If you really are suicidal, play a sport you'll enjoy, see a psychologist, try and get yourself outdoors as much as possible. Try meditation/mindfulness. Philosophy really won't help much.

"Mindfulness in Plain English" is a good intro to meditation without all the religious stuff. It's simple and a quick read, although the author does make some questionable claims, the suggestions and instructions on how to meditate are very good.

Nietzsche doesn't want you to overcome misanthropy. You're reading the wrong books.

I don't see how else an amor fati is possible. It is a human fate, a human struggle to be embraced, the the transformation of the eternal recurrence from '“das schwerste gewicht' to a thing to be rejoiced and gladly lived again and again is very fundamentally a love of humanity. This in no way means an acceptance of its baser elements, in fact these are among those struggles to be welcomed (loved).

Come on man, if you look at the twitters of students at any college/uni you will feel the same how you think that will affect the caliber of your education and in-class discussion is retarded.

I'm not how sure how you got into any university think the twitters of some students represent the school and her student body as a whole.

There's serious and not serious students at every school, how could you think there's a university attended by only 'not serious students' ?

That being said private Catholic universities are great, I always be happy I went to one and I hope it suits you well.

Every university is what you make of it. If you get really lucky you'll have classes with students who care. But even Ivy League and other elite universities have shitloads of undergrads who don't give a fuck, or even worse, undergrads who think they give a fuck because they're precocious little brats but really they are stultifying mediocrities, not really intellectually passionate about anything.

Don't become a big fish in a small pond either.

I once embarassed myself by trying to argue to my English teacher that the word "No" was onomatopoeic. I was convinced of it. I kept saying "But listen:" then repeating "No" over and over again.

The Brain, within its Groove
Runs evenly--and true--
But let a Splinter swerve--
'Twere easier for You--

To put a Current back--
When Floods have slit the Hills--
And scooped a Turnpike for Themselves--
And trodden out the Mills--

Scholasticism is the pinnacle of philosophy

>he fell for the Romans meme

their contributions to history and politics were worthwhile, literature-wise almost no empire could be called more barren

More like the most primitive form of philosophy that borders straight up theology.

Stop shilling. Continental Portuguese is shit. Even lazy Brazilian apes bothered to work on something for once in their lives, solely to not sound like an industrial woodchipper.

I'm mildly interested in your position (if you have one).

Go on. What do you mean 'meme' philosophy?
