Veeky Forums, you're the least stupid board on Veeky Forums, so you're the only ones we can hope for some good attention from. (Sci isn't bad as a whole, but they would be for this). Since there didn't seem to be a relatively casual one, we wanted to make a philosophy room on discord. And by philosophy, we don't mean stoner philosophy, but somewhere to actually discuss academic philosophy with other people who are somewhat knowledgeable in it
So if you want, we're looking for philosophy oriented people for our discord. Anyone else can come too, but that's what we're explicitly looking for more of.
Yeah. Stoners calling being blazed "philosophy" is something you always have to be on the lookout for.

Don't ever address me like that again you chain-link fence-decorating miscreant.
Josiah Brown

Nicholas Hill
It looks tolerable, but you need more action on the philosophy channel. I'll hang around to see what happens.
Dylan Young
I think I'll check it out for the purpose of observing, since I'm not well read in philosophy but honestly I don't have high hopes for a philosophy discussion consisting of people from Veeky Forums
Connor Watson
To be fair, I'm not sure I do either. I'm just not sure where else to look.
Nathan Howard
Probably like, an independent philosophy forum or something, I don't know.
Jackson Ross
Do you ever think being high was the way it was meant to be?
In seriousity, though, what would you consider "stoner philosophy"? Is any idea you get while high not allowed at all?
James Lewis
>I don't have high hopes for a philosophy discussion consisting of people from Veeky Forums We're else are we to go? Goodreads?
Joseph Nelson
Veeky Forums isn't a smart board. half the people here don't know anything about basic calc or algebra
Joseph Watson
Neither do most philosophers.
Isaiah White
There's a meme in society of some kind of entrepreneurial post-capitalist industrial-scientific "productivity" thing, and they are expressing the meme because they are demi-conscious memebuoys floating on a slurry sea of currents you can only see if you zoom out It's exhausting even trying to give an answer to this question. You need to like phenomenologically bracket every single word and write a book explaining that they aren't even people. They aren't even conscious. They aren't even having "opinions". STEM people are like robots with human skin stretched over them. To say "they are dismissive of the humanities" is implicitly to admit I think there's a "they". STEM people don't even fucking exist. They are a statistical gaseous nebula of random particles wafting across continents and periodically expressing junk they picked up along the way. Why would you even talk to them? Talking to a STEMfag is literally like being some kind of Buddha, ascending reality, then coming back down and talking to bees who were dudes in past lives. I'm sure these bee niggas can be saved or whatever, but let's just wait until they're back in human form. Don't walk around going "BEES, STOP BUZZING, PUT DOWN THAT POLLEN, LISTEN TO ME ABOUT HOW EVERY CONCEPTUAL CATEGORY YOU HAVE FOR EVEN THINKING OF THINGS WAS SHAPED FOR YOU BY AN UNCONSCIOUS SLUDGE OF MEMETIC POLYALLOY THAT FLOWS IN PREDICTABLE CURRENTS FROM YEAR TO YEAR THROUGH THE HIVE IN WHICH YOU WERE CONCEIVED"
Jack Flores
This. Underage retards who trash the board like it's /b/ don't consider the fact there's no better place to discuss literature in the entire www.
Reddit, Goodreads and the likes are cancerous places full of plebs that unironically read Young Adult fiction. Also SJWs.
Literary blogs are a hive of bitter old guys who didn't make it & deliver their grandpa ratiocinations all day.
Websites for writers are the most incredibly vapid circlejerk you could think of.
Other languages have no serious platforms to discuss anything.
So basically the only big site left is Veeky Forums, and the only board is Veeky Forums. Pretty sad desu.
Isaac Sullivan
We're not saying that anyone involved in stoner philosophy isn't allowed. Its meant to be a casual room. What we mean is that we're not advertising as a philosophy room that actually just means stoners going "whoah, dude, we are the universe experiencing itself" but as one that actually contains people with experience with professional analytical philosophy / science / etc.
Mason Reed
I have more hopes for good conversation on Veeky Forums than in a chat client filled with channers.
Aiden Ramirez

Christopher Cox

Jordan Lewis

Brody Cook
Obviously people like you are excluded because you're determined to be stupid, but if you think there's anywhere else I can have decent conversation about authors outside of JK Rowling then you're wrong.
Carson Barnes
>enter chat >it's people posting shota porn
yea ok.
Jeremiah Rivera
That's every chat on discord though. I'm not sure what you expected.
Connor Wilson
>Veeky Forums chat >I bet there won't be porn.
Matthew Campbell
your post is a gaseous nebula.
Zachary Cook
Just proving the point that without rules to follow society falls apart
David Stewart
well i was expecting some semblance of "academic philosophy" as advertised in the op. unless shota porn is the next big philosophical movement.
Ian Green

Jonathan Smith
>implying not all big philosophers craved for boipussi
Adrian Walker
Literally, that was all that happened in ancient greece. Marcus Aurelius even bragged in the meditations that he was such a skilled stoic that he could refrain from fucking boipucci. He didn't specify whether he meant overall, or just at certain times. But the implication is that the call is overwhelming.
Oliver Hall
if thought exists, something exists. if something exists, the highest something exists. god is the highest something. if god exists, he created us. if god exists, he can destroy us. if god creates a something and doesn't destroy it, he loves it. matter can't be destroyed, we are matter.
thought exists, god exists, god loves us.
refute me.
Xavier Flores
You can't prove that
Eli James
i just did.
Aiden Jackson
>if thought exists, something exists.
tautological
>if something exists, the highest something exists.
doesn't follow.
>god is the highest something.
the fuck did that come from.
> if god exists, he created us.
doesn't follow.
>if god exists, he can destroy us.
arguable.
> if god creates a something and doesn't destroy it, he loves it.
for made up meanings of love, sure.
>matter can't be destroyed
it can.
>refute me.
i refute 8/8 m8
Jose Richardson
Look, what he said is obviously bullshit but how can you not follow?
>>if something exists, the highest something exists.
Obviously this makes sense. Unless you're trying to suggest that everything in reality is equal, one THING inherently has to be the best THING, even if only by a miniscule margin
Owen Brown
No love for us continental bros?

Jacob Gray
I think its more extreme continentals realizing that we do know real things about the world enough to make sense of it when they were insisting that we can't.
Jacob Roberts
that's not the same room though.
Joseph Johnson
Wow.
Hunter Martin
In all seriousness though, continental philosophy is barely philosophy. Existentialism is just bad literature combined with saying teleology isn't real. Congratulations, everyone knows that by now. Structuralism and poststructuralism is basically sociology, combined with excuses to ignore scientific findings they don't like by saying that scientists can't escape their biases. Ignoring that the same is true in the opposite direction for the poststructuralists themselves. Marxism is sociology that's outdated, but still has a few interesting aspects. There's very little of much serious worth.
Carter Ortiz
. . . Wow.
Luis Green
you should publish this post so everyone knows philosophy is done and they can go home now
Charles Bennett
Philosophy isn't done. Analytical philosophy still exists, working on real problems.
Robert Davis
lol
Andrew Parker
How will you handle things that don't fit the contemporary leftist narrative? Philosophy is filled with so called "hate facts" or "hate concepts"?
Will we be able to consider, debate, ponder on Schopenhauer's views on women, for example without the a group of white knights capitulating to the shrill screams of "misogyny, sexist, patriarchy" -- and having the entire discussions removed because of the inevitable--let's just call them social "science" student--demands/ crying/ whining?
I don't know what discord is, but I find no where is safe from this happening, no matter the subject. And one of philisopgies core tenets is a little something called "intellecual humility" which requires reaching across the isle and talking about things that might be perceived as icky or uncouth by some ideologues.
It only takes one feminazi mod given her position by a cuck to ruin the entire thing. Bitches are pro-saboteurs, this is why I stay on anonymous websites where identity politics hold no weight and you can't use your gender/sexual orientation/race as social currency.
Jackson Anderson
BRINGING THE HEAT.
Alexander Hughes
No, we don't have radical leftist mods if that's what you're asking. If a chat room didn't want to allow anthing but the far left it really wouldn't advertise on Veeky Forums.
Ayden Roberts
>2016 >doing math
Henry Walker
>wouldn't advertise on Veeky Forums You're sadly mistaken there, buddy.
Thomas Walker
Why? What radical leftists think that they can draw from Veeky Forums to get people?
Alexander Jackson
Do you know anything of the site's previous admin? Some of the boards on this site are havens for these types of people.
Kayden Bennett
Everyone advertises on Veeky Forums.
Josiah Nelson
Which boards?
Caleb Wood
/v/, /tv/, /co/, /pol/. Veeky Forums probably has some too.
I'm sure there's more.
Jackson King
I used to spam Veeky Forums for money. Got like minumum wage if people clicked my shitty links. But then the company shifted it from $1 per click to $0.25, so it became unprofitable.
Isaiah Thomas
/adv/, /lgbt/, Veeky Forums, and back in the day(and probably still the case today /cgl/ was HQ
Luis Baker
>/pol/ s a radical leftist board.
What.
Kayden Evans
I was talking about advertising.
Benjamin Scott
i'm a philosophy phd and i tried spamming about how i want to gas everyone but it didn't go too well
is there a Veeky Forums-specific discord
i want people who will agree with me about my esoteric opinions on gassing everyone
Alexander Lewis
What a weak, passive-aggressive attempt at getting a point across. Not only was the underhanded sarcasm unnecessarily catty you're conflating inane shit-posting(you yourself admit it's spam) with holding controversial views.
Ryder Fisher
Why would radical leftists want people from pol? They'd shit up their stuff. Unless they're hoping they'll be drowned out and thus convert.
Asher Moore
i don't know what you're taking issue with specifically, i'm just bantering not trying to be passive-aggressive
i am just honestly asking if there is a Veeky Forums version of this, with a higher ratio of people studying philosophy/literature
it wasn't really spam in terms of content
John Price
To convert people and to keep people from discussing anything.
Robert Jones
regards - t. Gymosophist
Christopher Thompson
They're doing a bad job.
Jonathan Moore
I'm pretty sure that holding openly ridiculous views is equivalent to shitposting.
Jonathan Mitchell
Who gets to decide what counts as reasonable though? I get that in this particular case its obvious trolling, but this sets a bad precedent for radical leftists who think other positions than their very specific formulation of social justice simply isn't worth even considering a real position.
Logan Ramirez
People not being retarded do.
Dylan Thompson
Is this a Veeky Forums room specifically?
Xavier Young
Yeah. I popped in, but I'm not sure what's going on in there.
Noah James
>I think this might work better as a general Veeky Forums room. Veeky Forums isn't really big enough to have a room all to itself.
Liam Rogers
Hey I'm a STEMfag and having experienced it firsthand...I actually agree for the most part. I'd like to think of me as an outlier but who knows?
Andrew Walker
>STEM people don't even fucking exist. They are a statistical gaseous nebula of random particles wafting across continents and periodically expressing junk they picked up along the way. Why would you even talk to them?
This sounds ironically, like what a stemfag would say.
Carson Wood
The discord at least is contained within other parts. Sure some cross overs happen now and then, but hey, its early days. We just wanna establish a base of people then begin discussions on the regular. The hope and goal is for it all to be self regulating but that requires enough interest. Theres a few plans in place for later and one guy earlier mentioned of a group watch/read along in which we all comment on afterwards and in my personal opinion is a pretty cool idea to be done once every week or so. And sure the discord has porn, but what do you expect? We have tags for that at least so it doesnt spill into other things People can discuss Diogines and post boypussy at the same time? Its a greek mans wet dream I see a goal for the discord and i think we can get there And honestly, its been nice talkin to all the people over the last few days ive been there
Samuel Bennett
memeing and countermemeing are the final peak of analytical philosophy. In a few decades all this nonsense will go back in limbo.
James Lopez
We already have a Veeky Forums discord discord.gg/bdfhZ I bet you faggots can't even handle Chiller

Owen Jenkins
>Veeky Forums, you're the least stupid board on Veeky Forums is this a joke? hell, /diy/ is more useful than Veeky Forums. this board is autistic as /tv/ but with the extremity of upholding their own opinions as /co/. honestly, this board gets waaaay to much recognition just because of their bullshit jargon and widespread knowledge of thinkers
Carson Perry
Maybe try contributing to it instead of adding to the cancer then, retard.
Connor Turner
>shitposting about shitposting isn't shiposting.

There is nothing about something that would lead one to conclude it would have a "highest" point, level, or whatever.
