>Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom -Aristotle

Sounds gaytarded as shit. Name something you'd consider wise and then explain how you couldn't comprehend it without knowing yourself.

The knowing yourself expression seems vague. What is qualified as knowing yourself?

>>8968235
From my understanding, the quote means understanding how you interpret wisdom. Like having the blueprint before you build the house.

>>8968235
You're confusing knowledge for wisdom

You'll never know yourself. There is no self. Stop with this existential bull shit and just be.

>>8968256
I don't. I'm saying an understanding of the self is not a prerequisite for wisdom.

>just be yourself

woah

>>8968231
The quote doesn't sound eccentric and original, therefore I don't like it

>>8968316
It is furthermore gaytarded as shit.

>>8968264
self is ego.

1st step. know your ego.
2nd step. lose your ego.

that's my wisdom, my ego's wisdom.

Being a wise guy isn't the same as being wise.

>>8968351
Less vacuously insisting on me not knowing what wisdom is, more responding to this:

>Name something you'd consider wise and then explain how you couldn't comprehend it without knowing yourself.

That's not how this works

>>8968236
Knowing when you're being hypocritical. When you call other people crazy you have to remember the times when you are being just as crazy.
