Western philosophy

It could have helped avoid a lot of modern bs like gender is a social construct and materialistic scientism. But it destroyed itself by failing to understand Wittgenstein and instead pursuing materialism and social criticism. The 80s was the time, now it is over.

Ego running rampant and vain materialism

Continental a shit, analytical stuff is pretty good though

"""philosophy""" in general is a bunch of atheists trying to figure out how the world is supposed to work without God, of course they all end up with "everything is meaningless", because without God, it really is.

Greece, Rome, early Christianity, mysticism, natural philosophy.

You literally only looked at the last century or so of fauxlosiphy and came to the conclusion that the last three thousand or so years of western non-material development are meaningless. You are the product of the post-modern philosophy you claim to be against.

Educate yourself.

It's infected, but postmodernism, nihilism, materialism, these are all products of their environment. We fear that the thoughts are new, and steering society, but it was the society, as it existed at the time, that gave birth to evil thinking. As our circumstances change, our culture and thinking will change with it. A century of tyranny and lies is a lightning flash in the storm of time.

Post-modernism IS hyper capitalism... they're the same thing. Making a sale off a sale off a sale... and having to get past the advertising about the store you're already buying from in order to fill out the survey to prove you've seen the advertisements to make a sale off a sale off a sale....

That's post-modernism... it's hyper-capitalism... it's casino capitalism... it's all of the above.

What does that have to do with anything I said? your linking to me is meaningless.

I think philosophy is like psychology or theology, a fake field of study for dum-dums who can't make it in a real field like physics or engineering but still have money to burn on "studying" something.
