Who is the philosopher you admire?

For me, it's gotta be Diogenes. Imagine actually not giving a single shit about any societal norms, wealth, beauty and being happy as fuck with nothing and not caring about anything. That's happiness right there.

I wouldn't say bars or getting drunk but yea to a certain extent thats what it boils down to go ahead and join and you'll see

Diogenes was bretty gud.
Nietzsche is my personal fave when it comes to building a basis for one's own values.

But desu ethics should've began at Thrasymachus of Chalcedon and ended with Ragnar Redbeard.

>Ragnar Redbeard.
cringe

yeah but Nietzsche was an insufferable fag. Hume sounds like a fun nigga

>Nietzsche was an insufferable fag
Fuck you, motherfucker.

Prove one thing he wrote wrong.
PROVE, no "but dis is morally wrong boo hoo" bullshit, faggot.
He literally described how the real world works.

Wittgenstein quoted Kierkegaard and called him a saint and the most profound author of the 1800s.

I'm joking, I really like Kierkegaard.

based, Wittgenstein is on my reading list, but I haven't read many of his writings yet.

Who in the hell is this nigger?

Jesus
>study Torah
>use its own laws to abolish the laws and free mankind into Godhood

Claiming God is your favorite philosopher is kind of cheating.

False: Idolatry is a cardinal sin, and claiming that anything BUT God is your favorite is cheating on God.

Okay dude, you can get all preachy if you want... obviously God is prime in all positions, but that makes discussion difficult.
>Who is the smartest person ever?
God
>Okay other than God?

It is pretty obvious, so in answering the question, it is common to assume that God is not the answer that the asker is looking for.

Only the asker knows not Jesus

I don't even know what you're trying to say. Admiring humans isn't a sin, only admiring them above God.

Jesus is God and human

Correct, I don't see what that has to do with anything.

Arthur Schopenhauer
>Schopenhauer wrote that "Women are directly fitted for acting as the nurses and teachers of our early childhood by the fact that they are themselves childish, frivolous and short-sighted." He opined that women are deficient in artistic faculties and sense of justice, and expressed opposition to monogamy. He claimed that "woman is by nature meant to obey".
Einstein was redpilled too.
>Einstein described Schopenhauer's thoughts as a "continual consolation" and called him a genius. In his Berlin study three figures hung on the wall: Faraday, Maxwell, Schopenhauer. Konrad Wachsmann recalled: "He often sat with one of the well-worn Schopenhauer volumes, and as he sat there, he seemed so pleased, as if he were engaged with a serene and cheerful work."

Diogenes is based redpilled

I said, You are Elohim; you are all offspring of the Unknowable.
Psalms 82:6

Most philosophers are degenerates

"Elohim" can also be translated as "judges." From other verses in the Bible, we can clearly see that this is the only reasonable translation of this word.
1 Cor. 8:6--But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

It is also a root of the justification of the modern Christian concept of the Trinity, since Jesus used it as an apologia of his claim to be the Son of God.

He was MGTOW, but fucked prostitutes.
>The laws of marriage prevailing in Europe consider the woman as the equivalent of the man - start, that is to say, from a wrong position. In our part of the world where monogamy is the rule, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties. When the laws gave women equal rights with man, they ought to have also endowed her with a masculine intellect.

I have no problem with his comments on egalitarianism, but consorting with harlots is degenerate. I will not attempt to learn from someone who has such a rotten soul.

Just thinking about Diogenes makes me feel calmer and more serene about myself. This guy lived with no regards for fame and wealth and didn't beat his consciousness over it and worried like a bitch, but instead realized that all of that was meaningless, vain and superfluous. If I thought the same thing more I'd be happier. Appearances are such vain things.

Nietzsche can suck my dick.
I mainly admire Kierkegaard and Hegel, despite them being polar opposites.
I also like Schopenhauer and his idea of the Will, but disagree with him on how to approach that problem.

But other than that, I prefer creating my own philosophical system partially inspired by them or borrowing some of their ideas, mainly, the Schopenhauer's Will and Kierkegaard's conflict between the Finite and the Infinite.

What an achievement! I'd love to be that person.

This is the only advice I ever give my self-loving and self-aware kids and I will never go back on my word now because the amount of shit they are going through has made me realize I am not going to listen to all the advice that they receive on a daily basis. I do, however, make it a point to keep my own advice to a minimum and to never be satisfied with what other people have to say. It allows me to feel like I are just following them, which is good.

It also means that the most important aspect of my advice to them is to never give up on yourself I love hearing from my

I like Ralph Waldo Emerson although Transcendentalism might be a bit too naive

I only like philosophers that try to improve human life.
