ok how many of you fantasize about talking about philosphy with the opposite gender.

[Spica66]

People around me irl don't give shit about philosophy. I enjoy having existential crisis with myself.

 

[someonesomeguy]

I don't even need it to be female.
I just said female cause
What is better than a friend who you can talk philosophy with who has same opinions as you.
A girlfriend you can talk philosophy with who has same opinions as you.
Getting both in one go.

Just one person who thought about the world and themselves and reached the same conclusions as me.

I can't believe you actually called it


No offense intended but are you suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure you're not putting yourself on some sort of figurative pedestal here? I've seen people complain about not having any intelligent conversations, especially irl, but what they really are is putting themselves above others intellectually - you know, like, pseudo intellectually. It's a lot of big words and fake science to make themselves sound smarter than they really are, and how they're better than everyone else and nobody can understand them.

That sort of thing can be cringy af. It's borderline chuunibyou territory, so yeah, I'd really be careful.

Genuine question:
Have you ever heard someone say "human experience" and not felt cringe after hearing that.

I agree.
I am pretty sure if carl jung was born now and he suddenly started talking about psychology anima and animus as his original ideas . Like they weren't supported by any previous science.

People would say. Yeah that dude is cringe and crazy.

People don't really talk about stuff they just start cringing at different opinions without even understanding them acting solely based on there first impression
Like most people either have no strong opinion about the world or those who do have a opinion have completely different opinions than me.
Like most people who do have a opinion have one where they value overall progress of human society or spiritual religious stuff.
Instead of stuff like absurdism or stuff which nietzsche said about forming your own values.

Yeah that is what i want. For once someone who has a strong opinions similar to my opinions about the world.

You will never know if you don't say it and just keep to yourself and fantasizing it. Like it or not, wishes and dreams only stay dreams and intangible objects unless we act on it. So to find someone with similar opinions? You're going to have to share it with someone irl and eventually you'll probably find one that actually agrees with some of your viewpoints.

yeah i know dude. I actually am trying that once this lock-down is over. This week.
I have gotten way more extroverted than how i was previously.

This lock down has actually made me more extroverted in a way. I talk to people through online forums and discord, in which I probably wouldn't have encountered or done so otherwise. Online socialization is not same as doing it in real life, but it is still some socialization at least.

I actually am fairly charismatic if i am talking about something i am passionate about. People easily share there problems with me.
I did lot of shit in this lock-down through discord.
Like some 12-13 year old was about to kill himself and i was the only guy to ask.
"hey bro are you ok"
I otalked to him for 3 months and he was pretty smart and going through the same problem of being surrounded by people who can't understand him and his parents with huge ego.
I called NGO child helpline on him after his permission . His condition improved a little. Then it got a little bad but it was still better condition then how it was initially and he would probably improve. Guy did not even have a single friend and thought his parents were homophobic. Turns out they were not homophobic just assholes. Did not talk to him after that cause
well i was spending too much time on discord and it was affecting my studies.
His condition got bad again but still it is probably better than how it was previously cause he atleast now has friends at school and isn't bullied as much.

Also like this is not even the first time. I once convinced a 17 year old depressed drug peddler to quit selling drugs and get help. When i was 15.


Also if i am with friends i actually like. I get a huge boost in my confidence. As a example i could ask random college students walking on the street
"Hey my friend right there has a question. He is really awkward around girls and doesn't believe that anyone is able to have sex. So don't taket it wrong way but are you virgin".
And in fact lead the conversation that i end up actually seeing there photo of the girl they first had sex with and hell some guy showed me photo he took mid sex.
My friend was blushing and got made fun of little and i am acting like i knew those random people on street for many months.

Good vid and channel, but I hadn't watched Sisyphus55 before lol.

 

[LinMeili]

It's not a fantasy, is it? I used to do that all the time when I went to college. ? We had philosophy class so it was natural.

Warning: I'm an old dummy, not a psychologist

Wanting to have deep conversations is the most normal thing in the world, especially if you're feeling particularly lonely. Your conversation partner being a man or a woman is irrelevant to that however. Having a deep conversation with the misses about our lives and our dreams feels no different than hanging out with a best friend(M) and we shoot the shit and talk about lives and our dreams. Everyone wants to feel validated and understood and to share their fears and ideas with the world in some manner. Everyone wants to connect with everyone else M or W. We're socially hardwired monkeys at the end of the day, though some of us like to pretend that we're not or that we're different.

However, if you're specifically connecting that desire to the half of the population that you're attracted to, there's something else at play here inside the lizard-brain, friend.
