Who >philosopher here? >become too woke >can't

Really? I think basic study of philosophy has made me enjoy art and music and stuff way more than normies.

Same as faggot above, also you might be going in the wrong direction.

Or you're just in the deep end of the shallow part of the pool.

Git gud

Not OP, but how do I get there?

When you do philosophy enough, you eventually become woke enough that you realize the degree was a mistake

This is good advice. Start with some kratom and work your way up to harder shit like heroin, poppy seed tea, hydrocodone etc.

If you've never done opiates your life is boring. Literally better than anything ive ever experienced in my life including sex.

>smoke kraton and become a heroin addict
The worst advice ever posted

>>37865200
Do cocaine or amphetamines, the white man's drug. Uppers are much better than downers.

This is why I prefer eastern philosophies. Dudes discovered how to be happy and content in the most horrible conditions.

The existentialists only made their own lives more miserable while deceiving themselves to be more enlightened.

Where to start with them?

Start with the Greeks, anon

We look but don't see it and call it indistinct we listen but don't hear it and call it
faint we reach but don't grasp it and call it ethereal
three failed means to knowledge I weave into one
with no light above and no shade below too fine to be named returning to nothing
this is the formless form the immaterial image this is the waxing waning we meet
without seeing its face we follow without seeing its back
holding onto this very Way we rule this very realm and discover its ancient past
this is the thread of the Way

>>37865225
agreed completely.

LSD.

books are just intellectualizations of what you directly need to experience.

All of this tbqh, acid is the greatest thing of all time

LSD is for bitch ass niggas
Real men take shrooms.

>>37865408
lol, they're the same shit. anyone who claims there's a distinction is just too high on either to realize there isn't one.

I'm a college dropout NEET, but I do still find philosophy interesting and have a stash of philosophy books in my eReader.

>repeat endlessly nesting philosophies

Isn't LSD far easier to control?
I thought LSD was the same as being in control of a spaceship, while mushrooms is like being tied to the back of a spaceship.

Stirner-senpai, best waifu.

Amphetamines do wonders when I'm reading philosophy. Never did it on cocaine though, but I find the effects of the latter too short-lasting. Plus, it being structurally close to methylphenidate, my body doesn't metabolize it properly, so I don't experience that rush of euphoria every user talks about.

>>37865491
People's experiences are very different on hallucinogens, it's very hard to assign a single "rule" to how you'll feel
For instance, I prefer LSD because I get a very soothing euphoric feeling where with shrooms I just have a pretty regular mindset but with wacky colors

>>37863054
I could unironically study it and probably eventually get funding. But I have no self-confidence so I don't pursue it.

I haven't read anything in years and the last thing I read was At the Mountain of Madness
How do I get used to reading again?

Spotted the coke fag who doesn't know that noddin off your ass is way more enjoyable than sweating your ass off hoping you're not about to have a heart attack.

>>37865200
Lel you dont smoke kratom you fucking nigger, the alkaloids would be destroyed from the heat if you did that. No nigga, toss and wash. Kratom can honestly be better than most percs if you know how much to take and which strains sedate and cause euphoria.

t. kratomfag who knows his shit

>>37865489
Sounds like me, fellow transcendental. Giving up the artificial human-thought seperatist nature for the ethereal and constant nature of non-sapience is the final step for being one with the universe. Anything percieved as "human" is seperate from nature and thus not intended to be affiliated with us, so why should we continue to follow it?

>>37865532
>where with shrooms I just have a pretty regular mindset but with wacky colors

Sounds like you didn't do enough.

Who here /delusional/ here?

>think I'm woke even though I'm an uneducated, lazy brainlet
>I become unable to enjoy life because muh "to smart too feel happiness"

Seriously the only person you're fooling is yourself op.
