are experiences in virtual reality and fantasy just as fulfilling and real as IRL?

I think so. fellow NEET here who thinks my fellow vietnamese basket weavers are my only real friends. oh god that feels sad to write but I think its just the societal pressure of >tfw no gf

I am happiest shitposting here. IRL people make me sad. saw a horse float accident today. the horse was fucked. I felt better than I have all week.

I have the republic by Plato and it's 400+ pages. 160 analysis alone. When will I possibly find the time to read it all? The analysis is not in form of a dialogue

Bruh, if the Republic has got you worked up Kant will straight up rape you.

As /lit/'s standard analytic I'd recommend you don't give the Greeks undue emphasis.

you could always join a book club or literary meetup group and meet other people

kant is super easy.
obey authority, especially your local priest. because he is a wizard. that's all you need to know.

he's just overly popular because well, richfags like to propagate "philosophy" as being anything that keeps peasants in line. swords into plowshares type shit.

Have you even read the CPR?

>I have no friends, but until now I have enjoyed reading philosophy and discussing it online.
Same boat.
I know that feel, the companionship that great literature gives you when you know that not academic, economic, or social reward will come from it.
as gramsci said in his books, from the jail (for justifying the pointlessness of his readings) "I do it in order to not become ugly"
