I don’t even know where to begin… a lot. I’ve learned a lot, from many people on this forum and others as well. A lot of my initial doubts and suspicions were confirmed from the beginning. My life has always drawn toward Philosophy and philosophical thinking / argumentation / rationalization. Satyr has had the strongest effect and I feel he’s a modern-day Socrates type, who the normies, midwits, and dimwits of Athens (Western Civilization) detest and hate, because he exposes their stupidities and irrationalities, out in the open.
You may or may not know this… but there’s been lots of crazies and psychopaths around here: “polishyouth”, “WWIII_Angry”, etc. These types, with no strong masculinity, and weak minds, will happily commit acts of violence and hate, from being defeated in argument, or made fools of publicly. The ability to draw these types out, exposes to me, how necessary and valuable Philosophy is, for Political and practical purposes. The masses of the world, the normies, are more-than-happy to tell you what they think and why. Usually they merely expose their childhood and teenage Indoctrinations, and the subsequent belief-systems and core-beliefs they trust in.
Violent psychotics and unintelligent people don’t belong in, or last long in, Philosophical venues. Because philosophy relies on very high, stringent, logical and rational standards. It depends on large degrees of Honesty and “Good Will”. If people are only here to do violence, and to ignore one another, then Philosophy cannot be conducted. Society descends into a state of war and violence. So it’s best, pragmatically, to fight and ‘win’ these countless arguments and debates via Reason first. That delineates the lines throughout society.
As for the rest of what I’ve learned… very abstract conclusions which can be extended from obvious, simple axioms. For example, if races are NOT equal, and genders are NOT equal, and IQ is NOT equal… then it stands to reason, that hierarchies exist under specific causes and effects. Therefore, I’d want to know exactly what leads to disparity. What is the formula for competition? What is the history of it? Can hierarchies be overthrown, or not, and do people really want what they claim, if they could witness in advance the consequences of their beliefs and ideologies? Most people dwell in Ignorance, because it’s comfortable in life. Ignorance is the basis for ‘easy’ lives and lifetimes.
I wouldn’t want such a thing. I want “The Truth”. I want Freedom of Though, aka Free-Will.
