Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom

>Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom
-Aristotle

Is this true? How well do you know yourself Veeky Forums

Sounds gaytarded as shit. Name something you'd consider wise and then explain how you couldn't comprehend it without knowing yourself.

The knowing yourself expression seems vague. What is qualified as knowing yourself?

From my understanding, the quote means understanding how you interpret wisdom. Like having the blueprint before you build the house.

You're confusing knowledge for wisdom

You'll never know yourself. There is no self. Stop with this existential bull shit and just be.

I don't. I'm saying an understanding of the self is not a prerequisite for wisdom.

>just be yourself

woah

Aristotle BTFO

How will he ever recover?

>existential

wew lad

he never said that
also fuck you

The quote doesn't sound eccentric and original, therefore I don't like it

It is furthermore gaytarded as shit.

self is ego.

1st step. know your ego.
2nd step. lose your ego.

that's my wisdom, my ego's wisdom.

Being a wise guy isn't the same as being wise.

Less vacuously insisting on me not knowing what wisdom is, more responding to this:

>Name something you'd consider wise and then explain how you couldn't comprehend it without knowing yourself.

>just BEE yourself

>. Name something you'd consider wise
That's not how this works

Knowing when you're being hypocritical. When you call other people crazy you have to remember the times when you are being just as crazy.
