I mostly studied the ancient Greek philosophers

It’s rarely taught in hs.

I liked Homer, Aristotle, and socrates

Diogenes

Interesting. I attended a philosophy course for a year (literally the maximum time span you can attend it) and didnt really like it. It mostly was about the beginnings of Philosophy and some guys like Parmenides, Heraklit etc.

Philosophy was pretty glossed over when I was in HS

@Archer9 yes him too

It depends on the teacher.

Tbh it isnt that I am not interested but all those principles that we learned I kinda already thought about already.

Even though I did not agree 100% in any philosophy I like exploring the ideas

@Archer9 Ikr

Yeah Reaper, it’s not about finding a comfortable idea, but the need to understand what true.

I mean I am in my final year of lets say HS and I honestly think school is regarding real self development a waste of time. I hate going there but I need that final degree to go to university where I hope for a better environment.

Hs is a waste of time, whole structure of school is dumb.

And by self development I also mean gaining knowledge. I feel like a retard half of time because school doesnt teach you shit imho

I always felt the same way

The brain is overworked, by the time 4 the period comes, most students check out mentally.

School is designed to cater to the slowest kid in the room

If you are in the smarter half your day will consist in a lot of waiting

Should be 3 classes a day at most. One science, physical class and something else.

If I had a personal teacher I was comfy with and had appropriate material and could determine myself when to take breaks etc. I think I'd be like at least twice as fast in laerning than I am now in school.

@bearlyalive your probably right

That’s what wealthy folks use to do.

Kids had personal teachers and tutors.

@Archer9 I got the impression so many different kinds of classes/courses should be teached as one. Why in the world would you not concentrate philosophy, ethics and religion into one???

@Archer9 yea more than 3 a day and you cannot retain everything

Exactly.

Sadly I am not wealthy and maybe its even for the better. Teaches you to get shit done on your own.

You have the best teacher in the world: internet.

@bearlyalive yes I see many advantages to not being born with wealth

@Archer9 the best and the worst.

I agree

Just think if you were born with wealth your family pressuring you to get married could come with them holding a fat cheque over your head

And all that money would not change the fact you would be a slave

Fat inheritance and family name.

In my opinion wealthy (single) kids would never have the mentality of a true man/human. They for the most part are not learning what it means to stand up for your ideals, think critically etc. etc.

They’re learning power management

Family in my opinion doesnt mean shit and having that as the base of what your life is built on seems ridicolous to me.

@bearlyalive of you had a wealthy family it would probably be a bigger influence

Where I’m from@family matters.

For good and bad reasons.
