actually even in true nihilism stuff matters, it's just devoid of its own inherent meaning but that's okay

the love hotel scene towards the end of the movie didn't have to be like 10-15 minutes long but im glad it was

i dunno i think the duration of the scene really helped to build the cringing awkwardness factor that they weren't going for at all

I asked my philosophy professor what the difference was between atheists and nihilists and after a pause he said that atheists still believe in the power of love or some gay poo poo so I guess I'm a nihilist.

i hope all of this is a joke cause otherwise you had one incredibly poo poo philosophy prof

lol wait wut nietzsche is pretty much the frodo of philosophy, fucker carried the ring of nihilism all the way to mount doom and it destroyed him

e: HAVE SOME RESPECT

dude hated nihilism, or at least being called a nihilist. He was all about the reevaluation of taken-for-granted values and prejudices, and found meaning and purpose in the human analog to drama and the participation in social interaction (even though he loving sucked at it).

yeah but you shouldn't since his work is not superficially systematic and is very personal, which disqualifies it as "philosophy," also he spits whenever he says "logic" and keeps eating the cake of "truth" even though he knows it goes straight to his rear end

Actual lol at the cake bit

Yeah his work is more like a kind of odd prose rather than philosophical treatise, but its philosophical implications are probably more powerful and actually useful and applicable to real life than anything his forerunner Kant ever did so


Some people think Nietzsche is real hard to read but then you show them Kant's metaphysics and the categories and they literally poo poo their own brain out

ugh i hate having to take the mask off

i was parodying cardio's POV, and i think nietzsche is more a philosopher than a cruise ship of logicians

that dude who invented solipsism in elementary school was more a philosopher than any logician

They do okay as epistemologists

Actually they are better as epistemologists than just regular epistemologists since the regular ones don't check that their logic is sound

unless logic gets your dick hard your oval office wet your rear end in a top hat loose or whatever it is, it has almost no philosophical relevance

AT LEAST I.M.O.

Whenever someone denigrates Kant, I just assume that person worships either Ayn Rand or some 20th century French charlatan already forgotten by History.


Nope. I actually like Kant but Nietzsche does everything he wanted to do better in a more attractive and pleasant to read style, and after all philosophy is an art and therefore ought to have aesthetically pleasing qualities one way or another.

E: also the best french philosopher already forgotten by history is Gide

Counterpoint: Nietzsche was super loving creepy-weird about dancing. I'm at least 65% sure he constantly jacked it to ballerinas or some poo poo.

I was in a philosophy class once,
All I remember from it was the sort of apathetic way the professor would say "hmm" and "good point" in regards to the occasional debate between the only 3 passionate students in the class.

Idunno if it's just me being modest, but I don't get why people argue over such subjective stuff like philosophy.

sounds like my entire degree yeah


also had one lecturer who would always respond to real lovely questions and comments by saying "mmmmmm that's an interesting question" in this fake-sincere way because he was way too polite to be like "ehh"


People argue over all philosophy because it helps develop the ideas. It's like a jam session.
