Is Yea Forums the best website on the internet?

I was surprised to see another Mick talking about Evola. Maybe it's more a matter of internet autists all being the same person.

There are such depths to snooker lore that it’s almost unfathomable.

I only really talk about Nietzsche, Sade and Spinoza, but yeah, I remember chatting to an eirebro about such topics before.
although the most interesting "philosophical" question for me now is whether Riggins made a Faustian pact that allowed him to continue playing but by losing the ability to win major finals.

I honestly think a good portion of Yea Forums posts here too lol. I've probably argued with a bunch of the people here about fucking Amor Fati or something lol.
My favourite anyway, it's a great place that filters away posers etc and has true autistic quality to discussion, here for example.
Takes me back to much happier times Austria, I got so drunk that night :( Bless you for saving it.

Its really strange how that works sometime. You think you're alone then all of a sudden you're surrounded with people with similar ideas. I blame the media for not accurately depicting their own countries

>Nietzsche
Yeah that was definitely me then lol. Nietzsche is (was anyway before I got too busy to read) my specialty, I've probably forgotten so much by now

Following on from previous thread, can any philosophy bros recommend some stuff for me? My belief systems have collapsed and I'm very deterministic in my thinking but always drawn to esoteric shit which leads me nowhere but to confusion and nihilism. I need to try and reestablish some meaning in my life or I'm just going to go full neet and ldar for life.

>how does one end up on Yea Forums at 50, I'm really curious about his story

Started some years ago . Read on the Guardian ( Independent? WPost? can't remember ) that this was the funniest and more dangerous place of the net.
So started... on Yea Forums ffs of all places. Got bored, gravitated towards Yea Forums since i like European comics (or if you prefer non-american cape shit), then /pol/ where I still stay for the news since mainstream media is shite and on Yea Forums come bcs of the snooker and the people here on /147/ can take jokes.

Ask what you want, I will reply as I can.

is that a persona 3: festival edition reference?

So 2 things:
-You are here forever is not a meme but the truth.
-Deleted all my troll/jokes/snooker folder to cut the addiction 3 weeks ago..

I’d recommend leaning into pessimism and discovering its paradoxical joy (Schopenhauer, Cieran, etc.). You could move on and embrace magical esotericism if you want more meaning.

I'm just a tourist who comes for bigger tournaments or occasionally if i'm watching a ranking event on eurosport but I really do enjoy /147/. I hope us tourists don't ruin the vibe too much.

>So started... on Yea Forums ffs of all places
Until the 2016 US election started bringing people directly to /pol/, just about everyone came to Yea Forums first

my advice, before any reading, would be to see philosophers as toolkits for creative endeavours (writing, painting, whatever it is you do creatively) rather than systems of thought to reject or adhere to.
it's how it works better for me. you can still produce a beautiful life, or an "aesthetics of existence", so to speak, without being paranoid about overall meaning and purpose (I've been there, that's why I mention this).

Was going to post about that. Good news I suppose.

>nearly 5% of the population of Britain was watching Selby win.
Read Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground and Crime and Punishment are pretty good at attacking Nihilsm, after that I'd try Nietzsche, he's THE anti-nihilist writer. If you're religious then a mix of Dosto and Kierkegaard is very good. My own advice though, find your passion and chase it, I'm doing that now and even having a general outline of a plan is very nice.
For me, it's when the snooks ends.

I'm also a huge fan of non-capeshit comics, especially Franco-Belgian bande dessinnée (I was actually born in Belgium).
my introduction to snooker happened in Ireland and the first match I watched was the Doherty-Hendry final (1997).

was someone goofing in the audience?

Learn how to read properly first. Go to Yea Forums and have a look. It's a cesspit but there's some good guides here and there.

>Thank you for coming up with it (hope the happy times will come soon again)
Nothing will be as good as those comfy Marshall arena days lol

You have wife and kids?

Someone waving their hands.

This is a good take. As someone more political than creative I am using it to supplement my world view. You cannot go too deep or you will drive yourself crazy. I have heard this happening when people go too far down the eastern philosophy rabbit hole.

>Dosto and Kierkegaard
These are great recommendations but, fuck me, if you’re already struggling then they might push you over the edge! They attempt to tackle the hard problems but there’s no easy solutions in there.

>We will show an hour of snooker on BBC1, then switch to BBC4 for one frame, then iPlayer for another hour, then we will join DJ Steak Bake on BBC3 for some diverse commentary for the remainder

>Franco-Belgian
There's a lot of good authors right now . Christophe Bec, Froideval, Xavier Dorison.

Highly recommendable.

Haha true, I think Dosto is very nice reading though, especially Notes From Underground, short and sweet and hits hard. White Nights is also a nice story about finding happiness and meaning even in failure.

I go through phases with reading (like most things). At the end of last year I started reading Houllebecq and some other stuff and was obsessed with Yea Forums for a while. Then the desire to read just leaves me and I don't read for months. Its a weird trait I have, I lose all interest in things for long periods of time. I read some Gurdjieff/Ouspensky recently. Ultimately, a complete waste of time I think.

No, sometimes i think i miss that. But on the other hand i think i missed a ton of stress, perhaps divorce and financial problems as I see in cousins and co-workers.
So i do well in terms of money for a poor country like us and even for European terms.

I strongly suspect that John Virgo has recently been charged with the offence of driving without due care and attention.

Schopenhauer is my favourite writer and I thoroughly recommend The World as Will and Representation, both volumes.

my advice watch some snooker, have a wank over hazel and chill the fuck out

>Learn how to read properly first.
?

I know Froideval.
will check the others, thanks.

All I know of Schopenhauer is from Yea Forums memes about him kicking some bitch down the stairs. Can pessimism be empowering? I don't want to go over the edge.

Have you ever heard of the wisdom of insecurity by Alan Watts? That was my first ever philosophy book 15 or so years ago. It came to me at a tough time . People have a lot to say about Alan Watts but that book is really good and may be what you need? Its short and not really that demanding

/pol/ is very fast reporting anything, if you discount trolling and shills and acts as a counter-part for the mainstream media that goes full extreme-left sjw. Both me and other guys in real life thinks this new left has forgotten the working people. It was not like this 20 years ago.

He gives you a metaphysical explanation of why life feels like constant suffering (which is very similar to the buddhist theory of the same but more obviously philosophical rather than religious) and then tells you where to find joy (without the asceticism you find in the buddhist response to the problem). Worth dipping your toes at least.

You want religion, not philosophy.
Though if you specifically want to read about "establishing meaning" then J. L. Austin should prove interesting.

PEAK ‘tism-kino(‘How to do Things with Words’ is one of the finest pieces of 20th C philosophy). Although it can’t see how it would help with existential struggles.

I will enquire further, thanks. I have been drawn to Buddhism in the past, went on a meditation retreat years ago.

Best place to start? I will admit that I probably lack the intellect and patience for very dense stuff.
