You broke your own thread. I don't feel like writing one question because you already asked the most fundamental question that can be asked. It's the foundation of philosophy. The reason why we study it.
Why indeed? Why is there something rather than nothing?

>>8445578
Because women aren't nice.

>>8445578
Douchebags have confidence etc etc

All the good traits of a douchebag + being nice > douchebag

The most fundemental question in Philosphy is the question of being. What is the nature of being?

The Will to Truth, which is to tempt us to many a hazardous enterprise, the famous Truthfulness of which all philosophers have hitherto spoken with respect, what questions has this Will to Truth not laid before us! What strange, perplexing, questionable questions! It is already a long story; yet it seems as if it were hardly commenced. Is it any wonder if we at last grow distrustful, lose patience, and turn impatiently away? That this Sphinx teaches us at last to ask questions ourselves? WHO is it really that puts questions to us here? WHAT really is this "Will to Truth" in us? In fact we made a long halt at the question as to the origin of this Will--until at last we came to an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental question. We inquired about the VALUE of this Will. Granted that we want the truth: WHY NOT RATHER untruth? And uncertainty? Even ignorance? The problem of the value of truth presented itself before us--or was it we who presented ourselves before the problem? Which of us is the Oedipus here? Which the Sphinx? It would seem to be a rendezvous of questions and notes of interrogation. And could it be believed that it at last seems to us as if the problem had never been propounded before, as if we were the first to discern it, get a sight of it, and RISK RAISING it? For there is risk in raising it, perhaps there is no greater risk.

>>8445527

So sad to see so many caught up in insignificant trivialities.
If you think that anywhere in the fundamental questions there lies 'why are women mean to me?' you should give up this board and go somewhere else.
The perennial question of philosophy is the question being. Then, what is truth and what is value? And finally, how does one live the good life?
Everything else is just a midpoint to that end.

Women are the selector sex; they choose who's genes live and who's die; they are privileged in that violence against them is considered shameful, wheras violence against men is often considered admirable or funny; women are not expected to pull their own weight in any male dominated environment, and are usually when stripped of their attractiveness are often left bereft of charm; as their personalities are often geared towards social climbing and manipulation, and when you're old and ugly these don't work any more.

Conversely a man who has had to learn to be funny and charming to be treated well will retain these traits even as he ages.

Ugly women if given time to develop character can be almost as reliable as an honest man, Lesbians are a mixed bag.

The greatest questions pertain to truth.

What is truth?
Can we know truth?
Is truth worth it?

And the answer to those questions? Well, read some fucking philosophy and find out.

Can you prove that any thing really exists - that it exists independently of your mind - merely by thinking about its concept, analyzing its meaning within your own mind?

Am I born into my duty, or is my duty determined by my life? Is that duty in and of its self my purpose, or do I harness purpose from my duty?

I am 12 and what is this?

The Problem of Universals

All the Modernists and Postmodernists like to give Plato shit for the Theory of the Forms, but they've never really given a countervailing explanation for the existence of categories of items. At least, they haven't given one that's satisfying.

From impacts on our sensory surfaces, we in our collective and cumulative creativity down the generations have projected our systematic theory of the external world. Our system is proving successful in predicting subsequent sensory input. How have we done it?

How is understanding possible?

Read Truth and Method, Hans Georg Gadamer. If you have the Greeks, good amount of classic literature (Homer, Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare), Nietzsche, Hegel, and Kant under your comprehension you should understand this book.

>>8445527
"Why is there something rather than nothing?" is probably the most profound philosophical question one can ask. However, "why, fundamentally, do people ask such questions?" and "how is asking such questions even possible?", are, to me, deeper, albeit meta-philosophical, questions, questioning the natures of questioning and the questioner himself.
