Why is Kant so fucking overrated?
His "categorical imperative" is literally the simplest form of ethics and only appeals to little children. And his redefinition of the word "noumenon" is merely a repetition of platonic forms.

The Zero is the simplest thing ever and yet one of the most brilliant mathematic advances.
Most philosophers are overrated
Because Humefags still can't get over him
It doesn't even apply to children.
If morals are necessity without condition, that means you're always being moral. People do things which morally conflict, and therefore aren't always being moral. Ergo, morals are not a necessity without condition. QED. Even a child knows you can lie. Since you can, it's not a necessity to tell the truth.
Imagine if someone said that it was necessary to stop every time you saw a stop sign; Kant sees people run the stop sign and says "that couldn't have happened!". He's fucking retarded.

because people understand that speculations are sterile, but they still cling to them, so they invent the concept of ''thought experiment'' where this is time is OK to speculate and be paid for it.

My main problem with Kant is that his method of determining moral actions essentially boils down to a form of Utilitarianism
