No I think philosophy is cool actually
I'm being facetious with this, but what philosophers do you like?
Be the man Marcus Aurelius thinks you can be
Little Footnote for the unawares, Nietzsche was NOT a nazi philosopher, a close relative of his converted his writings to nazi ideology and claimed it was him.
He was actually pretty religious, though, when he wrote "God is Dead" he was actually writing a warning to athiests and unaligned that a world without a central pillar of morality was coming. Ironically, uneducated religious people have been misconstruing his message ever since thinking it was an argument against them instead of for them, lmfao.
Well I think Karl Marx agrees on some way. But when you are BFFs with Engels and enjoy Fox Hunts as a pass time, are you eating the rich or just saying everyone should eat like the rich?
Camus! Just enjoy everything! Rebel against meaning!
One that I really enjoyed during my pretentious phase was the father of modern philosophy himself, Immanuel Kant. He wrote a lot about ethics and aesthetics but the crux of his work boils down to the idea that space and time are just "forms of intuition" that structure our experience and are just appearances we can comprehend. The true nature of things as they are in themselves is unknowable to us.
As someone who has always considered themselves very rational and more of an agnostic than an atheist, his ideas really clicked with me.
But have you asked yourself why?
EXACTLY! You see my point!?
