besides sex?
why do people seek them out so much? why are women such a motivating force? just because there's a chance to reproduce?
imagine an ideal woman, don't give her any other attributes but physical ones, now imagine that all she does is simply wear makeup, consoom and browse facebook/funnyjunk all day
now take this same woman but turn her into your average man, why would you want to obsess with this?
why are they so desirable anyway?

>Is it possible to get into philosophy as a hobby or from pleasure reading?
Of course it is, just start with some shit that sounds good and see how your interpretation of a text differs from your peers

Is philosophy a waste of time?

1. All philosophers explain incredibly simple ideas in complicated ways. Say Hume for example. Why write a long essay to say that miracles might be hard to prove? We take it all as a given that miracles might not in fact happen and people make shit up. Why try to link some loose idea of logic to this?

2. There is also so much of just making shit up. Plato and his forms for instance, there is no proving that it's true. Augustine and his ideas on time as well, is it really true if you selectivity chose things to make a point? Nearly all philosophy is plagued by confirmation bias.

3. Lastly, what does Philosophy actually do for you? You spend a few months studying a thinker, but did it really improve your life in any way? Hearing these things which you already know to be true (say Kant and his idea of the golden rule) is needless because people already take it for granted. Did it truly improve your life knowing why people might think it's "LOGICAL" to treat people nicely? If you don't think about it the conclusion is the same.

I've been reading difficult books the past few months and I want to know why. Am I seriously wasting my life on this shit?
