I tried to read some, but it seemed so annoying and bro try hard that it was more confusing than I assume reading the original text is.<p>I asked ChatGPT to summarize one of the subjects and I find this much more readable and insightful.<p><a href="https://imgur.com/S0R40Jh" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/S0R40Jh</a>
I prefer when people engage with philosophy seriously. Trying to couch philosophical ideas in this sort of frivolous language falsely implies that you can understand them without dedicated effort. The language of philosophy isn't the hard part if your doing it right.

I love the style to pieces, but I stopped reading when on the very first page I tried I found something that was central to the post but plain wrong, namely the conflation of logical positivism with verificationism. That's totally incorrect history (and it was a post about history).
I read the article on Schopenhauer and Marcus Aurelius. Pretty amusing I have to admit, but a lot seems to be lost in the process. That is to say, you could come away with some wrong impressions of the subjects covered. At least as far as I understand them.
Though the Camus entry is essentially on point, it glosses over so many more interesting and worthwhile insights from him.<p>As a fun way to get people to see the value of philosophy I think it’s great, but I’d hope they would then learn more and see the nuances these great thinkers brought to these topics eventually.<p>Philosophical writing is often practically diametric to bro speak but hopefully that doesn’t mean most interested readers wouldn’t delve deeper.

The author of this site also co-created the game "Secret Hitler" with the makers of Cards Against Humanity. I'm personally not a fan of social deduction party games, but that one is pretty good as far as they go.
