One of the questions I was thinking about when I took that course on existentialism is why might religious existentialism be superior, for lack of a better word, than vanilla existentialism. Research on that question led me to an essay titl

I can see how those two philosophers can well-equip you with a good metaphysical framework for life. I haven't read Aurelius's Meditations but it's lying around somewhere - in due time, I suppose. I failed an existentialism

Skimmed the piece but it reminds me: it seems there is a thin line between a psychotic and a mystic. But yes, once you expose yourself to a certain level of crazy and/or you come to see how everything appears insane and/or you see

Thank you for question! And no, I don't think so. I think the important thing here to note is that studying philosophy―particularly phenomenology, existentialism, and theology―feels all-encompassing true and real compared to that of an

Thank you for the input. It's interesting, and hey, it might be the case down the road. But my main philosophy behind my seemingly naive post is this: I don't mind what happens. I'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter

Look, I'm studying undergraduate philosophy with no intention other than why not. Would I say I could learn the material on my own w/o college? Absolutely but I like the organized structure of college w/ professors, peers, et

Remember Blaise Pascal's divertissement (meaning: diversion, systematic distraction, etc)? He was alive in the 1600s, and he was making the same exact case we are making today! So I wouldn't be too quick to imply the ol' da

At the moment, I don't know. Do you any resources where one maybe may possible find something one would be interested in, in the C programming language domain? I've not thoroughly looked into compilers (i.e. LVMM) and operating sy

To piggyback this comment, does anyone know of any co's building something interesting mainly w/ the C programming language (and maybe even w/ Rust)? Also, that are usually open to interns/entry level programmers?

I like what you said about enlightenment. On a similar note, I tend to say, there is no such thing as those enlightened and those veiled in ignorance, we all shimmer from the same inexplicable source. But otherwise, I read this yesterday (a

On a tangent: If you were alive during the counterculture movement of the 1960s/1970s and have strong thoughts about it, I would love to do a short interview via email (email is in my profile bio) - it's for a history paper.

I too stripped away my online presence a few years ago. I even went ahead further and deleted all my accounts I don't use, aren't privacy-oriented, etc. I now have a spreadsheet of the very few accounts I have for specific product

All that is weighing heavily on us is due to being attached to false assumptions. There is, after all, no actual social reality by which to judge ourselves. It’s all made up and seemingly supported by a deranged consensus reality. We are fr

It's certainly a trade-off: by not partaking in social media and/or popular culture, you are bound to come up empty and alone in modern day. I usually like to say, do whatever you like to do, but remember to wear the world like a

I recently finished reading "The Wisdom of Insecurity" (1951) by Alan Watts. I have to go back through it again to grasp it further. It's a short read (~150 pages). I highly recommend it.

I suggest you complete your lower division courses at a community college then transfer to a university for your upper division courses. You'll save a lot of money doing so. It sounds like you might have some of your general education
