>…it is said, by Plotinus himself, that he was breastfed until the age of eight. When he got thirsty he went to his wet nurse and bared her breasts in order to suck; he finally stopped after she rebuked him harshly.

is this really what everything comes down into? is every product of our mind, everything from mystical to divine to diabolic just a shadow data of our genes? is matter all there is?

>>14758647
Philosophy is a Western discipline, eastern metaphysics need not apply. Though the Upanishads and Gita are indeed great resources. Heraclitus was alright but we don't have sufficient knowledge of his ideas to know for sure what his philosophy fully entailed. Stoics are a meme. Nietzsche is an anti-philosopher, more of a poet really. He still has some good ideas and is definitely worth reading but he is no Hegel/Kant/Plotinus/Aristotle/Plato.
