asians
asians
asians

were the first to philosophize
unorganized confused sh-t
like confucious or the fat giggling buddhist
who said life is suffering and through the centuries
suffering is all asians did but in greece

intellectual chimpanzees were putting things in order
thales put his banana down and said everything is water
which is dumb but to tie it all together is what he tried
it’s not watered its fire said the n-gga heracl-tus

and that’s the kind of sh-t
that occupied the athen nation
tying everything together
its called integration

pythagoras said everything is numbers and a theorem
but there’s more to life than numbers so no one wanted to hear ’em

zeno said there’s no such thing as change
(he got rekt)
but we know he invented the debate or dialectic
when there was democracy there was democritus
he was wrong about some sh-t
but they still they called him dad of science

does the end justify the means
thrasymachus said yeah
but tell that to someone dying for some else’s idea
and that’s the fate of socrates
convicted for corrupting little boys
and for democracy, he drank f-cking poison

the boys in socrate’s cl-ss were mostly fake and g-y though
but the first to build a system of philosophy was plato/playdough
he said this world isn’t real
but there’s a world of forms
where everything is perfect
he was f-cking wrong

but they thought he was right
so his work was taught and saved
ironically which led the west back into a cave
but he paved the way for his student
with the system model
just the realest n-gga ever to exist
aristotle

he wanted explanation for the sh-t plato told him
and he wrote it all down pwn’d plate like a clown
all the bullsh-t plato said
stotle asked how
his metaphysics still hurts
plato’s -ss now

aristotle wasn’t perfect but he gave us laws of logic
which gave us sh-t like playstation 1’s and apple watches
all the cool sh-t you got thank aristotle’s mother
which is more than anybody did back when the words were uttered

n0body gave a f-ck
yeah f-ck what he was saying
they was busy eating gyros
wrestling naked being g-y

like epicurus told ’em avoid all pain
the stoics were like nah to much pleasure is vain
they said be serious focus on what you’re doing
but they also pushed away the happines worth pursuing

and the skeptics
ancient neck beard mgtow’s
they said you can’t know sh-t
wrong then g-y now

as time p-ssed plato’s influence increased
philo brought him to the jews
enter christianity
augustine cemented plato to the west in written pages
placing faith over reason bringing in the dark ages

and poor aristotle dismissed in his day
no one gave a f-ck about his jam and it was cast away
and his f-ckin name forgotten by a world that sh-t on him
until he was discovered by….a muslim?

al-ma’mun translated him from greek
and began a golden era when religion let you think
but reason was rejected by this guy al-ghazali
which is probably why today islam is not to f-cking jolly

he decided tryna mix faith and reason was r-t-rded
so he threw the precious work of aristotle in the garbage
the enlightenment of the arabs was over and departed
but in europe tom aquinas was like i’m just getting started

he learned of aristotle from this jewish guy maimonides
and he got it from a mooslam averroes
if ever these three religions found common ground
it’s in placing reason over faith living hear and now

the sound of reason cut the silence of the middle ages
as pages filled with logic scrutinizing god himself
and the changes made some clergy nervous but it was too late
because the dumbest sh-t they ever did was the let the artist paint

human beauty was depicted love and s-x celebrated
life on earth is the standard heaven could wait and sh-t
and though christ was the one being painted
religion didn’t know it was being de-fanged and sh-t

that was the renaissance then came the enlightenment
the other greek philosophers were studied with excitement
now the truth could be discovered by no other means than reason
but then sh-t got more divided than the south and north koreans

a group of new philosophers one of whom was locke
said you can’t trust your mind but your senses and your c-ck
know reality so don’t thank too much you little b-tch
the philosophers who said this are called empiricists

on the other side of this dichotomy of mind and body
descartes and all his n-ggas said your senses could be naughty
you could only trust your mind to know what is and isn’t
this school of philosophy is rationalism

that’s when philosophy became a sh-t storm
scientists no longer thought philosophy was for ’em
it didn’t help philosophy to spare itself the damage
when rousseau was talking bout how true n0bility is savage

philosophers of body vs philosophers of mind
all misguided but the truth is that the truth they tried to find
see they all respected reason they each wanted to have it
but then kant said reason, reason is a f-ggot

he modernised plato’s world of forms from before
causing reason and reality its’self to go to war
he tried to fix the mind and body split but only made it bigger
cuz reality requires you to reason my n-gga

now that reality and reason were divorced
everyone had to pick one at f-ck whatever cost
trying to understand the world became a f-cking headache
hegel said reality and logic are synthetic

marx pushed reason even farther away
in fact, he said reality depends on how close you’re to a factory
if philosophy ended the age of darkness
it was now layin’ the blueprints for r-t-rded sh-t

nietzsche loved power and strength
but it’s not reaching or a stretch saying he inspired n-z-s
superman’s something that nietzsche gave us
but too bad he saw people as masters and slaves

who were free now in america land of thomas pain
who brought over the enlightenment from europe he explained
the right of man is to be free because that’s his f-cking nature
when the germans came no one saw the f-cking danger

royce and his boys turned to hegel for the basics
dewey said your mind doesn’t learn sh-t it creates it
students went to germany brought sh-t back and spread it
which is why today’s smartest post r-t-rded sh-t on reddit

no reason to reason now that nothing could be known
pragmatism said take action and follow your emotions
kids trained to have coherence of a mental patient
this was the birth of progressive education

integration no longer required
postmodernism said that your mind could retire
religion made a comeback tribalism too
cuz without reason there’s just feelings and the group

without philosophy scientists, can’t resist oriental mystics
claiming their sh-t is legit
recycled anti-rationals repeating the same motions
alleged men of science invoking their emotions

john rawls said we all should be the same social justice is morality
philosophy became a game of bullsh-t and semantics that no one understands
and n0body gives a f-ck about except for ayn rand

the last of the enlightenment she tied mind and body and reality to reason
which is great except n0body intellectual would give a f-ck
professors wouldn’t budge
they must have their reasons but history will judge
