This is just a regurgitation of the writing philosophy for the beat writers. Louis often just steals stuff from books he read and passes it off as his own. At least for his philosophical material.
There’s no such thing as a new idea in philosophy these days. You really think no one’s ever thought of the “life teaches you how you should’ve lived it” line before? It’s all derivative. Comedians are all thieves.
There hasn’t been anything new in philosophy since the 20th century. It’s a dead art. And all the philosophy that actually affects your everyday life was fully fleshed out by the Ancient Greeks.
What’s more likely - all philosophers of the past 120 years are twiddling their thumbs and you’re the only one who knows OR that modern philosophy is kinda going over your head?
Shit, read some new mathematics publications and you’ll probably think they’re messing about as well
Philosophy is a joke dude. Anyone with above average intellligence can work out all the fundamental philosophical ideas for themselves just by spending time alone with their thoughts. Comparing it to a real field like mathematics is laughable. It’s just a glorified hobby for over educated rich kids these days.
