This would be a lot easier to get behind if it didn't push things to such extremes. Saying that life has similarities with squid game is one thing, but trying to claim that it is literally exactly the same loses me. It was genuinely difficult for me to continue reading when I got to "the condition of the human person surviving in the real world is different only in the respect that it is worse while masquerading as better".

Funny how quotes such as those come from people that live in enough comfort and luxury to be writing those sorts of meanderings.

Not working hard everyday makes you idle.

And you know the saying? An idle mind is a devil's workshop.

I always wonder what it is any of these folks do to make the world a better place that they think it should be. It’s really easy pointing all out all of the flaws in modern life. But what are they doing to make things better?

Yes you are right. We all most probably do if not we would not be talking about philosophy. We'd be sleeping or worrying about other things than philosophy.

But philosophy is about the love of wisdom yet your cognitive dissonance makes you unable to continue researching… that is not philosophy.

Losers vs losers. No class struggle. Same class trying to obliterate the other while the elite enjoy the spectacle
