How do I read philosophy without becoming a pretentious faggot?

Actually try to understand the work

WRONG.
It is not that reading philosophy leads to becoming a pretentious faggot.
It is that pretentious faggotry leads to reading philosophy.

This guy has the right idea
This guy is not smart

can't be helped at first
after a few months/years you'll calm down

Just keep it to yourself unless you are certain you understand it.

If you actually understand it, it will only make you more humble and more conscientious about making claims.

The undergrad Plebs are mostly taking it to sound smart, not the understand.

If you already a pretentious faggot then you will also be one after you have read philosophy. If you aren't, don't worry about it.

Don't talk to the slave caste.

>This guy is not smart
If you are so great at profilling people from their posts how couldn't you figure out I'm not a guy?

Are you a girl(male)?

joke's on you I've only read one philosopher and I'm not pretentious

>there is not an objective "bad"

>there is an objective objective

>there is a subjective objective

>there is a subjective

You actually read it. And you don't talk about it. And you are old enough/smart enough no longer to care about mind/body, free will/determinism, ethical prescriptivism.

No delete this thread and go read.

apply it instead of talking about it

how often do you find philosophy applicable irl?

Often.

...

You study another subject along with it so you can understand the limits of philosophical reasoning

Understand that a ancient philosophy was largely about understanding oneself and the world around him, and modern philosophy is justifying bitter and antisocial behavior.

>that look when you have given up on your childhood dream to become a ballet dancer and became a whore who gets fucked by niggers to earn a living

Bad is a subjective and universal judgement.

>concerned about becoming pretentious
