Why did Nietzche really turn on based Schopenhauer in the end?
Was Schop too real for every High School freshman's favorite philosopher to handle?
> yfw you realize Schopenhauer would have btfo of Neet like he did Hegel if they had been contemporaries
Everyone eventually grows out of ol' Schope, it usually happens around the age of 18.

Listen, friend. I like the man a'ight! I've read the essays, all that nonsense about noise and women! I liked it alright, and I've read the world as will! I liked it a'ight! But I'm just saying it's not for me anymore its not for me, anymore yeah, slicka? ! Aigh!

WHEN WILL THIS MEME DIE?
>>1973822
When the idea that "communism is good" dies too.

He was though, that's why he is so angry at his own fellow jews.
Plus he was literally a NEET that lived off of his wife's money.

Communism is good, it's just never been tried. The Soviet union was state capitalist. Cuba allows limited private enterprise and Albania was just some other meme.
What the fuck was his problem?

How based was he?
Based? The man's claims were entirely baseless! I'll give him a 0! As in, you're a Zero!
My dear OP, I hesitate to rate Jung like that. I can honestly say that he is one of the most fascinating people I have read, along with Nietzsche. I first got introduced to Jung through Joseph Campbell when I first got heavy into mythology in my 20s. Jung seemed to open a door for me, and while a few of his ideas were in error or have since been improved upon, he has been a large influence in my life and I still consult Jungian analysis to this day, especially in regards to interpreting the psychological meaning of dreams.

How were these puppers used in battles?
Where they to spoop the enemy? used to start enemies on fire? or used to deplete all the oxygen out of holes in which the enemy was hiding?

They were used to light Japanese cigarettes

To burn out bunkers and tunnels. Also, it's scary as shit. I remember reading about how in WWI, when a soldier is captured, they are (usually) taken alive as POWs. But when one side captured a flamethrower unit, they were immediately executed, no questions asked.
I think I've identified my problem at the root of all my problems; I have an existential crisis. I can't motivate myself to do things because my philosophical outlook is basically nihilist:
I don't believe in God and I don't really believe in objective morality. I'm not even really sure there is such as thing as objective truth outside the realm of the mathematical sciences.
As a result, I can't see the ultimate point in working passionately at anything because I just don't believe in it. I don't work hard like I used to because I can't see the greater goal/big picture of anything; we'll all die and be forgotten in the end and in a billion years no one will know or care.
Women hate me because they can see I don't stand for anything and can sense my selfishness and patheticness.
What I need is a belief system or at least something to believe. Something that will give me pride and make me work hard and believe in myself.
I don't know whether I should be right wing or left wing; not because I lack an understanding of the issues or ideologies but because I don't have any objective moral basis for judging the merits of political ideas.
So /r9k/? What should I believe in? Does objective morality exist? What should I stand for?

Dis /his/ nigga. I'm here to argue against some punk ass post modernist on why Heidegger is God. Not tell you to read Spinoza and grow a fucking pair.
delete this thread, remove everything that nobody cares about, and as for your questions that could be considered /his/ related without all the blogshit:
>What should I believe in?
"should", this word requires a context. you can't derive an "ought" from an "is".
>Does objective morality exist?
are subterranean worm people plotting to overthrow humanity? there's equal evidence for both.
I was there a year ago anon. Take a moment to decide truly whether you believe materialism is true. Research the unexplainable and realize that there is something beyond this miserable world. If you come to Christ, all the better. But if not, at least throw this trash nihilism out the window for nothing more than the evidence.

Daily reminder that if the Treaty of Sèvres had been upheld, Thrace should be Greek. They could have even gone futher and given Greece Constantinople (at least the Thracian side) as well as all of the coast from Dardanellia all the way down to Smyrna. This way, Constantinople would be great again.
Also, I find interesting that for such a big empire, Ottomans have built very small amount of truly remarkable buildings, and 90% of them are in Istanbul.

how so? the greek army had been btfo out of anatolia after the battle of izmir and even if the greeks were in charge of constantinople it would be just a matter of time it would fall to the turks because greek incompetence. this is the army that got btfo by a militia of a dying empire which just got partitioned
also reminder that venizelos supported the greco-turkish population exhange and reccomended attaturk for the nobel peace prize. im sure the kind of retard who post this muh coonstantinople ;_; arent even greek
In religions/mythologies where the afterlife is somewhere on earth, like the Elysian Fields for example, how do the dead people get there? I can understand the idea of a soul ascending to heaving, but if the afterlife is "material", how can the dead guy be there but also in a grave?
Damn /his/ I thought you guys were well read n shit.
last bump
It sounds like you've got your cosmology mixed up. IIRC in most mythology the dead must descended to Hades to be judged before passing on to Elysium, where they are shades. Better to follow the plow as thrall to another man, one with no land allotted him and not much to live on, than to be a king over all the perished dead.
So, I was hearing some frog radio program and someone said that american english is what it is because all those people coming from such different places needed a simple language to communicate despite their vastly different cultural backgrounds, ie different conceptions and behaviors.
So, that in such a mess some order was needed and we got this 'english' as a result. Some kind of natural esperanto, so to speak. Something not as ugly as a preconceived language, but not quite as a natural human language either.
And we all know how language reflects/inlfuences the culture and thought of those holding it.
Thoughts?
english has the widest vocabulary of any language. English is what it is because of german (and latin/Greek), german because of Latin and other regional languages, and so on.

Sounds stupid. American English has individual dialects much like British English and often those dialects are engrained in a population. A person who lives in Georgia no matter what race is going to speak with a Southern Drawl that isny found in someone from say Brooklyn in New York.
The reason English is such a fucking mess is because the Anglo-Saxons or, as we know of them today: Brits, were exposed to a lot of different people whom they both ruled over and had been ruled over by.
>>1973672
>t. Linguist
>forgets to mention the huge influence of French in English language

Sure
English has nothing to do with German
Its Germanic roots are much closer from Dutch and Norwegian than German
I know this is blogshit but i don't care, i have nowhere else to go and r9k is a cesspit.
After many years of self-reflection and trying to painlessly blend into the world, i think i've reached a point of no return. I can feel my sanity slowly abandoning me. This world has killed everything that was once good and innocent inside me. It has made feel nothing but fear, hate, mistrust, paranoia. I know it's hard to imagine but i completely abandoned all feelings that could bring me happiness. I cannot remember when was the last time i laughed or smiled because something or someone made me legit happy. No one around me is worthy of my love, i have closed myself into a shell no one can break into. I cursed and abandoned my own family, the ones who brought into this sad world. I keep pushing back from me anyone who tries to get closer, i'm mad and angry at people all the time, i always yell at them and curse them. I feel like there's nothing left of me. I am seriously considering suicide at this moment. I mean, i'll die one day anyway, so what's the point of prolonging this journey? For some pathetic glimmer of hope that might not even realize itself? I don't think so.
Now where does the problem lie? Is it me or is it the world? I believe it's a little of both. There is obviously something wrong with my surroundings, otherwise i'd never feel the things i feel now. Maybe i was too idealistic, maybe i genuinely had optimism and energy. But this energy shattered, and i don't know how to regain it anymore.
How do you survive? What makes you keep going? What makes you still feel happiness, what makes you smile? Why do you still do it?
I haven't been happy in a very long time, but it's fine. I might suffer from some chemical imbalance or something, but I've long since given up on happiness being a goal to work towards. Instead, I have my own ideas about how a life is well spent and I work to the end of achieving that. Life has no purpose except the one you give to it; if you're unhappy with your life, it's either because you are not working toward what you believe to be a successful and fulfilling life, or maybe because you haven't figured out what you think it means to have a fulfilling life. Figure out what you really want out of life and start moving towards it. Goals are important because they give us something to work towards and benchmarks by which we can measure our progress.
sunshine and exercise. Lift heavy- low reps. Get your cardio up. Drop sugar. Switch to plant based non processed food diet. Get your protein from whey.
Try that for a couple months. If it doesn't work, head to the doctor and grab something for depression.
You aren't healthy. Your problems aren't philosophical, it's just your brain trying to rationalize why it feels shitty all the time. Acknowledge your disease, and be responsible enough to seek treatment.
>>1973665
so all of these negative emotions you're feeling seem to be focused around the idea that you need to interact with people to be happy. are you sure this is true?
>where does the problem lie?
there's no such thing as an objective "problem". it's a label abstractly applied to things that displease you. you can label things however you wish. if you want to be the problem, go ahead, maybe you'll get "fixed" with that mindset. you can blame society too if you want, fuck it, idle away on a balcony booing at them.
If you went to the year 1900 and gave the top scientists blueprints for a 1930s airplane would they be able to build it?
>>1973634
It would take them a very long time to figure out how everything is supposed to work, but yes they could build it.
>>1973634
Manufacturing the engine and such would be tricky and take a while, but it would probably be possible given about a year or two considering their limitations
>>1973634
No. The industrial capacity - meaning things like metallurgy - simply was not there. Progress depends on all the steps before it happening.

I just feel really bad for him, and I wish he hadn't been killed. He didn't deserve it.
>>1973460
>He didn't deserve it
Yes, he did. It took him 20 years to ruin on of the biggest empires on earth. He destroyed absolutely everything his father and grandfather created. We still haven't recovered. He should've killed himself.
>>1973460
We all like Nikki as a person. But his execution was well-deserved. I cant continue to list the shit he did wrong everyday, shit should be stickied somewhere on this board. Louis 16 was executed as well, and he made far less mistakes. Granted he wasnt as handsome, but he probably wasnt a bad dude either. With great power comes great responsibility. The abuse of the people does not go without retribution.
