pls /lit/ for the love of god don't get into philosophy
don't repeat my mistakes, my mind got poisoned to the point of psychosis
if you absolutely can't resist stick to something practical like ethics but I wouldn't risk it

Kek you just weren’t built for it, I already had episodic amnesia and was mentally ill and never left my house before I ever studied philosophy.

Theology is poison, philosophy is coping , and science is as real as Rodin’s le penseur.

Philosophy is unironically the last line of defence for the establishment's system. It is a spiritually castrated form mental masturbation, taken out of the esoteric belief systems and perverted into mass appeal by removal of all the profound ideas. As is religion, which is always a diluted version of the hidden truth's the public is not at liberty to know about.

Some philosophers hold appeal, if only because they decided to embrace the role of a stepping stone designed to catapult you towards pursuit of esoteric systems. Individuals such as these get a pass for they do more good than harm in the long run, as a lot of individuals who pick Jung and Evola sooner or later transcend the mortal confines of normie thoughts and ascend into the alchemical process of seeking the truths about Archeus's Great Work.

Evola was right. Reject the modern overt world in it's totality. Let go of it's thinkers, even those that critique said world for their critique is more often than not a form of controlled opposition, designed to carefully steer you into the falsehoods of the Materia Mondus.

A bunch of garbage navel gazing hand waving delusions.
You became delusional.
You were attracted to the delusions of others because you were predisposed to have a delusional mind.

Perfect storm.

You read Plato. Socrates thought one could become a proper philosopher by the age of 40 after a strict regimen and if possessing a warrior character. Thus young men should first excel in sports and fighting, then acquire experience, then practice sciences and then start philosophizing.
You did not.

Also Schoppy. Don't repeat books, think for yourself about your own personal problems. You are not an emperor neither a city mayor, you don't do politics so you have no reason to delve into political philosophy.

Try Michael Della Rocca's "Parmenidean Ascent". It ended philosophy for me.

Not flushing your toilet because you’re afraid of harassment from your neighbors has absolutely nothing to do with philosophy. Address that mental illness anon, it’s not going away. If you believe everything is real and so it is ultra important not to get harassed by your neighbors, you will do this. And if you believe everything is fake and so your neighbors could be nightmare demons who are out to get you, you will still do this. It’s not about the nature truth or meaning. It’s about a feeling of paranoia. I have two schizophrenic family members, my mother and uncle. They do this stuff all the time. Live as total shut ins, dependent on my grandma. My mother thinks the neighbors are watching her through the walls with infrared radiation and will attack her if she doesn’t clean the way they’d want. My uncle thinks everyone is trying to steal his money so he never wants to talk to strangers or go out in public. I’m not saying it’s that bad for you, but that’s where it can lead, and neither of them read at all - heck, my uncle flunked out of high school and has never heard of most philosophers. Just go see a therapist, for real.

Now, you're finally ready. You're ready to read Hegel.
