What philosophical position do you hold?

death to nerds

Also which philosophers are your biggest inspiration for that view?

transcendental idealism + anxiety over unconditioned being + belief in god as a ridiculous, unreachable but nominally guiding concept

>>9365168
You haven't watched the webm, I see

>>9365140
That everyone else is wrong but me, even if I can't prove it though there is always proof, and if they're right it's only because they agree with me.

I believe in God if someone was to ask me, but I'm not necessarily sure my actions reflect such a stance. Unfortunately, I think most modern Christians also fit this bill; to truly believe in talking donkeys or pillars of fire would result in absurd actions that follow suite. The Apostle Paul, he believed; St. John, he believed; but me and the rest of Americans, probably not.

I suppose Nietzsche is the one I think about and agree with most frequently. I'm not a teen, though. His philosophy motivates me to do shit.

>>9365665
So the edgy kind.

Enlightenment is a waste of time. The purpose is to live, and improve quality of life. Produce, reproduce, so on.

Any philosophy that does not advocate this is a cancerous game of verbal masturbation that needs to be thrown in the trash.

So about 99% of it all.

Christianity, nihilism, anti-nihilism.
I hate nihilism, and it can be seen as nothing but an infantile mind playing with reductionism and claiming to have enough knowledge to slay all meaning, especially the meta-level is outright denied, since we know all our knowledge from the binary world. Except we don't get any knowledge from it, it merely seems to change the connections.
However, the damage seems to stay despite acknowledging the foolish nature of it all.

I used to have sympathies with materialism / socialism

But I've recently been reading some conservative thinkers and finding myself convinced to an extent.

That is, even though the materialist/ atheist conception of history is objectively correct, it is not as useful as a tarditionalist/ theistic one in organising society.

>>9366654
In other words
>NEET comes across Los Zetas Cocaine Bunker
>is already on his way to becoming a keyboard Nazi

>>9366661
No, I'm afraid I don't know what any of that means. Nazism is not conservative. I've been reading P. Hitchens and Scruton.

>>9366667
I give you 3 months before you start ranting about the Jooz on unrelated boards. What is your general mental health?

>>9366670
I think you misunderstand what Conservatism is.

>>9366654
so exploitation is a better organising principle than mutual aid? that doesn't sound very convincing.

>>9366672
I don't, but here Conservatism is a gateway for becoming a frothing schizo basement Nazi.

>>9366672
Just ignore the marxist, he has mental problems

end nerdshaming

>>9366673
I'm more convinced by the social and morally conservative principles of these writers. I still do not believe in class and I don't believe I ever will.

>>9366676
Not at all. Conservatism by its very nature conserves. Nazism etc. are all radical ideologies and have far more in common with other radical ideologies.

>>9366681
lol. someone was born into the middle class.

>>9365140
some day i will pass this well

>>9366686
Nope. My parents are both working class and I went to a comprehensive school.

>>9366681
Now answer the mental health question. Do you have a healthy social life? Are you in a relationship? Are you on pills?

>>9366690
I thought you didn't believe in class.

>>9366637
Hedonism

>>9366696
It's not really hedonism tho.

>>9366693
I mean I don't believe that a class divide should exist. I still believe in Left-wing economic principles but I'm slightly socially conservative. Whether or not the two positions are compatible I'll have to see. I'm in the process of working it out.
>>9366692
>Do you have a healthy social life?
Yes, I have a strong, quite large group of friends I've known since childhood.
>Are you in a relationship?
Not at the moment, no
>Are you on pills?
No, I've never taken any psychoactive medication. My mental health is good. I don't smoke and I drink alcohol about once every two weeks socially


Why all the hostility and ad hominem attacks?

>>9366707
Not ad hominems lad, just figuring out if you're gonna start screaming about immigration soon. Probably not. Have a good life and leave this shit board.

>>9365254
Buber-readers get in here!

>>9366707
because some of us are in target groups of conservative scorn and so have developed a healthy scorn and reflexive defence against their hypocrisy and hatred.

>>9366712
>if you're gonna start screaming about immigration soon

And if I did you would suddenly become a qualified psychoanalysis and pronounce me mad?

I think you are in the business of pathologising your opponents' beliefs.

>>9366715

>>9366716

>>9366719

>>9366727
lol. okay desu.

>>9366717
Yeah well, there's definitely a pathology for a large chunk of them. You seem to be in control, for now at the very least. Mind going a bit more in detail about your position, socio-economically speaking?

>>9366735
Is attacking people at random the way you say "Hello" in your country?

>>9365140
post-nihilism with a healthy dose of some taoist teachings

>>9366739
>Mind going a bit more in detail about your position, socio-economically speaking?

No. You are not the authority on who can hold what beliefs depending on their disposition. Make the actual effort to dispute your opponents rather than pathologising them. Otherwise you are the one with a weak mind.

If I were to take your tact, I'd assume you are a bourgeois liberal, privately educated, who dismisses ideas they disagree with as pathological, ignorant or - worst of all - working class

Whatever happened to that poll with /lit/'s philosophical views?

when I'm philosophying sometimes I think about stuff for a while and realize how deep something is and I wonder if others have realized it, and I wonder if they're as deep thinking as me.

>>9365140
The one where you discuss books.

>>9365140
Metaphysical:
Idealist leanings, mathematical platonist tendencies, neither A-theory nor B-theory of time is correct, substance dualist, mereological nominalist, ontological maximalist w/r/t the physical world, the question of free will is internally incoherent, causality is unjustified.
Epistemological:
Justified true belief is an insufficient standard for knowledge, problem of induction can be overcome but we lack the intellectual tools to do so right now, all other beliefs are basic as fuck.
Ethical:
Constructivism + virtue ethics, reject eudaimonia; reject consequentialism and deontology; death, suffering, and ugliness are to be avoided but are not intrinsically evil, likewise life, pleasure, and beauty are not intrinsically good.
Aesthetic:
My views on art and beauty are in major flux right now.
Political:
Highly modified classical liberalism with elements of libertarian socialism (integrate republican democracy into workforce, eliminate borders altogether), American libertarianism (free trade, free markets, private property, muh freedumb no steppy pwease), and paleoconservatism (traditions are good, limit government spending across the board, conservationism).
Theological:
Monotheist, Christian, dyophysite, God in Ousia, protestant, freedom from necessity but not from sin, conditional election, justification for all through choice, salvation through both faith and works, synergism, preservation is conditional, basically a Methodist. Still not sold on afterlife but consider it irrelevant to faith, salvation, and practice.
On life:
No response to the existentialist problem, not from Pascal, Dosto, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Sartre, Camus, Beauvoir, etc has ever prevailed; the problem still looms. Ligotti is S A D B O Y E shit but his pessimism is justified.
Other that I can think of:
Non-chomskian grammar; Kripke is usually right, except for S5
