/lit/ - Literature

>>22298105
Because you perceive the worthlessness of the world so much more vividly than hypersocialized faggots that are completely unreflective because they have to go meet Bradley for brunch on Saturday morning!

I’ve read all of the vols of world as will and representation, and a smattering of other philosophy. I also work in an airport and see thousands of people everyday. They’re all disgusting and ugly to me. The whole mass of society, men trapped in shitty marriages and forced to be a plow horse for their children. Women’s feral and underdeveloped slave-to-their-emotion su humanity yet we see them as this awe inspiring thing.

It’s all repulsive to me. So that’s probably how they think as well. Why bring a kid into this world to suffer and slowly decay and die with the only consolation being a brief several years of youth? Thankfully I enjoyed my childhood but there’s so many fucking losers that just didn’t enjoy anything in their youth and now they’re supposed to just plod on until death when they couldn’t even enjoy the best part? Lol fuck that

because when you are immortal you don't need a bloodline

>>22298119
Man it blows that even a good childhood can't prevent someone from turning out this shitty and bitter

>muh bloodline
Ape cope desu

>>22298105
Because they prioritize other aspects of life that only humans can accomplish rather than spending decades of their life to create half-copies of themselves that goats also do

>>22298119

and yet if Plato had sons, they also could have been immortal, and the world might be a little better than it is.

>>22298119
>I've read one text through from the one of the most pessimistic philosophers in history, and this is what I think, so it's probably what all famous philosophers think too
>>22298105
Because they're too busy doing philosophy. Most famous mathematicians, physicists, etc. also don't have children. They gain more satisfaction out of solving problems, and they value their ability to do so more than starting a family. the main exception I can think of is Euler, but he was doing high level math in his head after going blind in both eyes, so he's probably not a fair standard to hold.

a man's heredity to the world can accomplish far more and last far longer as a non physical one
but that said a biological one is at least something for a little while, if you are nowhere in the league of those people

>>22298119
>I also work in an airport and see thousands of people everyday
Nobody is at their best in the airport. And the people who work at airports are all power tripping little bitches

>>22298200
>the main exception I can think of is Euler
Gauss also had a family. And a lot of other mathematicans. Mathematicans fuck. So it has nothing to do with solving problems. It's just philosophers that are non-functional dicked faggots.

>>22298244
>And a lot of other mathematicans. Mathematicans fuck.
Like who? I agree mathematicians fuck, but the absolute most successful ones (especially I'm thinking of Newton or Neumann) avoided it. In my personal life my mathematics professors were usually more neurotic and isolated, whereas my philosophy professors tended to be people persons and relatively well-adjusted.

>>22298279
>Like who?
Riemann? Cauchy? Poincare? Those are the most relevant I think with Euler and Gauss.

>Newton
He was also a philosopher, his physics just happened to be more influental historically. The philosopher part is what made him not fuck.

>Neumann
What are you talking about, he had wife and kids

>>22298105
Socrates had children.

>>22298334
i know he's based

>>22298327
Actually, Schopenhauer had children that died in infancy. Aristotle had a son. Socrates had three. Hegel had two. Heidegger had one biological son.

>>22298556
Schopenhauer told a roatie that she can come with him to other city to escape the plague but he never said anything about his "child" which wasn't probably his.

>>22298105

It’s actually a much more pleasant experience than having to discuss Game Of Thrones anyday, despite the latter technically being literature.

Well that’s the issue there…I’m no huge fan of Clarence Thomas but if we can do with that ruling of his and expand it from colleges to all walks of life, we would save ourselves a shit load of grief.

>Plato goes further. He says with an innocence possible only for a Greek, not a “Christian,” that there would be no Platonic philosophy at all if there were not such beautiful youths in Athens: it is only their sight that transposes the philosopher’s soul into an erotic trance, leaving it no peace until it lowers the seed of all exalted things into such beautiful soil.

Hmm, I wonder why...

Children are a colossal hassle, we are programed not to kill them biologically like some reptiles will because of the limits of human females. If you are trying to write a book to revolutionize the way people think you probably just don't have the time to deal with children. All great philosophers either go monk mode and stay that way, fuck hookers and play the illegitimate roulette wheel, or engage is down low homosexual activities, or open homosexual activities depending on cultural mores. Look, this system has worked for thousands of years, while philosophical inquiries into the nature of it are appreciated, it is a finely honed science at this point. Plus, don't even get me started on having to talk to women in order to find a suitable mate, that already is such a colossal soul crushingly depressing endeavor as is, just let the philosophers do their work.

>Thus the philosopher abhors marriage, together with all that might per-suade him to it, – marriage as hindrance and catastrophe on his path to the optimum. Which great philosopher, so far, has been married? Heraclitus, Plato, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant, Schopenhauer – were not;
indeed it is impossible to even think about them as married. A married philosopher belongs to comedy, that is my proposition: and that exception, Socrates,the mischievous Socrates, appears to have married ironice, simply in order to demonstrate this proposition. Every philosopher would say what Buddha said when he was told of the birth of a son: ‘Râhula is born to me, a fetter is forged for me’ (Râhula means here ‘a little demon’)

>>22298105

because they were all beta faggots. philosophy is nothing more than a fancy term for "self help".

>>22299189
Land, Nick? He's married to an ugly jew and has two kids

>>22298105
Because that which you would make your child the progeny of, you make into the world you live in, a much greater feat of reproduction than any children you could ever have; it may not be entirely good to the full extent, but it definitely explains their reproductive apathy as concise as possible.

you know these things called baby mommas exist.

go knock up a few 5/10 women fulfill the biological imperative, then go fuck off and think/write/create etc etc

I have 5 biological children I've never seen.

Oh, so you're 12. Good to know you were larping, then. You know you shouldn't be posting here, right, kid?

So you haven proven morality is real or that what I did is wrong. Why are you still just rageposting with no substance? What do you hope to achieve here?

>>22298105
>>22298119
Anyone who says they're too smart to bring children into the world is an objective fucking liar, they are 100% just unfuckable and mentally ill and have no shot at reproduction with anyone other than a fellow dreg.
The real reason philosophy "kills" your bloodline is that normal people with families and responsibilities don't sit around in an armchair theorizing about human interactions. They live it. It's a certain kind of person who is immediately excluded from the human race to begin with and it's disproportionately these types getting deep into "philosophy", almost always some incredibly deprecating view of the masses that rejected them.

>>22300080

>>22300088
>can't think
>can't read either
Rough anon. Let me rephrase it for you. Normal people don't have gaping holes in their lives because they're not outcast spergs. They don't spend decades of their lives coming up with unified theories of how humans interact because they routinely interact with other humans, including their children. Op asks why philosophy seemingly ends bloodlines but I'm just explaining the philospher class and the incel class are the same, that he has it back to front. Those men were never going to breed and if it wasn't philosophy it would've been model trains or their literary equivalent of anime or some such sperg pursuit.

>>22300113
I love the zoomercel revisionism involved in assuming every great philosopher was some stammering unfuckable dork. Thinking at the level these men do precludes whatever bullshit teen movie trope you faggots are obsessed with

>>22300123
>philosophers were all incels or latent model train spergs
Don't you ever get tired of never having outgrown teen movie tropes?

>>22298105
Serious engagement in philosophy requires full commitment, which is possible with a rather monastic lifestyle, if not in form, then in essence. So there is neither strength nor time left for the family, and most often there is no desire.

Yes, Socrates had a family. About which it is known that his wife was stupid and grumpy, and her sons were only stupid. The philosopher finds the continuation of "kind of" in the disciples, and not in biological children, who in most cases do not have even a shadow of the father's abilities.

>>22298532
Shitty philosopher, good family man.

>>22298194
Almost always, nature rests on the children of geniuses. Most likely they would only be a disgrace to the father's name. Children of Plato: Academics.

>>22299447
How did you get away with not paying child support? How did you even find and get those women to agree to be pregnant?

“Unless, said I, either philosophers become negroes in our states or those whom we now call our negroes and hustlers take to the pursuit of philosophy seriously and adequately, and there is a conjunction of these two things, hustlin and philosophic intelligence, while the whitey horde of the natures who at present pursue either apart from the other are compulsory excluded, there can be no cessation of troubles, dear Glaucon, for our states, nor, I fancy, for the human race either.

>>22298119
I don't agree this is the reason, I do believe a family life hinders their mission to search for truth.

I do however have the same exact sentiment as you. I was raised in a Christian family, when I was a kid my father and sibling would beat me up if I didn't attend the Sunday's School at the Church. They're not very bright, and their best reason for a man to get married and have an offspring is because the bible told them so.

My father in particular is very stupid. I am 27 years old and I never learned anything from him. He's a coward, a liar, and didn't have his own principles, he parrots whatever was told to him. Typical for a religious person. If he chose a woman within his league I would have had a better father, or not be born at all which is better. My mother accepted him even after cheating so I guess she's equally retarded as well, and so am I, I guess.

it doesn't. Sophistry & midwit rhetoric does. Any philosopher worth any salt would've consulted the possibilty of conciousness being intertwined with reproduction & lineage survival, and that the only real way of trying to tackle the problem of trying to understand existence in all its essence would be to atleast try preserving as much of 'conciousness' as much as we can.

The socratic method implies spoken dialog with someone that can call out your bullshit when you're being a smartass, and Plato was probably against the written form because it encourages this sort of thinking and can propagate it in non self critical individuals.

>Everything that is born, has to die.
Fear of death is the most frightening thing, that is why 95% of the population uses one cope or the other to deal with it. Let's say you are one of the few brave men, who has conquered this fear without resorting to using any cope then...
>Death of your loved ones, especially the next generation
You may not fear your own death, but watching your loved ones pass away is a dreadful experience. You might try to reason that everyone dies and this may help you with your parents and older members of your family. But what your children. Nothing hurts a parent more than having to bury your own child. But let's say you are man of great wisdom and courage, this brings us to...
>Genetics and Enivornment
A parent has to take utmost care to give his best for his children. That is, provide not just food and shelter, but a proper education and upbringing. And not just that, but a healthy neighbourhood, some place where bad actors can't hurt your child. This costs a lot of money. Many parents work really hard for their children but they often fail to consider that their children may go through the same. If you are someone working 14 hours/day and hate your job, would you want the same for your child? Assuming you have a better work environment, you have to consider the human body itself, your own genetics. You hear about increase in obesity rates and genetic disorders, finding micro plastics in womb, etc. Environmental pollution has caused an increase in cancer rates too. Added the problem of climate change. And we haven't even understood these properly, let alone find a proper solution to it. Would you be willing to take your chances knowing this, while you stake your child's life? Can you say that you are acting in good faith, and are not giving into your selfish biological urges?

But a stronger power groweth out of your values, and a new surpassing: by it breaketh egg and egg-shell.
And he who hath to be a creator in good and evil—verily, he hath first to be a destroyer, and break values in pieces.
Thus doth the greatest evil pertain to the greatest good: that, however, is the creating good.—"

So many philosophers never have children because there is a concerted effort by certain parties to prevent hyperintelligent bloodlines from arising and threatening Homo Capensis' monopoly of intelligence & power over the masses of humanity.

Flies actually do a lot of pollinating as well. If you have a garden you can see them in action.

>Judging other people based on their job really speaks a lot about their personality. To think we have such immense faggots on /lit/ of all places..
NTA but yeah I agree. Unless it's some absolutely worthless job like DEI officer, etc then I don't judge someone based on their job as long as it benefits society positively.

No one respects a man past the age of 40 with no children. It's a truly sorry sight.

Those men don't need the respect coming from a seemingly mediocre person like you.

To spend your life pondering and writing philosophy you have to be kind of an autistic faggot with a whiff of pretentiousness (or more).
Same reason why all actors are bleeding hearts and unstable emotional retards. It’s a job where a little bit of insanity is a good thing. It’s like asking “why are the majority of computer programmers introverted?”… like the field itself isn’t conducive to people who would rather read from a screen for 12 hours a day than interact with people.

As if there's something honorable in being a 40 yo loner manchild loser kek. Enjoy being treated as an eunuch by society.

Its because we unironically live in a society

Why do you assume philosophers would be interested in such a baseline human thing? even animals reproduce offspring. Laymen think ''i must reproduce to continue my bloodline'' and place value on such things external to the will.

Take picrel and replace Nietzsche with any of them even Jung himself, who is surely one to point fingers when he studied fucking ALCHEMY like a nerd. Philosophy, for all its good, forces the philosopher to live in a noetic realm of ideas rather than in reality, which often comes at the cost of neglecting social life, and with neglecting social life comes a deficiency at building relationships, particularly with women. Reality and the world of the nous can be reconciled and you can live in both, but it takes extreme rationalizing with yourself and mental willpower, but it is extremely powerful. Yukio Mishima touches on it a little bit, and sufis as well as Buddhists speak of it too (“before enlightenment I jacked off and chopped wood blah blah blah after enlightenment I do the same thing.”)

Christianity started as an apocalyptic death cult. They thought the world would end in another few decades max. When it became clear that the second coming wasn’t going to happen any time soon, they had to tone it down and settle in for the long haul.
