EDIT: adding the following to clarify: it is not that I don’t WANT to read, but rather lose the interest once I receive the message of the book. About 2 days ago I started reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but couldn’t make it past 30 pages, as I got the idea. I of course had discussions about the ”superman” and also read about it before. So I found no reason in reading/finishing the book. Yet I feel ”obligated” to read these books, as I sometimes mention them in discussions, and do not want to make a fool of myself. I just can’t see what I ”miss” as a whole, on not reading them, but still having the concepts/messages of the books.

I fucking hate reading, so I buy books that are about other books. I tell you the only guy I can read is Mortimer Adler. I hate it, it takes so much time and I lose interest quickly.

Yeah yeah I read some horology books but I'm a watchmaker so there's that. Reading sucks, debate me.

Philosophy books are actual horseshit, you'd be wasting your time.

Why do you think they're shit?

They are really long and actively make you dumber as you read them. A standard philosophy book consists of a European autist spending 700 pages attempting to convince you that red bicycles are red, and failing. And those are just the more modern ones, ancient philosophy actually goes out of its way to be as wrong as possible. "Falling speed is governed by weight", "The idea of a cup is not an idea, somewhere in the world there is a pure example of the abstract concept of a cup in physical form, which governs all use of the idea of a cup somehow. And you are a cave-dwelling ignoramus if you don't agree with me."

There are some that are worth reading but they're the ones that really go against the grain and skip all the "first we must prove that existence exists" bullshit" and talk about somewhat tangible elements of the human experience (politics, communication, etc.)

Philosophy is just fetishism under an academic banner

>>15193
I'm a philosopher, completely agree.
Silly. What would you recommend? I am aware the average person still likes fetishism in daily language.

>>15194
Yep. That's why more practical sciences are disdained by working class adults.

Philosophy is idealism, which is the heart of malehood.

Philosophy is just adults complicating things to create an articial product called maturity.
