is there any point to reading philosophy anymore? i did a philosophy undergrad degree so reading it then made sense because it gelled a lot with who i was, but now i just work and shit, and philosophy is not a huge part of my life because my friends aren't /lit/ in the slightest.
i kind of want to read Being and Time though.
It's fine to move on from things if you don't want to make your life philosophy.
Virtually everything has diminishing returns.

Reading Being and Time now. It's literally nothing. I could be learning about history or cooking or meeting people and I'm busy with "the being-with itself has its own being, which is the full expression of being of Dasein in its being-itself-ness" He doesn't even argue anything or try to demonstrate anything. It's literally meaningless. There's no value to be gleaned from these pages, there's no way this changes how anybody thinks or sees the world.
Frankly the fact that you've moved on from acaedmia into the corporate world shows that you don't give two shits about philosophy. You need it now more than ever.

Work doesn't necessitate soulless corporatism.

I am a corporate shill struggling to get through tedious philosophical works. I've leaned towards slightly more approachable theology to compromise.
I graduated with a degree in art history and I still read about it every day. I just feel a compulsion to read and learn (and write). I'm also unemployed though but I like to think that my habits won't really change when I get a job.

Just re-read and annotate your favorite ethical works
