i know philosophy is always seen as pretentious and boring, and some of it is, but we are SO privileged to have access to a written history dating back millennia of the pursuit of understanding humanity. the fact that we have wanted to understand what it means to be human so badly that we have been writing about our theories since the moment we created written language is a philosophy in and of itself. find what studies of thought you relate to the most! marxism, nihilism, absurdism, existentialism, feminism, whatever! find the beauty in thought!
philosophy does not always have to be 800 page books of some old dead white guys dense musings. plenty of novels cover philosophical issues, like piranesi by suzanna clark. reading philosophy, in my experience, helps expand your empathy and understanding of the human condition while helping you discover yourself as well. read with purpose! it's a magical thing.
please share your favorite philosophical texts you've read with me :) i'm always looking for new ones <3

In our time, when despair and nihilism are rampant, and the future appears only dimly like a hole through thick fog, Praxis is building a city. I have always been attracted to autistic totalizing visions, and brazen intellectual ambition. It is increasingly rare to imagine a specific, better future and to work toward it, and Praxis is doing that. They also have a journal, where they are publishing essays.

“QRI's goals are to develop a precise mathematical language for describing phenomenal experience; to understand the nature of emotional valence; and to develop technologies based on this research that improve people’s lives. It was founded in December 2018 by Andrés Gómez Emilsson, Mike Johnson and Romeo Stevens.”

Need I say more? You're falling for the government psyop to sedate the masses and so they'll put up with increasingly bleak standards of living, lies, etc.

Instagram blog of a 21-year-old Catholic autistic girl from Canada named Becky. She's addicting to watch and honestly, it's very feel-good content. She has a support dog named Moses, collects Pope memorabilia, is engaged. Her content ranges from Tiktok trends and GRWMs to sad montages of when she was an addict (I think to weed and alcohol?). Follow her.

This is my favorite podcast (but it is technically a radio show). I am a spotify user and have apple music just to hear this show. Hosted by Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig and painter Jake Longstreth.
Some of their favorite topics are corporate food history (guests like CEO of Dunkin), 1970s rock music (huge Dead heads), and comparing the top 5 songs today with the top 5 from a year in another era (50s-current day).
This show is a joy and a comfort and one of the only things holding me down sometimes.
