ITT: Philosophers that remind you of yourself
For me it's Diogenes - intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor.
>>9773433
All of them in one way or another. Otherwise I wouldn't read their stupid shit.
>>9773433
Me. I'm philosopher.
This guy.

Found the newfag
I'm worried I'm becoming more and more like Diogenes each day.
I was taking an overnight trip the other day, and after pulling in for breakfast early in the morning I was confronted with how low I'd sunken as an animal. The waitress took my order, four scrambled eggs, a plate of hash browns, two pancakes, bacon, juice, and coffee. At the time I hadn't eaten at a restaurant in nearly a year, not due to any social anxiety or stressors, but because I prefer to prepare my own meals at home for convenience and health. Maybe it was this that led me to eat with my hands, scooping great fistfuls of eggs into my mouth, head ducking toward the plate like a grotesque saurian, or to pour the juice and coffee into the same glass and chug the mixture with such rapidity that it ran down my cheeks and neck. I didn't even realize what I'd been doing until the family next to me got up to leave, plates in hand, to relocate themselves to some far-off corner of the diner. Even then I felt no shame, was not struck by the magnitude of my crime, until well after I'd already left, ruin in my wake.

Kant - but only in terms of autistically rigid daily routines that appear baffling to the outsider
>>9773433
I think it's Vico - someone interesting but who got his ideas stolen from Kant and therefore nobody cares about
Schopenhauer, because I'm a miserable bastard.
>>9773433
>produced nothing
>only remembered for being a contrarian fucker
Sounds about right
>>9773433
Kierkegaard desu
>>9773433
this but unironically
Sartre because I'm insecure , envious and manipulative
>>9773433
Jesus Christ - nice, caring, and a socialist.
Spinoza because I'm highly logical, calm, and can't get an erection.
>>9776214
Pretty good bait desu
>>9773433
Nietzsche.
As a broken man, I seek rebirth. The way of the übermensch is the answer.
>>9774642
Use a word like vigor instead of rapidity
>>9776249
yeah, whenever i get depressed, i just read some nietzsche and realize there's no one to blame, i'm responsible for my life only
>>9773433
>your self is a reminiscent actualization through projection

Socrates. People say I'm a good teacher but all I really like to do is have discourse on the nature of things. I rarely care that I'm right if the truth comes out in the end.

For me it's pissdad

>>9774642
>Even then I felt no shame, was not struck by the magnitude of my crime, until well after I'd already left, ruin in my wake.
I lost it
>>9773433
Schopenhauer because I hate all kind of noise

>tfw no mute, sterile gf
>>9774642
This had better be copy pasta
>Social anxiety
>Stressors
Diogenes lived on the fucking street and broke break with anyone and everyone, at all times. If you believe it, he masturbated in public.
He doesn't sound at all socially anxious to me.
As for the rest of your post? What the fuck? Is this a big event for you? Getting something to eat is a big enough event in your empty life to write such a post?
Fuck me, this board is full of fucking try hard instagram poets I swear
>>9776805
Dumbest newfag ever or bait? I honestly can't tell, its really quite well done
>>9776709
Fucking fantastic stuff. I laughed at a few of those
>>9774520
>he took the bait
I just want to live a laid back withdrawn ascetic NEET life but I can't help getting mad as fuck.
>>9776805
> not due to any social anxiety or stressors
>not due
>not
learn to read cuntboy
>>9776890
Still the same either way. You're a faggot pseud who reckons he's special because he's above 105 IQ but below 125.
Nothing new. Away you go now, back to writing Tumblr posts that all start with I
Kant because I am dull and unadventurous
>>9773433
Where is diogenes a nihilist? Hes the total opposite of a nihilist saying YES to LIVE and everything that comes with it
>>9776964
It's a meme you dullard. Lurk more
>>9776914
confirmed never read kant at length
>>9776905
not even the lad you were responding to
>>9773433
>brags on 4chan
>internet addict
>probably miserable
You're not like any philosopher, you're a scum pathetic anon, that will never produce anything worth reading like everyone else here. Stop pretending otherwise and kill yourself.
>>9776988
Who shat in your cereal this morning anon? Want to talk about it?
>>9776709
literally me
>>9774642
This is why I always wear latex gloves when I go out to eat.
>>9774645
Post examples of such routines, I'm curious.
>>9776988
its a meeem
m ee e eeeeeeeeeeeeeee m
>>9776970
Talking about his actual life here, not his works
>>9777009
Look, cunt. I'm just fucking pissed off that these ENLIGHTENED /LIT/TARDS are actually some of the most delusional people on 4chan, they're so full of themselves because of undergraduate syndrome and/or dunning kruger effect. The truth is that we're mostly 20 something year olds who haven't read nearly enough to compete with any major intellectual, but these cunts are so arrogant that they make threads insulting and mocking public intellectuals (like Peterson, Chomsky, Sam Harris,...), these guys are 10000000000 times superior to anyone here even if I disagree with any of them, just know your place anons. You're irrelevant and not smart enough to write anything that anyone will ever want to read. You're on fucking 4chan, the toilet of the internet, why are you pretending to be a classy scholar? Fuck
>>9773433
>nihilistic
>>9774642
>four scrambled eggs, a plate of hash browns, two pancakes, bacon, juice, and coffee
ffat
> well-off upbringing, retarded, faggot
pretty much me
Diogenes is a meme, there isn't anyone in the world, except maybe that hermit who lived 30 years in isolation, like him.
When you throw away your only possession, a bowl, because you figured out you can drink with your hands, out, then come back and claim to be like him.
>>9774645
As the other guy asked, I've never seen this routine. Please share.
>>9777102
kek
>>9777043
Yea, we're just joking and having a good time. However if you want to be congratulated for realizing that lit doesn't have any professional philosophers who are regular browsers then I'll take this moment to clap for you. Good job.
>>9777151
>Guise everyone on /lit/ is just like me and I'm just joking so everyone else is just joking too!
dumb cunt
>>9777160
if you seriously believe that anyone in this thread would upon actual examination continue to believe they are similar to a philosopher who has been dead for >100 years then I feel bad for your weak psychological insights.
>>9777165
>I have just as much proof as you that everyone here is joking but hey you're the retard
Kill yourself, fucktard

>>9777043
Google a text string from the OP post. You will find that it's an incredibly common meme. Often used on /tv/ for example to talk about movie/TV characters.
The entire joke, as should be self-evident to anyone who actually belongs on 4chan, is that it's tongue-in-cheek satire of someone (say, on Reddit) doing the thing you are criticizing: taking themselves too seriously and not realizing that it's cringe-inducing to say "heh, Nietzsche totally reminds me of me ;)".
That's the entire joke. Not only that, EVERYONE in the thread immediately and instinctively and intuitively got that it was a joke, except you. Even people who haven't seen it before still instantaneously went "hehe i get it" on a level so reflexive they didn't even need to verbalize it or think about it.
Only you are so out of place here that you needed to take a joke at face value and have a meltdown about it, which ironically took the form of shallow normie reddit tier holier-than-thou "I hate 4chan!! This place is an anus!! I don't even go here, I'm only here to laugh at people who DO go here!"
You stick out like a sore thumb and hopefully you will die very soon. Until that happens please stay away from my internet chatroom website you faggot.

Fuck off we're just having fun. No one here is serious but I suppose you're too stupid to see that. BTW congrats on baiting me
>>9777173
>You stick out like a sore thumb and hopefully you will die very soon.
Audibly lol'd at this line.
This thread is a perfect storm of angst and newposter. What a shit, shit thread.
>>9777043
>who haven't read nearly enough to compete with any major intellectual,
If you're not post-intellectual by your mid 20s you fucked up desu.

My routines? Nothing too exciting of course.
>3 cups of coffee
>same lunch everyday for years on end
>nap after lunch, then take a walk according one of two precise itineraries, the next day choose the alternate path
>coffee, then tea
>same supper every day for years on end
What reinforces this is that I smoke cigarettes like a fiend, largely contributing to turn every day into a single blur of non-differentiation.
