes, why? ancient gook wisdom whites aren't privy to of course.

it's a dumb fucking religion for idiot chinks, it's only respected or given the time of day as a sort of 'racism of low expectations' from whites towards chinks.
