When Philosophy Gets Weird (And Beautiful)

When you think about it, philosophy is pretty weird. At the end of the day, it’s just people, sometimes brilliant, sometimes bizarre, trying to make sense of the immeasurable parts of our world: morality, meaning, free will. things like that.

There’s no right or wrong answer, just different schools of thought and deeply held beliefs. I mean, think about it, Diogenes and Plato were alive at the same time. This lack of objectivity, combined with the absurdity of the internet, has produced some of the most unhinged philosophy takes you’ll ever see.
