Real philosophy is systematic. Build solid arguments which start with foundations of reality. Follow the truth based on logical necessity to wherever it leads. Then try destroy what youve built to test if it’s really true or not. Let go of what gets destroyed, keep what remains.
This is also why there are many fake gurus but not very many philosophers. Real philosphy is hard. I dont recommend it for most people. Indeed, if you do it like I’m saying you’ll never be the same.
I recommend only using this sysstem for things which are not foundational to your reality like God, religion, etc. But use it for things which you need to have a good critical answer for like is x person a good friend, is this job good for me, should i study x course, and so on.
That way you dont shake the foundations of your reality.
It’s no joke to touch the bottom of existence. Trust me. And the abyss will swallow you whole if you’re not equppied to walk inside it.
I try my best to share whatever wisdom and treasure i find during my dives into the underworld – so you don’t have to. So please just make use of what I share. Think critically about it of course and adapt it to yourself – I am not perfect and want students not worshippers.
If howver the questions call to you and they won’t stop, then my method is the way to find the truth you’re seeking. Only please be sure to protect yourseld and remember your escape rope out of the abyss is the fact that we cannot know the full truth about the mysteries of existence. Find safety in that ignorance.
And be sure to share what you find, once youve tested it thoroughly to make sure its not inherently illogical, it doesnt contradict other necessary first principle truth eg i exist, and its good.
God bless us all.
