only philosophy i need is marxism-leninism. everything else is bullshit wankery

existence is suffering

wew lad

Interested in egoism but I haven't even finished Der Einzige und sein Eigentum, so I can't really call myself an egoist.

Read Dauvé

Lifes meaningless so why care

We suffer because its easier than the alternatives.

Doing something may be difficult, but it's not impossible. If it's possible, there's a chance, however small, that I can do it.

That's probably it, but if I were to pick one particular branch of philosophy, Existentialism, especially the one based on the works of Kierkegaard.

Übermensch

Stoicism

Poop

The universe is absurd and making sense of it is impossible. But I've moved past nihilism and I just enjoy being part of enormous beautiful meaningless mess of life and consciousness and I'm grateful for my time here and try to appreciate every second of it.

Exactly my view, nothing matters but thats okay

God created maths

Bland Utilitarian Consequentialism

To be fair, that's true nihilism, there's no intrisic meaning to anything, so just enjoy yourself and be happy and help those who you want to help and all that. It's not really "Nothing matters, fuck this gay Earth."

>Nobody should demand that I live only for them, nor should I demand that others live solely for me

continental philosophy in general

We stand on the plane of free-will, yet often lost in the fog of determinism

Naturalist, but I think a pantheistic/interconnected perspective is uplifting, as well as fairly accurate.
Heidegger had the idea that you should always keep in mind that you're going to die, and live your life accordingly. I like that. Nietzsche said you should live your life as if you were going to be forced to relive it infinitely more times exactly the way you did this time. I like that even more. I don't believe in consciousness after death.

My favorite philosopher is probably Dogen, who founded the Soto school of Zen. It's the hardcore zazen school, that's all about focus and awareness. Basically, it's about removing yourself from human drama mentally, to refocus on what's actually important, as well as develop in the moment awareness so you can be completely honest with yourself in your given situation. This maximizes agency and helps break unhealthy patterns of behavior.

I'm for universal healthcare, access to education, and democratizing the workplace as much as possible. That said, though these are socialist positions, in terms of economic development I'm more capitalistic because I don't see socialist reforms as effective in poor countries.

Not all religions are made equally, and not all branches of all religions are equal. Because they're essentially philosophies, and some are more valuable than others. The only form of Christianity I care for is Quakerism. Sikhism is a nice religion. I'm fine with Judaism. The only forms of Islam I support are independent Sufists, especially the Bektashi and Alevis.

I'm for self-improvement, which includes fitness, avoiding junk food, and NoFap (I struggled with porn addiction). I'm generally anti-drug, though I would be up for trying certain psychedelics (mescaline, mushrooms, DMT). I only drink at parties, to loosen me up.

I tend to prefer music that feels emotionally honest, like hardcore punk, bebop jazz, and singer/songwriters.

I like Middle Eastern and Indian girls a lot, and would be fine with race mixing.

that's interesting. I'm not pretentious enough to go around telling people I'm a "TRUE nihilist" but thats nice to know lol. thanks user.

>I just enjoy being part of enormous beautiful meaningless mess of life and consciousness

What if i told you marx actually needed others philosophys to build his own therefore if you need marx you also need the others cause there wouldnt be a marx in the first place you know.....

>anybody with socialist "philosophy"

newsflash: marx wasn't a philosopher. he was a bourgeois slacker

>it's all shit but you gotta try so stay PURE minded

I wished that everytime someone posts this image their hands would just fell off

How can people genuinely believe in determinism?

I only said "determinism" because I could not think of a word that is the opposite of free-will. My point is is that we like to think that we always have have control over ourselves, and we can have self-control, but there are times where we can't control ourselves. There is something within us that makes us commit actions that we are consciously unaware.

I think determinism is right, and also completely worthless. What we do is determined by our mental processes, which in turn is determined by our own chemistry and environment. But who gives a shit? It's still on you to live the life you want to live.

hedonism

>it's yet another user pretends to be deep episode

i'll be here all week

I believe this is called absurdism, and I'm in the exact same boat as you.

"A sound mind in a sound body, is a short but full description of a happy state in this world" - John Locke

Waifuism

when i get a brain tumor i'm gonna take some of you with me

wow

ubermensch and antinomian sin abounding

Most of my philosphy boils down to the idea that as long as what you do doesn't physically harm another person (without their informed consent) you should be allowed to do that. That means I believe drugs, prostitution, assisted suicide, etc should be legalized for adults.
Most of this comes from nihilistic existentialism. No surprise I like the philosophy of Albert Camus. Might be a little more surprising that I also deeply enjoy Alan Watts. I don't really know or care to define what my religion is. Probably a hodgepodge of deism, Hinduism, and paganism. The only thing I particularly believe is that one or more beings created us for some purpose, whether it's for entertainment, research, or any other reason. I also regularly make use of entheogens.

you fucking fag. I can't believe you can write all of that and you probably feel like some big smart complex man. hahahaha i am lmaoing at you so hard. you are a joke

You're definitively the biggest faggot here, and that's saying something considering everyone else itt

He's a faggot that works at complex.

Work hard, try to be good to people.

you're a living meme congrats

stupid

true

both high tier

what's the philosophy of "i recognize, make peace with and grow with the physiological and biological changes happening in my body as well as recognize and make peace with what's going on in the external and live accordingly"

i also recognize how important expression is regardless of who's watching

i like you. you've probably been through a lot of pain in this life. you would adore jacques brel if it's emotional honesty you want

Nice, Bach would be proud

>True happiness is to approach oneness with God, which comes from living a virtuous and loving life
>Faith, etc, a la Kierkegaard
"Life must be lived looking forward but can only be understood looking backward"
>Politically, generally libertarian but lately have been moving further right

I just fucking hate this world, and the human worms feasting on its carcass. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred, and I always wanted to die violently. This is the time of vengeance, and no life is worth saving, and I will put in the grave as many as I can. It's time for me to kill and it's time for me to die; my genocide crusade begins here.

Pessimism, with a hint of Thelema

I would fuck you

Learn from my mistakes and move past them to become a better person in future. Why worry and regret things that are in the past?

>>The closest we can come to understanding God is through love
>>Politically, generally libertarian but lately have been moving further right
>yeah, instead of assisting helpless and poor people, we're gonna remake the country into an everybody for themselves mess. That's what Jesus would do

Pretty much this verbatim. I like your style.

I'm 22 years old and I'm still a virgin. I've never even kissed a girl. I've been through college for two and a half years, more than that actually, and I'm still a virgin. It has been very torturous. College is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure. Within those years, I've had to rot in loneliness. It's not fair. You girls have never been attracted to me. I don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it. It's an injustice, a crime, because... I don't know what you don't see in me. I'm the perfect guy and yet you throw yourselves at these obnoxious men instead of me, the supreme gentleman

damn

*tips your edgy pandering videogame*

anyone who uses the word "entheogens" is a fucking moron in my book. you're getting high - stop acting like it's anything more than that. unless you're literally an indigenous shaman you're not doing anything other than getting fucked up. i swear to god you people are the worst.

almost had me there

Blaming others for whatever failure you are is the most immature thing you can do. Same as hating the world completely, there's always good people out there, this site might not be a good conduit to see that.

Stop co-opting an album about punishing an edgy young man with misery, suffering and death.

i'm not sorry that you get triggered by established diction you petty little man

>god tier
absurdism
>high tier

>mid tier

>low tier

>shit tier
solipsism

Altruism with some nihilistic tendencies

he's right though

you're on Sup Forums, there's literally no reason to say "entheogens", it's very obvious that you're trying to kid other people or - more likely - yourself into thinking that you're doing something deep or productive when you're getting high. You're absolutely not.

Getting high is fine, just don't act like "dabbling in entheogens" is on par with making art or eating fine food or whatever.

>He fell for the "libertarianism equals memeball anarchocapitalism" shit
It comes from a general distrust of the status quo, especially with the recent wave of high-up politicians running things into the ground out of their own self-interests. Bush/Obama/McCain/Hillary are all heads of the same snake, the only reason they compete is over who of them gets the right to fuck you to further consolidate their power. None of them give a shit about the poor or anything that they spout to get reelected. The unfortunate would be much better taken care of by a system of charity instead of endless bureaucracy designed by the very politicians who are only in it for themselves/their pursuit of power.

I'm attracted to Derek Parfit's non-realist cognitivism view of moral truths and I accept a form of rule-consequentialism that includes a eudaemonic view of well-being. I think that the capabilities approach is the best theoretical framework (at the moment) for handling moral and political problems in the world. Basically, Aristotle and Aquinas were right until later analytic traditions developed more systematic and nuanced positions that accounted for issues plaguing earlier accounts.

I don't see any compelling positions to take in most metaphysical questions so I focus most of my attention on questions like, "What ought I to do?" or "How ought I live my life?" or "What makes a life satisfying and how can I achieve such satisfaction?" I also think the Nihilist and Relativist views of meaningful lives are generally not well thought out and collapse under minimal scrutiny or after reading an introductory article on the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on either.

it's only "very obvious" because you're operating as someone who chooses to correlate ulterior motives in the first place. why not take what's being said at face value? is it because it's drugs and it's taboo and makes you feel uncomfortable? why must you project insecurities? he seems well written and well read, what's the problem? so many questions -- fuck people like you.

clearly you have no idea how language works. take a linguistics class you child.

I guess it hits too close to home for you.

>"everyone in government is equally shit"
>meme
Pursuit of power is a form of Satanism. Effectively no one gets to national levels of influence without completely losing your soul to corruption and depravity. If there was ONE recent candidate/runner who I actually believed was trying to improve things for the average American I would have backed them with no problem. When the options given to you are a sociopathic warmonger or a depraved buffoon, how can you not feel disillusioned?
Notice I said ideal, there's still a ton of work to be done before that would actually work

Personal Philosophy: Mainly Naturalism(If you call that a philosophy, and consequentialism. I am boring.

Next time I attend a Spirit Cooking session, I'll keep you in mind.

if you're using a word, there's always a reason for it. If you're deviating from the most commonly used word or phrase, there should be a reason for it. There's a reason people don't refer to their commutes as "lugubrious" or their nights our with friends as "crepuscular", and it's because there's no need to; these words in these situations detract from what you're trying to communicate, and end up communicating more about the speaker than their speech. In fact, that's often the point of trotting out these kinds of polysyllabic obstacles, is to signal how intelligent, well-read, or cultured you are.

If you're trying to tell me the most efficient way of describing getting high on Sup Forums is "engaging in entheogenic activities" then I'm gonna have to call bullshit, just like the idea that you're a different person that Mr. Entheogen in the first place merely praising how "well-read" he seems.

>If you don't suck HC's dick you must be some kind of right-wing conspiracist
If you actually believed she had any redeeming qualities you're too far gone.

Be excellent. Learn what you like to do and do it. Don't be a dick though.

Also death isn't scary it's just like going to sleep. If you're lucky it won't even hurt.

If that's your immediate conclusion to my post, you're too far gone.

Plant trees even when you won't enjoy their shade.

Then work on your arguments if you're trying to say something different
>Criticize general corruption and both presidential candidates
>wow le crazy Sup Forums fake news amirite

>one of the most powerful politicians of the last 25 years somehow has literally no redeeming qualities

w e w

even trump can be funny and has a kind of media savvy, despite being one of the least redeemable public figures in recent memory.

it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand camus and just try to sound important amongst your peers. how about starting with assisting your own suicide?

sanders was p cool

I hate sleep though

>these words in these situations detract from what you're trying to communicate, and end up communicating more about the speaker than their speech

honestly i think you're full of shit yourself and your whining is definitely simply because of drugs you know nothing about making you feel uncomfortable and insecure and not whatever more extreme and ridiculous examples you're on about here

like seriously dude, re-evaluate your critical thinking skills. drawing motivational parallels with saying shit like "lugubrious" and "crepuscular?" are you fucking serious?
