I was there at the dawn of New Western Philosophy, along with Plato, and the we have now, truly carved out two different trends in philosophy, which will dominate the rest up until now.
Plato was a very aspiring to the universal, absolute, which he thought resided in the world of the forms. I am the more grounded figure who is looking at how to live from the lens of an imperfect and often by necessity, imprecise knowledge of the good and of the human condition.
I am pioneering a way of doing philosophy of which sort to bring as much rigour as possible to the subject, but not more than the subject matter would allow.
I am Sean Goonan.
This is The Foundation for Exploration.
You will know me by my trip, from now on. All else are pale imitators, grasping for my charisma. They shall not have it.
I will answer your questions this Christmas. Bring them forth.
Not actually Goon, not angry and sensitive enough.

It answers the question of human happiness, It dismantles postmodern culture as well yes.

You're certainly not Plato tier. You lack the subtlety and intellectual penetration of a Plato. At bottom, a mere product of the modern enlightenment, but without any of the knowledge of the fundamental problems that the enlightenment thinkers had to drive them to their solutions. Sub-philosophical at best.
Josiah Gutierrez
Stick to your script, shill. You think derailing my thread is moral? You think you have the moral high ground here? Kill yourself loser.

Yeah, I do. I have no script, you keep impyling I disagree with. You keep calling me a shill so you can create a false narrative of my being.
user, you just took off your trip so you could post without your name. And that implies much more.
Stop projecting.

I admired all of those who proved my ignorance

Be scared. You're realizing I think faster than you, huh? I'm sitting here, smiling to myself. Be afraid.
Charles Cooper
That book is the exact product of somebody who has done no research and unwittingly replicates the basest, most vulgar dominate ideology of America today. It’s a dense distillation of every common cliche that people who think they have shit ‘figured out’ has. I’m honestly surprised it didn’t say ‘social liberal, fiscally conservative’.

“No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.” ―Plato
I'm envious of Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche. Not some Icycalm copycat.
Jayden Taylor
Writing a book with no references/citations doesn’t make you sound smart, it makes it look like an extended forum post. Even Plato makes reference to the thought of others.
Lucas Miller
A jungle of the greenest envy. Like the Emerald City in Oz. Pathetic. I'm literally smiling so hard my face hurts. If you only worked a little (let's be serious, much much harder) we could maybe have a discussion.
Nicholas Williams
Plato didn't say that.
Luke Wood
If I were to suppose you were to think faster, I'd think it would be in the sense of thinking in unmerited leaps of baseless speculation and fancy. Certainly you don't think with any speed needful to the things being thought about, or with the 'lento' appropriate to a philosopher who recognizes the limited need for philology.
Sebastian Campbell
It's called being an original thinker. How mad are your masters right now as I destroy their script line by line?

Which dialogue did this come from? You know, since I figure you must know with the breadth of reading material under your belt. Couldn't possibly just have lazily pilfered it from social media like the kind of pathetic degenerate you complain about, right?
