Who is your favorite philosopher?
Either the one Jefferson noted as the best of them all or the one that says philosophy is for faggots.
Peter Singer.
His work for animal rights, effective altruism and overall ethics is great.

Schopenhauer is the only philosopher a real robot can relate to.

unironically Epictetus. more robots need to read him.
Unironically Stirner.
>>39073700
>>39073534
Epictetus and Diogenes are fantastic as well.
Diogenes, takes balls to tell the emperor of the largest civilization to fuck off to his face
>>39073649
Once we kill all atheists, we can finally have peace
inshallah
Definitely Kierkegaard. Reading him is like communing with a good friend.
>>39073448
Eventually they would pile so high they could walk down safely. You clearly didn't think this through.
>>39073237
Camus or Watts although it's kinda debatable whether the latter is even a philosopher since it seems most of his lectures are just him using metaphors to explain established eastern philosophy to white piggus
>>39074136
Good one

Easy kid one day you will understand why some people need faith
Its okay you're young and angry and think you understand the world give it a few years you will get there buddy
>>39073649
Just because one doesn't believe in a specific god, doesn't make him an atheist.
Nietzsche, wanting people to overcome themselves and be free. Encourages readers to love life for its beauty and ugliness and to live dangerously.
Our Leader.
>>39073237
Diogenes was such a fucking legend.
Voltaire, he refers a lot himself to Zarathustra which is interesting from historical perspective.
>>39074243
kek. what do you guys think of his vids tho his laugh was a little too forced for my liking
>>39073237
Diogenes is a God tier NEET. I choose him.
Unironically and literally me

>spend years planning a blaze of glory

>>39073237
None. Most philosophers just make observations about the world that any 20 year old could and then obfuscate them with big words until they appear to be profound
>>39074370
If noone ever observed those """"basic"""" oberservations they would've never been dicussed.
>>39074370
>obfuscate them with big words
>>39074421
You ever hear the expression "there is nothing new under the sun"?
>>39074582

Is that before or after the next extinction level event?
>>39074283
I loved the videos and the manifesto. Yeah he was kinda a spoiled rich kid, but he really saw and understood how females act and how it shapes society. He also understood the absolute hopelessness of his situation in the end.
He also managed to take down some normies rather than just turning the gun on himself. Praise be to St. Elliot.
>>39074321
He did more to fight the normies and the stacies than you'll ever do, faggot.
>>39074652
I wish for that day desu.
Live has no value so there is nothing to be lost.
>>39074220
>Atheist
>a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.
hm
>>39074709
That's a shitty definition. One who simply lacks belief is an agnostic. Atheists actively disbelieve in God.
>>39074422
I doubt that was intentional but now I hope it was.
>>39074370
man this is something that really pisses me off. I love when we're together with friends and the convo gets deeper. When I try to read more about those ideas later, it's always some faggot writing his thoughts like he's shakespear.
Can anyone recommend good philosphical works that are written the way my drunk friends speak and not pseudo intellectual shid?
>>39074744
False.
Agnostics take the position of god as a serious possibility, but they are not sure, so they don't have a strong opinion.
Atheists take the existence of Yahweh as seriously as the existence of the Easter bunny. Of course they don't actively believe in the non-existence of god.
>>39074816
I don't know dude. Here in Brazil we refer to the kind of philosophy you are talking about as "philosophy of the bar". Which is basically somewhat philosophical discussions that are loose and we have with our friends when we are really drunk. I'd recommend you start with the classics (even though I haven't read them, but I'm recommending them because everyone else does).
Dostoevsky
>>39074834
>telling me I'm wrong by expanding upon my point
>>39074762
Not believing alone isn't agnosticism, agnosticism is when you actively think that we can't or simply don't know whether god exists or not. Lacking faith IS what atheism is, however, it's just that the definition has been co-opted by all the atheist activists who've somehow made their disbelief an extremely outspoken ideology.
You might notice that atheism and agnosticism aren't actually words that contradict each other. It's why the term "agnostic atheist" exists, it's completely synonymous with how you're defining agnostic.
One comment.
>>39074893
Language evolves, numbnuts. We're not talking about traditional atheists or agnostic theists/atheists. Atheism has come to describe people who actively disbelieve in religion. Agnostic has come to replace the original terminology of atheist, while neither being atheist nor theist. You wouldn't call yourself atheist if you really didn't care about the subject at all, you'd just say you weren't religious.
Why can I post comments without being original and without them being muted?

I dunno why.

Written philosophical works are always going to be complex and elaborate.
research the authors and check youtube video of them.

I'm a "strong atheist", but I like and respect the Buddha, mainly. There are others like Aristotle or Montesquieu or Marx or whatever that I also like, but you asked for my favorite, so...
>>39075014

>>39074816
Philosophy treats fundamental abstract principles and is itself a research for pure forms of truth : this is why it usually don't uses much images and is full of rethorical jargon.
You can however find philosophical meaning in many writtings, plays, comedy etc. but I don't know good international sources for that. Most of international shit we import is very conformist to my taste and don't meet my standards.
>>39073237
>Who is your favorite philosopher?
myself unironically
Rousseau was a chill guy
Kripke, obviously.
>>39073237
Jean Paul Sartre
David Chalmers.
Consciousness biatches
>>39074953
I think this is splitting hairs too much. In every mainstream dictionary, the word for both the person who says "I don't believe in God" and the person who says "God doesn't exist" is atheist. Just like protester can mean violent and non-violent protester. Imagine if, in the next 10 years, the most vocal people who called themselves protesters or associated with the word were violent. It'd be rough to then say that Gandhi wasn't a protester(even though he called himself one), even though in the then modern times it might make sense to. Changing the entire widespread dictionary definition of the word because of some new dickheads is rough territory, man.

>Written philosophical works are always going to be complex and elaborate.
I remember Sam Harris saying on the Joe Rogan podcast that doing his own audiobook narration was tricky because there were language choices that were difficult to even vocalize. Despite it being his own words, found that kinda funny.
Kant. Degenerate metaphysical faggots BTFO.

Go home Diogenes. Nobody here cares
Kierkegaard is my favorite.
Some runner ups are Camus and Schopenhauer.
>>39076050
existentialism is best philosophy for a person who wants to achieve anything in life
also add Nietzsche and Heidegger into the mix
>>39073237
Pascal or Hobbes. Pascal is so intergral to my life but I share Hobbes' world view I guess
>>39076261
I've just began reading Nietzsche, and I'm liking him thus far. Never read Heidegger. Is it true that his philosophy is very intricate and hard to understand?
Also a big fan of existentialism though. We must always consider the thing in itself over our essential reality.
>>39073237
Oh fuck I forgot about the king of mental gymnastics himself Vizzini and threadly reminder he was not outwitted his opponent simply had a resistance he could not have known about and he went in with as much knowledge as he had
>>39076368
I really like Heidegger because of his concepts of hermeneutic circle and phenomenology. They are amazing, complex tools to interpret the world and just points out how soaked we are in certain values without even realising it. It's really sad people associate him with just nazism.
>>39076535
I think he got the Nietzsche treatment but dumped down even more
