Literally any book. Think about it. Can you recite the plot of a book you haven't read? No? This proves that you're not the only senpai alive. It also proves that you are alice because you have to do something to aquire knowledge instead of it being handy to you because you're not real or whatever. Hope I helped.

fucking epic thread /b/ros

I fucking love this deep philosophical shit man

lets smoke a blunt and look at the stars dude

the sad thing is that there are people on this board who unironically think this sort of shit actually is deep and meaningful and it is what philosophy actually is and think they are smart for thinking it

That is what philosophy actually is you pretentious prick. Just because the field has become so advanced and thought through, with terms like nihilism, existentialism, absurdism, etc, doesnt mean the basic questions dont have merit.
The question OP was asking is the same line of thought that Descartes was on when he decided "I think therefore i am"
Thats definitely philosophy my friend.
I agree the whole "smoke a blunt and look at the stars" is a bit juvenile, but the greeks started with basic shit before there was formal philosophy. Maybe anaxamander was smoking a blunt looking at the stars when he had his thoughts
what youre saying is similar to saying algebra isnt math because we have calculus now.
Stop trying to make youself feel superior because you know more about this shit
