    Very hard for me to take this serious when it's coming from a private invite only subr*ddit dedicated to huffing Matt Christmann's farts. They might be right that we're too online and cliquey, but it's impossible for me to take that seriously when it's coming from the people in an invite only community that analyse the latest cushbomb video like it's some groundbreaking philosophy from Socrates or something. All the while treating the opinions of their favourite Brooklynite podcast host(s) that are easily earning more than six figures as if they're infallible.

    It makes their obsession with "grillpilling" extremely ironic when almost all their opinions are just basically taken verbatim from an internet podcast. These people should actually listen to Matt apparently says and log off, do something irl and/or read a book, and form their own opinions based on their lived experience or own analysis instead of getting some podcast host(s) to do it for them.

    Also love to see the username of someone that got banned for covid denial in the comments there. It's just

      Everyone should log off at some point every day, but not use that philosophy to be nihilists.

      i will say this as a matt fart sniffer I do feel using his detatchment methods has made me more sane, especially with how many struggle sessions the online left have constantly or twitter virtue signals. This doesn’t mean you write a 3 page diatribe but at best give them a nudge of hey is what you’re worried about helping you materially or is just an anxiety dump. i like it as a sort of self check up like hey is this where my energy is best used and if it isn’t how can I disengage 🤷‍♂️

      haha you do know those philosophers were part of the superstructure of Roman slave oligarchy? That's why every middle class white settler podcaster can't help themselves but obscure their own inherently fascistic class position despite LARPing as woke Stalinists

        Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it
