ok this is just going to be me rambling because im talking to phantom abt philosophy and i have a lot of thoughts
so i fucking hate the idea that nothing is real. i despise the idea that reality is only within our minds and that nothing is truly real and that we are the only things that exist. its stupid!!!!!! i dont understand how someone can be so self important and believe the world is their own creation.
its also stupid because it rejects our own agency and can be a a way to explain away mistakes and shit like that. if nothing is real then that wasnt really u that stole that car or whatever. god made u do it. its dumb!!
were real were here our experiences are real
we all live in our own truth we all live in our own philosphies! trying to push a singlular philosophy as the one truth is fucking stupid because your own belief system is based so heavily in your own experiences that it cannot contain everything in the world! i am a optimistic person. i believe that we should always focus on the positive and work towards a better future. i am a very determined person and i want to believe the best in people. that belief is shaped by my own past and other people who have lived different experiences might think im stupid for it!
every single eprson has a different outlook on life
there is no one truth

watching commentary videos about sexual revolutions and how teenagers interact with social media is so strange to me. i was raised fairly gender neutral and wasn’t allowed to Touch social media until i was 14. i know nothing about so many things that some people my age have dedicated their lives to. strange window to be looking through

sam that second paragraph was fucking beautiful i have so many feelings abput art and you put them into words,,,,so well
sick uhhhh who are some of your fav philosophers/philosophies? what do you like about them? i dont know much abt philosophy but it fascinates me just as much as religion lol. oh and speaking of which, why do you think so many people are religious? what do you think of religious people as far as the meaning of life and how they choose to live it goes? i see a lot of people call religious ppl deluded and other stupid shit, but tbh i think peoples reasons for belief are much more complex and oftentimes very much backed by philosphy
so my favorite philosopher is campbell which comes as a suprise to nobody lmao ive rambeled about his wrok so much. the concept of all different aspects telling practically the same stories despite having ltitle to no communication is such a cool thing to be and i am constantly thinking about it.
i think so many people are religious because this world is confusing and nonsensical and people want order and a belief system. religion can also bring a sense of purpose to a world where almost anything you do is volantary and it also bring a strong sense of community! one of the only things i miss about the church is the friends i made there
i personally believe the meaning of life is to create, and im not sure of that lines up with any religion? idk i used to be catholic so thats basically the only religion im sorta knowledgeable out. I also think a big part about the meaning of life is that its different for everyone. personally i find solace and release in the creation and consumption of art, but i have friends who feel the opposite! i think thats the beauty of life, it can be whatever you want it to be and i think following a religion/dedicating your life to it is juft following your own chosen path!
as someone with a very complex relationship with spiratuality i 100% see what u mean with beliefs being complicated. i think its a base desire to not be alone in the world if that makes sense? people want connection and belonging and also to be a part of something bigger than themselves. faith can give all of that! also the alternative is believeing that there is nothing waiting after this life and that there is no meaning to anything we do, which sucks lmao

i want to share the oldest and most recent quote because i think its funny how similar they are 
first one is “A dream is a cowardly thought” from local 58 ep real sleep
and the most recent is “You’re gonna die screaming but you won’t be heard” from buffy the vampire slayer ep hush
a lot of the quotes are really emotional or philosophical, btu damn do i love spooky and spooky adjacent stuff
starting to collect quotes and lyrics i like was the best decision i ever made tbh. as someone who reads constantly its nice to wrote down bits of prose that stick out. and i think that reading what quotes really connect to people says a lot about them!
