Too many of you are at the early stages. You have no idea.

Simply don't read about modern age idealism. It's that easy.

Our highest insights must – and should – sound like follies and sometimes like crimes when they are heard without permission by those who are not predisposed and predestined for them

You forgot the stage after the nihilism black pill is that you bash your head against the wall and trick yourself into believing in god again.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8u3P7Xqlvo

Honestly, philosophy can be boiled down to the circle jerking of repackaged concepts and ideas that are truncated forms of phenomenological experiences. It's the taco bell of ideas, which one are you going to order, the crunchwrap supreme or the mexican pizza? I'm making myself hungry just thinking about it.

Wrong causality. You are not depressed because you do philosophy. You are a lonely depressed loser in the first place and that's why you desperately try to find meaning in philosophy and why you have too much time to waste with philosophy. Keep coping.

I don't care about philosophy
I learn things not out of a desire to use my knowledge but simply because I want to learn

Philosophy turns into theism in the last phase. You realize that you cannot be an atheist in Abrahamic sense unironically. You want to choose something eventually.

As someone who's writing philosophy, I'll tell you the hard fact.If your philosophical questioning doesn't directly trace back to childhood curiosity ("why phase") then you're not qualified to do philosophy. To be a philosopher, you shouldn't even have to read philosophy to interrogate your philosophical positions and worldview. You should be able to open your eyes, take a look at your own subjective life as it is and make conclusions from there. Nobody who starts with a more conventional worldview and then gets influenced by some fucking book is actually going to advance the search for truth. If you have the unchecked assumption that big names, professionals and supposed geniuses know better than you and can think for you, that's a good sign you're not qualified to pursue philosophy.>I want to know whether to believe in god!
What's god? Why should you pursue the question? Shouldn't you have solid epistemological and ontological foundations first before pursuing those socially contrived issues? How do you understand your mind and senses and why?
>I want to find my ideology and get Xpilled!
So you want to find ideal objectives for people and leaders in society? What's an ideal objective? What things are good, bad or neutral and why? How does that relate directly to your basic ontological positions?
>I just want to be happy, bro!
Drink some water then, nigger. Almost all happy people are not intellectual at all. Truth is sacred; pursue it with honest intentions.
>I want to know stuff and be smart and impress people!
Are you repulsed by the idea of dying without knowing the truth? Would you still need to know if you were incapable of communicating anything intellectual of substance? If not, just get a job.
>I fucking love philosophy!
Academic disciplines are concepts cobbled together for convenience. There's no such thing as science, art, mathematics, basket-weaving. There's only one subject and the word "philosophy" doesn't do it justice. It's just a sound you make with your mouth. One subject, one life, one reality. Blink and you'll see it. Blink and you'll miss it. If you stop and forget everything you know, this principle is immediately self-evident.To be philosophically minded, you have to have a persistent conceptual perception of opacity in belief, be axiomatically prepared to question and compare interpretations of any entity. Even if you want to go about rejecting it, you should at least be able to learn formal logic and identify fallacies without knowing about them first, otherwise whatever verbal capacity you have is handicapped, perhaps more fit for poetry.

It peaks in picrel, which means it's never started to begin with. A full back circle unless you're willing to quantify the amount, now it's about how many circles you can do, which is transfiguring your thought into a higher dimension essentially.
f(x) = I*t*y where I is your intelligence (a constant), t is time and y is your knowledge and understanding, Logos. Once f(x) reaches a certain threshold where f(x) > X, it loops back on itself; f(f(x)) = I*t*y(I*t*y) branching into infinity.There is no theoretical "end", no bottom of the cup, no theism or God waiting for you like many midwits like you to believe, it's a never ending journey of doubt and mystery.

Just be a schizo-autist that has the correct broad ideas about everything and study the right material about the right aspects of everything and then make a new religion to solve all of the problems of modern industrial civilization that is a comprehensive worldview that explains everything.

Pursuing knowledge for some masochistic end is just as superficial as pursuing knowledge for self-help. Both mindsets desire knowledge not for its own sake, but to instead emulate whichever external mediator they admire.
