Money has no actual real value anyways and everything is hyperinflated and costs way too much because the jedis and Chinese have to sell it to eachother 500 times before it reaches the consumer.
I remember when I eavesdropped on two old rich people and they said "I only got $500,000 saved up, I need to double that if I want to spend the rest of my life in comfort" and the dude was in his 70's
The more you own means you have to pay more taxes and more bills which means you need to keep contributing to the system or else it all goes away. Millionaires can't afford to retire because they own too much expensive shit and have responsibility.
That's why old people get to crotchety about social security because they know the only way they can retire is if the system is in their favor.

Most people on this forum are NPC's because when you talk to them they just say the same shit every time. "KRÖZ IS A RAPIST", "RIP MALICE", "CLOSE REGISTRATIONS", "GLAD INFINITYSHOCK IS BANNED".
You are all just mindless alts following your programming.
You don't know what actual human life is all about.

And holy fuck do I miss that guy. I think he was getting really into opiates around the same time I was. I eventually got clean though (of opiates at least).
My last communication with him was via e-mail a few years ago.
Buddy, if you're out there and see this somehow, I really miss you man. Please reach out to me.
Post this in the totse subreddit. Nobody will see it here.

Reading the historical works of philosophy is kind of a waste of time now, except as entertainment. Like nobody needs to ever watch a Superman or Spiderman origin story again.
Honestly, nobody really wants to read shitty 2000-200 year old philosophy books. You don't see physics hobbyists reading the Principia Mathematica as a modern maths textbook either. The only reason people do it for philosophy is because it's easy to let your imagination get lost somewhere down the tracks of more primitive philosophical discussions, which are written like the Bible. People love a good story, and it's easy to get convinced along the way and refuse to see the legitimate criticisms of the next one you read.
Going into philosophy to confirm your own biases is a real hazard that people don't give enough credit.
In general I would recommend picking up a good textbook that can walk you through the history of philosophy in medium depth, so you can get to contemporary philosophy, where IMO the actual meat of the interesting discussion is.
You can understand the points and reasons behind the works of the big papi philosophers without actually reading their book, and it will help you stay outside of the yarns they spin and remain rational.
There is a big payoff to working your way up to contemporary philosophy, where we've really advanced since we moved past discussions that mostly focused on correcting Descartes's errors. This is where it actually gets interesting.

True, the ancient Egyptians were using sophisticated engineering well before it was codified.
The reason they call doctorates a "PhD" is because it stands for Doctor of Philosophy. That's because, historically, "science" as we now call it, was once considered a branch of philosophy.
if you really think of it, quantum mechanics are really just philosophies since most of it are just theoretical.
ie, think-dos.

§m£ÂgØL, You see how many racist pigs are on this site? You see how they mess with Candy relentlessly? Do you see how she handles herself with dignity and grace? I can understand why she took it the way she did. I took it that way when I read your post.
I would say most people who use slurs on here are not actually racist. I'm a minority and have been in mixed relationships and yada yada but I'll still call a nigger a nigger. Has nothing to do with skin color. I didn't even know Candy was black, but now I know she's a little BITCH.
