ANNOUNCEMENT: Living Philosophy Will Soon Be PAID
If you are reading this. You will not have to pay for the monthly membership and grandfathered in for the standard tier FOREVER. I plan on turning the community into a paid one in 30-60 days. With that, includes more content available for standard members. We will be rotating between one module every month accessible for standard members. The following month afterwards will introduce a new module and restrict the previous module. Please pick what module you would like to view first. Standard members will never have access to all modules at once unless you become a premium member. Standard members will have access to only one module at all times.

This place is retarded
I came in expecting people who actually care about what Mr Ramboh talks about, people trying to build something, get better, move with intention. Instead, it’s like I walked into a daycare for grown adults. Half the people here can’t put together a coherent sentence, but somehow have the confidence to ask the most retarded questions like they just discovered thinking yesterday. And the rest? Elite squad of loser nerds hosting philosophy TED Talks, debating the meaning of life like it’s a full-time job, instead of, you know, actually doing anything meaningful with theirs. No direction, no standards, no urgency. Just a whole lot of fucking static noise dressed up as “deep thinking.” Yeah… I think I’ve seen enough. Time to upgrade my tier, because this ain’t it. Thank you for understanding :)
what makes someone a philosopher?
I am gonna be completely honest i am not really "knowledgeable" in this subject but i tried to search about it online, online it read that philosophy is a "systematic study of general and fundamental questions concerning topics like existence, knowledge, mind, reason, language, and value." At least that is what wikipedia said. So that means that if someone questions knowledge ,mind ,reason ,language or value is a philosopher? I am kind of lost here. it just feels like "Philosopher" is a big title and giving this title to someone just because he asked "what is the reason of life?" seems a bit ridiculous to me, and i am not saying it out of ignorance or just trying to hate. I am genuinely trying to learn and kind of understand this subject. I learned from the introduction video that a philosopher isn't someone that just doesn't do anything all day and "thinks", so i feel like i am missing something, even now when checking online the meaning of a philosopher it gives that a "philosopher is a thinker who systematically studies profound questions regarding existence, knowledge, ethics, reason, and mind". but what exact studies can you do on questions that don't even have an exact answer to them? It sounds goofy because that is kind of how math and physics work if i am not wrong. But how more can you expand about questions like "Do we have free will?" or "is there a universal basis for morality?" because those questions are kind of opinion based at least in my personal opinion. (Just saying i took those questions from google and didn't think of em). I feel like the title philosopher gets thrown around too freely to be honest. So i am just trying to understand what is the difference between someone like Socrates and the average joe when they think about the exact same question? I guess that Socrates will probably have more "profound" or "better" answers, but why that makes Socrates a philosopher but that random dude not? or am i just missing something?
Help
How to stop thinking, I think too much and it interferes with my studies does anyone else have the same issue?
