Theres no government like no government.

Eh it sorta depended on who you were and where you were then.

Tyranny doesn't make you safer.

You didn't need to fear no knock raids in 1999, but now you do.

The analytical tradition took over because it was far less controversial.

How do they teach Schopenhauer and Nietzsche to diverse snowflakes and careerists?

Mostly we teach philosophy to learn to think, and no one wants that anymore.

@monarchist @freepatriot I think, that if you look at proto-existentialism, then there is a grain of relevance there! Naturally over time, in the 20s-70s it just became woke. or proto-woke.

But the analytical philosophical tradition, where philosophy is just the handmaiden of science (from having been the handmaiden of theology) I think has won in the west.

@monarchist @freepatriot To me, it seems like actual philosophy (the big questions, how to live etc.) was kicked out from academia and settled somewhat easily in, as you say, literature (self-help and others), psychology and random online spaces like this one.

I think there is a small movement trying to bring it back into academia, but I'm not sure. Existentialism, which could be seen as an attempt, sadly took a nosedive into woke:ism and leftism and self-destructed.

@monarchist @freepatriot It does fill some kind of need, but from an everyday life point of view, it is boring and devoid of life.

I wish I could explain how but I just stopped giving a fuck about a lot of stuff.
I still feel like I'm going to break and lose my shit sometimes but it passes just as quickly as it comes these days, used to dwell and stew on things and drive myself crazy a lot

Is anyone else at a breaking point?

Those who say life in 2025 is better than life in 1993 are wrong.
