Anyone else never read books yet after learning about x philosopher and his ideas you realize you thought of the same thing and have created similar beliefs before reading a little about them?
Are humans really that stupid that the cant sit and think for themselves? We got a ton of time to think about ourselves, our nature, our impulses, the other people's behavior, their words and most importantly their actions.
Yet i keep seeing people reading books and only then changing and telling themselves they are better by adopting someone ELSE'S idea.
Since i was young i despised reading books, i had my own ideas and my own beliefs, why would i read someone ELSE'S thoughts and more importantly why would i get cucked by someone else's beliefs? I instead when i was bored i would think and create my beliefs based on my knowledge of human nature through careful analysis of my own nature through self awareness and later on through other people's behavior and that way i have created my own beliefs, not by reading books or listening to tv or anyone else.
And throughout life there were multiple times in image boards where i would say something and someone would mention certain things such as kelly's personal construct theory, marx striner's egoism, and when i googled them i realized i was saying similar or almost the same thing as these people or other ancient philosophers.
So after this, why should i not feel good for myself when i see i have a certain level of independence, at least compared to other people since you can never truly escape human nature, even if you try to be "free" by believing you have no ideology that very behavior exists to make you feel better and thus once again you are chained to human nature, even a self sacrifice is nothing more than a petty attempt to feel better about yourself, it isnt something magical or good.
And more importantly, why should i feel sympathy towards the billions of close minded, human nature controlled ignorant delusional morons with no self awareness who live blissful lives and cause problems to the word because their nature is in complete control?
