Well, I can say this much: never discuss your philosophy on life and death with your doctor, because you'll need to find another doctor after they flip their shit and assume you're going to off yourself.

The cynicism of reality;

the full spectrum of self awareness;

the layers upon layers of conflicting correct perspectives;

an understanding of the duality of order and chaos;

the crippling nature of battling a skilled Platonic sophist;

unmasking sadism;

the constant internal revisionism of curiosity and self growth;

the abstractions of the philosopher must come at a cost, and one must ask what is the price of thought.
