>modernity is so fucked up, in part, because it took this fatcel and incel seriously
>both say obviously absurd things like "we cannot know if the sun will rise tomorrow," "you cannot ever say that anything caused anything else," "nothing is really true, there is only interpretations," or "I don't even exist bro, there is no I," and my favorite "nothing is good or bad, deep."

These are clearly false. Anyone who wants to say nothing is really bad should go prove it by putting their nuts in a blender and turning it on and then explain how having your nuts in a blender is really not bad but good.

How did people fall for this sophistry, especially when so many later forms seem to just layer on more and more absurdities like "words can never refer to anything" or "languages don't exist, but also people are just nexuses of language," only to conclude with: "and this is why you should do what I say!"

I read Laozi, Aristotle, Augustine, Boethius, or Shankara, and I think: "damn, that's pretty wise." I read the "great" moderns and it is almost always some sort of sophistry showing some absurdity must be true (bonus if it is self-refuting), or "and this is why we should just rut and binge eat and do whatever we want and real freedom is being like the most indulged toddler ever!!! Men can even become women if they feel like it. Freedom!"

What happened to make everyone lose their mind?
