Philosophy is great, and I'm pretty sure that we can agree on that, but it is being misinterpreted by many. Now I'm nobody to talk, and you can go look at my replies to normal posts: they are braindead and make no sense; they are literally just signalling "I'm 14 and this is deep", but I feel as if I have been enlightened to what philosophy really is about. Today, I watched a lecture on the introduction to philosophy, and it was as if my third eye had been opened (in terms of what philosophy is actually about). The thing I learned from it is that philosophy isn't just sitting and thinking like I used to think it is; it's about seeking knowledge, through ways such as observation or using logic to come to conclusions, for the purpose of building better habits, habits that will further propel you to seek more knowledge for the same purpose, but, more importantly, making you feel a certain way. Philosophy is restricted to humans because only humans can build habits for the purpose of "feeling a certain way", as only humans have long-term emotions and the longing to feel joy. Meanwhile, animals only have instinct and don't have the drive to feel long lasting joy. Bottom line: philosophy is the ability to use natural reason, which is the ability to reason, or think logically, form conclusions, and make inferences, only given to humans (given to us by who? You decide, but I believe it's God) about objective truths, which WILL make us feel joy knowing how things work and what to do, without some divine or supernatural forces acting upon you. It is NOT asking what everything is or is made by/up of, and it is NOT trying to sound deep. Please tell me how I can improve in my understanding, if you want to. Otherwise, I'll get back to my lectures.

When you start to think everything starts to hurt. Philosphy is the practice of defining the properties which make up reality. In order to do this you have to break appart your current model of reality. When you wake up, you look at your bed and know that it is a bed, you look at your clock and knows it is a clock. Everything makes sense because reality as you percive it is in line with your cognitive model of what reality is. When you begin to question that cognitive model, you are forced to break your understanding apart, in effect your perception and cognitive model of reality are no longer in line, you end up in a painful position where you can’t trust anything or anyone for a while, before taking the old pieces and new pieces and constructing a new, larger one. Making you feel content for a while, before doing it again, bringing more suffering and confusion. This process takes up a ton of mentall energy and distracts you from your purpose as a human being in society. If you just accepted that you are ignorant and are content with it you could instead focus on contributing to your community and putting food on the table for your family. Bringing actuall happiness. To yourself and others. But today. Ignorance will bring you to suffering yourself and inflicting suffering on others, without question. All throughout human history, not much changed over the course of hundreds of years. Through that slow change, culture would be formed by what worked best in the enviorment. You understood what your purpose was, even as a child. You contribute to society at large by your proffesion which has been inhearited through generations, your proffesion would make you money or create something of value which can be traded which made you able to contribute to your family, have kids for yourself and continue the cycle. The ambitous ones had to suffer a lot in these times. But that is a choice made by someone that is strong and individual. It is not a forced position. Today. The world has changed so much in such a short time that there has been no time for a culture to be formed to survive and find happiness in it.

Today's car companies try to advertise self driving cars as the ultimate solution to car mortality, car traffic and many more negative aspects regarding the car industry. However, it certainly misses the main point of having a car for oneself. Any kind of car, including self-driving ones, is considerably inferior to trains, street cars and even busses in regards of transportation; environmentally, quantity wise(number of people being transported is a selected amount of time), and palpably less space efficient. Not only that, but cars are also a toy for many adults, being used simply for fun, for traveling wherever one wants without feeling restricted, as one might feel in a public transport. There is no reason for self-driving cars to exist, because they fundamentally remove the true freedom of movement achieved by it, and do not solve any of the problems the car companies claim to be solving. Because their intention is not to solve any of those listed problems. It is only to earn money. And by that way achieving obsolete control over what one can and cannot do, where and where not one can go, handing it, of course, to the government.

I have what was going right for such a long time, my routine. I was able to wake up at time with energy and sleep early, be able to do all my work and felt really productive, now I just wake up late, thinks my day will be better, then I waste it completely and its been 8pm already and I wake more till 1am until I knock myself to sleep with again the same belief that something will happen, and just 2 hours ago, I just broke down of what I have been doing.

my current social circle is pretty ass, i just realized that i kinda hang out with losers and just waste my time with them, how to get quality people that will push me forward and share the same goals, and how to generally have more quality people around me
