This is the sign of a closed, simple mind, one that cannot comprehend that it is in their best interest to read widely, think deeply, and then to come up with their personal ideas about existence. This is the best way to read philosophy. It is a map to human thought, not a set of rules to live by.

i love the bluntness of those opinions man!
calling people closed-minded and simple-minded ha ha ha ha
j'accuse
also, nice choice quotes
now, he said some horrible things about women, didn't he?
e.g.
Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.
haaaa haaa haaaaa. i do feel that way, i do, when it comes to comparing my wife's talents with kids vs mine. but i think it's because she's smarter and i'm stupider.
