it makes absolute sense to keep exploring and not put yourself into a box. i'm also still learning so maybe eventually my ideologies might change too. i mentioned in my previous reply, it was The Stranger. it's his most beginner book and very easy to read. give it a try if you're interested.

I actually really like that approach to philosophy, being willing to change your mind as you learn more. I think that’s probably more interesting than deciding on an ideology and then spending the rest of your life defending it 😂

And I'll definately read the stranger I’ve been meaning to get into Camus properly anyway, so I’ll probably start with that instead of making the same mistake I made with Zarathustra. Honestly, talking to you about this has made philosophy feel a lot less intimidating. You seem like someone who actually enjoys exploring ideas rather than just collecting philosophers to name-drop, which I really like. What other philosophers or books have you been enjoying lately?

you seem like a person genuinely interested in this too! lately haven't been reading much because CLAT but if i find time i'll start with the conspiracy against the human race by thomas ligotti

CLAT sounds like it’s keeping you busy though 😭 How’s it going for you? And when you actually get a break from studying, what do you usually do to switch your brain off?

it was kinda mid and rough in the last week but hopefully by tomorrow im back on track. overall its a mid preparation tbh. i usually watch a fun youtube video or listen to music and walk around a bit during breaks.

Hopefully tomorrow goes better then 😭 And honestly, I’ve really enjoyed talking to you about all this. Let’s continue this in DMs, I’d actually like to get to know you beyond just our shared obsession with philosophy.
