A couple million dead and a few art girls picked up at parties.

The point of philosophy is to prepare yourself for death by contemplating the eternal mysteries.

Even if philosophy lead to science, that is not a good thing. Science gave birth to modernity and modernity is shit.

You can't argue that modernity is shit witbout philosophy.

What is that diagram suppose to mean?

WHEN a wise scholar hears the Tao,
He practises it diligently.
When a mediocre scholar hears the Tao,
He wavers between belief and unbelief.
When a worthless scholar hears the Tao,
He laughs boisterously at it.
But if such a one does not laugh at it,
The Tao would not be the Tao!

The wise men of old have truly said:

The bright Way looks dim.
The progressive Way looks retrograde.
The smooth Way looks rugged.
High Virtue looks like an abyss.
Great whiteness looks spotted.
Abundant Virtue looks deficient.
Established Virtue looks shabby.
Solid Virtue looks as though melted.
Great squareness has no corners.
Great talents ripen late.
Great sound is silent.
Great Form is shapeless.

The Tao is hidden and nameless;
Yet it alone knows how to render help and to fulfill.

...

Has philosophy achieved anything? No.
Has art achieved anything? No.
Have the viewers of the aforementioned used their understandings of the above to change the world and achieve things? Yes.

Absolute trash desu
