Is pyrrhonism the perfect system?
Awakening phenomena of buddhism can bea false experience and there is no way to verify them or other buddhist dogma.

I took the Pyrrho pill last year as well OP. Or should I say, the Pyrrho anti-toxin...

>> No.17284225

Pyrrho most likely never saw a Buddhist in his life and if he did, it would have been impossible to interact with them
Less than two years travelling across a massive multilingual land is not really conductive towards learning any specific language like some retards seem to claim

I would be careful about reading Advaita Vedanta interpretations such as Shankara's as a commentary to the Upanishads, they are extremely reliant on Buddhist philosophy (Shankara is called a "cryptobuddhist" by most Hindus, and most scholars agree). If you want to read the Upanishads, work through them with editions and commentaries that aren't sectarian, or at least read an interpretation that is closer to the original meaning of the Upanishads, rather than Shankara's 9th century AD quasi-buddhism.

yeah sure, maybe in ancient greece or other small-scale societies that managed to organize politically to overcome the law of the jungle. when the thing starts growing tho, it becomes inapplicable irl.

that thing is the equivalent of stuff like shamanism in random tribes. it is a method of social regulation that can only be actually applied when there is a consistent social organization at its base.

philosophies are ideologies just like religions: their only reason to exist is to regulate the social organization of a given group, by providing a seemingly-external confirmation to its arbitrary (but necessary) form.
