    I wasn't one of those smarmy wannabe intellectuals though who hold extremely low-level philosophy in too high of regards; like morons who hear about "Cogito Ergo Sum" for the first time and suddenly think they're geniuses who know Latin and have privileged access to some kind of high-brow philosophy; when honestly I think that every 8 year old with a curious mind has thought about Cartesian doubt at one point or another.

    I tried to take a crack at the most complex and meaningful philosophy I could find.
    By far the most technical philosophy is the philosophy of language and philology; like Chomsky or Derrida.. it'll knock you on your ass

    or people who have heard of nietzsche and nihilism and don't realise that is just an infantile self defeating version of existentialism and is popular only really with 17 year old boys and not with anyone who has actually studied philosphy widely and deeply, it's like an elementary child's version of existentialism and is handed out so that immature minds have something to relate to but it does not have the depth and capacity to really stretch a person's mind or intellect into places it does not already know.
