Philosophy.

I'm saying that the idea of "2" groups of "2" things giving you "4" things is all human perception, at the end of the day that's just a math equation that has nothing to do with reality. Basic addition is a human's way of making sense of the world around him but the things being added or subtracted exist independently of you adding or subtracting them. Any kind of "order" you see in the world is only as "real" as the amount of people that follow said order, a person who lives outside the realm of whatever order we're talking about shows that the order is in and of itself a human construct and not "real", in an objective sense

psh, intellectually lazy, I like that. Look bro at the end of the day all of this is just killing time. People have been asking themselves these very same questions since the dawn of abstract thought and we're not any closer to having answers. You can spend your whole life trying to figure them out but then you'd die never having answered them, because THERE AREN'T ANY. The entire precedent that "accepting dumb shit" is somehow antithetical to intellectual growth is ridiculous, because mindlessness is at the end of the day much more gratifying than sitting somewhere contemplating your own existence. It just takes balls to live for oneself, and a lot of people aren't comfortable enough in their own skin to take that leap, but getting over that hump is infinitely more freeing than doing the same old "what does it all mean" 2-step

Was on another forum and they had a philosophy thread it was quite interesting.
Heres one that someone wrote:

Isnt the truth just a perception agreed upon by the majority? The earth is flat was once the truth.

Agree?

Post some more, too

lol put it this way, you're not doing yourself any favors with all the abstraction, and the idea that you even used the phrase "intellectually lazy" without irony shows that you've got a lot more to learn about this whole existentialism shit lmao.

It's a hamster cage, the only thing you can do is stop running

lol see that's what I'm saying bro, that's rookie thinking, you most certainly DO have a choice as to whether or not to think about this shit, it's called mental discipline. Controlling one's own thoughts is the extension of existential inquisition that most never make it to, but its the only payoff there is for all of this. We agree on the idea that objectivity is outside the realm of human perception but I'm telling you, you can get over it.

lmao you're projecting, I said everything I meant to say. The point I been making from the beginning is that all of this is only going to lead to the thinker eventually just saying "fuck it" and going along with their day, not being any closer to having an answer to these grand existential queries they may so dearly desire an answer for. If you ENJOY thinking about your existence, if that's like your thing or something, then by all means, don't let me hold you up, but the only real functionality philosophical thought is ever going to have on someone's life is informing their financial decisions. You say that just because it's difficult to understand the rules of the universe doesn't mean there aren't any, but more to the point, regardless of whether or not there ARE rules, neither you nor I will EVER understand them so there's no reason to waste time trying. Unless, you know, you're having as much fun talking in circles as I am.

but yeah I made my point. I'll just post this here cuz i feel like this dude said it better than I could.

lol stress it all you want but you're still nowhere closer to finding these "universal truths" you're so convinced are out there. Nobody's saying that they don't exist, but what I am saying is that from a human standpoint they might as well not. And newsflash, this isn't a serious philosophical discourse, it's Hypebeast, if you're GENUINELY looking for the secret of life on HYPEBEAST your problems are way smaller than a meaningless existence lmao.

lmao you really don't get it. Engaging in hopeless activities is a hobby of mine, which explains why I'm even taking the time to type this, but all the rhetoric you've posted today show signs of a person resisting the absurd, still attempting to make sense of a senseless world, and at the end of the day that kind of thinking doesn't do anybody any favors. It seems to me that the point you continue to make is that "even though we do not have the answers to these questions, the answers are out there waiting to be uncovered by... someone" and my response to that is "yeah, and?"

Until somebody can actually prove what surrounds the universe, or what the catalyst for the Big Bang was, or what happens after you die, all of those things will continue to be big gaping holes in the consciousness of every self-aware individual, and the only thing you'll ever be able to do to assuage those nagging questions is just get over it and accept that you'll never know. Or have this exact same conversation. Again.

clearly these questions nag you.

im perfectly content with my philosophy and my questions, i love thinking all day.

lol you're just talking in circles dude

lmao what if it wasn't even about MY logic? Like, the fact that we're still having this conversation proves my point, the most any of this will lead to is more talking. And this isnt even about convincing you of the error of your thinking because you'll realize that for yourself one day. If you're thinking in terms of "my logic is more sound than that guys" you're still not even understanding the fact that LOGIC MEANS NOTHING. The way one make sense of things is completely idiosyncratic, people have to draw on lessons that they've learned and events they've seen that no one else has seen, and so one person's interpretation of the world really has no functionality in terms of another's.

The difference between me and you is I KNOW I'm talking in circles, because that's all anyone's ever going to do when discussing philosophy. You genuinely seem convinced that at some point the answers to the universe will make themselves available to mankind, which is in itself laughable, but while you're holding your breath the rest of the world is going to be going about its business. You said yourself how much you love thinking all day but thinking =/= action lmao

all of which affects life now... how?

edit: I think you guys might be misinterpreting my wordiness for investment in the discussion, let's be clear I really couldn't give less of a fuck what any of y'all niggas think at the end of the day, I dropped out of college, shit like this is one of my only opportunities to flex that pen game nahmean? Agree or disagree I'M getting money and I hope you doin the same lol.
