Why should I care about philosophy when all axioms are chosen

take the redpill, stupid cuck

The very definition of Plato's philosophy is that it is objective. There are few who disagree with his precepts.

I think you're so good at seeing that triviality that you can't see it in your own posts.

Although I agree with your 3'rd point. 4chan just shits on stuff for the sake of being "shocking" and "counter-culture". What a bunch of fucking losers.

I disagree with them, in the sense that I think it's fucking idiotic to say that my dick and balls' true form is an equilateral triangle that my eyes are too human to ascertain.

The like for trees, birds, bodies of water, etc.

You could probably find quite a few other people who disagree with Plato's precepts.

>why should I care about philosophy when all axioms are chosen arbitrarily

I don't think "arbitrarily" is accurate here. Axioms are *unjustified* in the rigorous logical sense, but that doesn't mean they are arbitrary.

>why should I care about someone's unfalsifiable system?

Some philosophers probably went into a little too much detail and tried to answer too many questions at once with their systems, BUT, it's possible that you're looking at these works the wrong way. You don't have to take up a given philosopher's whole system to benefit from reading and understanding their work

I also don't think "unfalsifiable" is a fair objection to a lot of philosophy. A lot of philosophy concerns falsifiability itself. Philosophy is often not about making claims and more about exploring the nature of claims, truths, verification, and other topics that would seem relevant to somebody who cares a lot about theories being falsifiable

I agree about personal taste, I dislike the way /lit/ treats the matter

You could be a very successful philosopher and make some good money doing guest lectures and writing in philosophical journals if you can figure out how to explain to other people exactly what makes Aristotle, Plato, and Nietzsche, etc so trivial in your opinion
