Personal philosophies? (Get in the boathouse and discuss)

[Jafooli]

So what's everyone's personal philosophy?

As for myself, I used to be a hard neutral nihilist but thankfully that got tiring now I lean into a more neutral form of stoicism, I do try to be the best I can be but don't go out of my way to engage with community. In the end logic and apathy rule me.

Fyi. This is just a random thread on philosophy, figure I can get some decent interaction. I'll try io interact but no guarantees

A dialectical materialist.
The universe, which has always existed and is not the creation of any supernatural being, is in the process of constant flux. Human beings are a part of nature, and evolved from lower forms of life. The human brain alone is capable of producing general ideas, i.e., thinking. Therefore matter, which existed eternally, existed and still exists independently of the mind and human beings. Things existed long before any awareness of them arose or could have arisen on the part of living organisms.
There is no consciousness apart from the living brain, which is part of a material body. A mind without a body is an absurdity. Matter is not a product of mind, but mind itself is the highest product of matter.
P.S. The theme is interesting, but I believe it belongs in the off-topic section, it is not related to the main topic of this site.

[bobsyouruncle1234]

I have none. I just do things.

 

[tyktamsyl]

You and me both, I think I am a nihilist. Not sure, but I know most of the time I don’t care about anything or everything feels pointless. However I also enjoy some things, so maybe it’s positive nihilism “so what if nothing matters”

 

[ツSisterSexualシ]

There are many, can't quote them all, (weird symbol limits lol), i got a full txt doc with my favorite citations/quotes, one of these is: don't worry about the global things that you may not have control over
personally, it made me less stressful lol,
and another one: don't give a damn about people who leaved you, by leaving they just made room for better ones to come

eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you may die.

Also, live in peace for the world have too much war.

I have few more but this can be fine for now

I dont have a label though.
I would say love the person around you. We never know if that person needs help or love at that very moment.

In group of friends, i also do talk alot with the unpopular person in the group, and i dont really put too much time towards the popular guy. Ngl, i hate people ostrasizing the unpopular person in the group, if he/she is in the group, why are you ostrasizing them? Putting them on a promising group that can at least not feeling lonely, but then pushing them away?
sorry, so much emotions are going through now hahaha

Anyways, yeah love everyone around you. you wont get the same treatment by the same people, but i do believe if you keep doing something right, ultimately it will come to you.

Absurdism, the universe has no meaning and we have no purpose. So enjoy life, stop and smell the flowers and make the most out of what you can.

 

[Malaficus]

My personal philosophie is that there is enough suffering in the world.
If i can make it a better place by doing what little good i can that is enough.

I seen where evil leads.
I hate evil.
I want to be good because i hate evil.
And doing good makes people happy and that is a good thing.

I see myself as a sinner that struggle's being good.
But by god i will be as good as i can be.
Even if for no other reason then i really hate evil.

#2 Duct tape cannot fix stupid, but it can silence the screams.

#3 mind the blast radius, when the stupid starts hurting.

 

[springer]

If you’re not hurting anyone, then you’re not doing anything wrong. Likewise, if someone else does something that you don’t like, but it doesn’t affect you, then ignore it. I think the world would be a better place if everyone just minded their own business.

Don't be a dick to others. You have my respect until given reason to rescind it.

Damn,,, 1 hell of a question ,, and 1 hell of a task to sum up in just a comment with a few words.
I'm not a philosophies guy.
I'm a Logic, facts, science and numbers guy. That also means i say how it is.
I hold those above all, So philosophies that fall in with that,, all good with me.
Speaking In general and in terms of people and deeper meaning of life... it is about a way of living for yourself, the ones you care for and survival.
May that be individual survival depending on the situation, or as a whole species.
You will do and you do all you can. For the people around you that matter to you, strangers as well, if it doesn't threaten my way of living or my life.
It's a risk calculation,, I won't endanger/get killed to save a stranger. Not my task. So no,, not stepping in-front of a bus to push someone out of it's way and getting hit/killed myself.
Then who is gonna look out for the ones i care about. Hell i recycle even for the chance it will make a difference for the young generation/ones i care for.

As a species will are going to have to make some decisions now and in the future.
We can't just keep saving the cute endangered animals and leaving the rest to die. That won't end well for us as a species.
Specially if we keep going the way we are now. All things will end up on a judging scale at some point, Food, Fun or fuck it and die you have no use to us.
Vegetarians and their feelings for the animals sounds great,,,, but we are still eating them and we still need to. Being a vegetarian is not healthy for you in the long run.
Seeing the world and the changes it is going through we are at a crossroads and the options/solutions are few if we are speaking survival as a species wise in the future.
Time will tell what will happen there,, and i won't live that long to really see what happens when the shit hits the fan... or at least i hope so .
Would really suck if that happened soon,,, and if it does i hope it will be at least on a monday. Would suck even more if it happened just before the weekend.

The deeper meaning of life is simple if you use facts and logic.
Out of all the things that could happen with the infinite possibilities and ongoing processes in the universe it was a 100% change of life happening and evolving somewhere.
So far, all we know is it happened here and is still in the ongoing evolving process. Chances of it happening again and that it happened before,, also 100%.
Billions and billions of years,,, and Billions to some say trillions to go with endless possibilities and we exist in the blink of a eye compared to that and are not even a spec of dust on that scale as a planet.

I could go on ,,, but lets be real,, half of you didn't even finish what i wrote so far .
So here ends my 2 cents.

Lol, I read the first paragraph and then skimmed to your final paragraph and got a laugh

I don't know philosophy, but politically I like libertarian ideas. I would like traditional relationships later in life. Right now I don't have anything to offer.

Damn it, I read the last couple of lines and was contractually obligated to go back and read the rest. Curses!

i like to consider myself ethical hedonist after hearing about it and thought yeah that one is nice and is the best one i have encountered so far. plus i wanna enjoy life but i also respect other people and their chance at enjoying life.
If you wanna say philosophical for point of life? biologically is to procreate but otherwise there is none so we can find our own reason for living such as enjoying life with people who enjoy having you and whom you enjoy having around!
and fucking their holes too

 

[Spammy]

My personal philosophy is: never compare yourself with others. Instead, compare yourself with yourself in the past. How were you 5 years ago? How are you today? For me personally, the answer has always been positive.
