Listening to leftist youtubers will one day drive me insane :D
> Destiny on relationships:
I think there is really big costs to women maintaining bad relationships but maybe not as much for men.
> And then also, especially if childern are involved, a guy can be divorced and separated, and it's not that big of a deal.
He said, being separated from your kid is not a big deal.
-_-
Well, that explains a lot I guess.
@NEETzsche
I am glad you care, but that would kill me :D
To tell an autist to not analyze the world he lives in is like telling an artist to stop drawing.
@NEETzsche
Sure.
I have actually posted many times, that I love the fact, that people around me are not in the cult.
But philosophy is formed at the edges of the spectrum. There is nothing intellectually interesting in the middle :D
@NEETzsche
Nah...
Reading "serious philosophers" seems like a waste of time to me. This might be because of my education, but I saw, how do "real economists" think, and while they had the most pointless layered terms, all they did was hide the truth, that was ridiculously simple.
If economy professors cannot handle "inflation is a tax", because his special term for tax in his dictionary web doesn't allow the connection, then everything he says from there on is useless.
@NEETzsche
Yeah...
I am sorry about that. Before podcasts, this used to be solved by watching TV, but that's even worse somehow :D
@NEETzsche
> You could start a family, open a business, start some FOSS project, name it, but instead you're trying to "analyze" the political philosophy
Man, I know you mean well, but you cannot just go to an autistic guy, and tell him he can form a family. 
@NEETzsche
Nah, my point was quite different.
To quote my favorite TV character:
"I am trying doprdele"
@NEETzsche
Also, just in case it makes any difference to you, I was diagnosed 20 years ago in a process, that included brain scans for some reason.
So, it isn't a modern self-diagnosis.
But I am seriously tired of explaining to people (mostly boomers), that I do in fact want a relationship, and it was the thing I wanted the most for the last 13 years of my life.
@NEETzsche
But you mentioned, that I should focus on real philosophers.
I will skip the obvious attack on "what if nothing is real" shit that Jaden Smith would argue, because I have already expressed my disdain for Etymology (or whatever variation of word meaning science).
What is the value you see in the real philosophy?
It’s better thought out on average. Don’t think for a second that there weren’t a bajillion pseuds in 1850 or whenever. However, they all got forgotten because their views weren’t worth considering in the first place, or were, at best, topical writings that haven’t been relevant since politics became about something else. So the things you find out about now from the distant past have lasted the test of time, which is a test worth taking seriously.
That isn’t to say that I don’t discuss things with people. I’m doing it with you right now. However, my standards for who I will chat with on the fediverse are very different from my standards for who I will listen to for 3 hours straight in an audiobook/podcast. Or read for a similar amount of time. All of the new kids on the block whose opinions I take seriously enough to listen to their long-form shit are nobodies, Literally Whos.
One of these people probably can't have a family and a normal life and the other one can.
