not another eastern cock sucker

nah seriously senpai. I've read the Britannica collections of plato, socrates, herodotus, aristotle and they are all total snooze fests

read the Tao te Ching and I am always comfy.
why is this?

>>924922
Probably because Socrates and Plato represent a decline.

Their title as "greatest Greek philosophers" was upheld because of their influence on Christian theology. The idea that Greek philosophy began with Socrates is just ridiculous.

that's kind of my point. there is nothing new under the sun and those guys are really only getting credit because they are some of the oldest surviving record from the West.
but Lao, Wu, Confucius, Buddha all kept that shit simple and didn't act like pretentious fags imo

I am agreeing that they are the same idea bro, do you not understand that? I am saying that the east was more humble about it and thus my "preference"
