the last of a long chain of amusing charlatans. With any luck he will not create a lasting impact on the collective consciousness.

I generally think he knows what he's talking about. Says questionable things for various reasons. I think he knows his Hegel, Lacan, Marx, Freud, Foucault, Deleuze, and Derrida better than probably anyone reading here. Where he stands and creates his own position between them in debatable. His chapters in this book are pretty good, especially "Da Capo senza Fine" (I also quite like Butler's response as well). A lot of shit gets talked about him but he's a worthy philosopher.

You didn't try shit

what did you read?

Nietzsche is pretty far from Buddhism

DMT and Soul of Prophecy has a section about the author's change from Mahayana Buddhism to Judaism. He more or less says that his monastery advocated for the worship of idols, past bodhisattvas, says he wanted to study the source, pray to the source instead.

Now turning your back on two decades of philosophical thought and practice doesn't just come out of the blue. He was also disappointed by his findings during his dmt experiments back in the early 90's. Said he expected to find something akin to nirvana but found that the Jewish bible and their prophets mirrored the dmt state more than the Buddhist cosmology did.

But I'd personally suggest you walk the middle path. Read Ego and Archetype by Edinger, read The Hero with a Thousand Faces, The Grail Legend by Jung and Von Franz, read Erich Fromm and David Tacey. These people have mapped an intersection of psyche and mythology.

But if you do not put in the time you will become a jack of all trades and the master of none because each book is a portal to thousands of authors.

Its a noble quest though and you'll see the connections between the east and the west. You'll see this search for god as a search of ego and Self. The gods of old will show themselves to be the same innate, higher personality within man's mind.

Will you resort to plagiarism, OP.

no i'll get failed

that's a stupid assignment since christianity and communism are the same thing (communism with a different metaphysics of course) while Islam and Judaism had more role in undermining it, but what really happened was communism became its opposite in display of dialectics, baby!

That's bullshit but I choose to believe it.

So far I can read in spanish and english. I can get by in french but am working on it.

after this I'm learning russian

why do so many /mu/ pseuds board hop to /lit/?

Philosophy is more than just "thinkin bout life", it's about logic and systems of thought and you have to interact with texts in a far different way than you're used to. Though I imagine you're taking a piss easy intro course anyway in which either they'll guide you into the way you should be reading philosophy, or they'll just spoonfeed you reductive highlights from it. Just do what you should be doing anyway, if you're having trouble talk to the professor.

It won't be a problem as long as you become an avid reader and have the capability and passion to be one. Research some philosophers and read them. Also don't be intimidated by the kids at school who come in with prior knowledge, befriend them if they're legit, but usually they'll be some pretentious fag. You won't know the difference at first but it will become very clear soon after.

You're too dumb and will probably just write about patriarchy anyway.

That's wrong, however. As emotions can be traced all the way to the animals, neither the most basic emotion will be fear, nor the most basic fear would be of the unknown.
