EphemeralEternity: I actually stop listening tool because of 2 reasons: I get bored of waiting another album and listening the same albums over and over again, and secondly, I hate their fanbase because they believed that by listening their songs they understand the meaning of the universe and Jean Paul Sartre. FUCK THEM.

You want a song with existentialistic themes? LISTEN TO SOUNDGARDEN FOR FUCK'S SAKE

No, you are not cleverer than an average listener if you think that listening a song like schism makes you feel you are listening fucking king crimson.

One more thing: If you started reading Carl Jung because of forty six and 2, you are not interested in psychology, you are another idiot who just discovered the existence of Jung by listening to a song. Shame on you. Same for those who did the same with the police synchronicity.

Wowzers

lol i agree the profoundness of TOOLs lyrics/concepts gets overblown to ridiculous proportions by fans but you lost me with soundgarden.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

also i dont see anything wrong with discovering/researching abstract concepts through music. That's what got me interested in metaphysics, I don't know how else you'd really segue into it?

Album Rating: 4.5

I'd recommend you to listen most of soundgarden songs written from badmotorfinger onwards, Cornell explores existentialism in many songs like rusty cage, fell on black days and utilitarianism in overfloater.

@Eph Why are you trying to reason with cancer incarnate?

I guess I got lucky that my father almost had a degree in philosophy but he never finished it and he was the one who got me into the subject.

Im being a bit lenient because english isn't his first language and he's prob coming across as more blunt than he intends to be but i don't really follow his logic' here

eh researching in philosophy is like openning pandoras box - it poses more questions than it answers and can leave yo kinda despairing and empty. It depends how you look at it though.

Noone will ever get anything out of philosophy if he understands it as a collection of answers to questions he has. You have to stop looking at it as something that you do to get answers and instead start looking at it as something that you do to get better at something, a sort of training. Philosophy is not a science, but an activity, as Kant said, and by practicing it, you are able to develop a sense of analyzing things and understanding them, leading to a different and more conscious approach in daily life. You don't amass knowledge by it, but you train your understanding of the world and other people.

"You want a song with existentialistic themes? LISTEN TO SOUNDGARDEN FOR FUCK'S SAKE"

I believe you mean existentialistical

i wouldn't even go as far as to say you acquire a better understanding of self, life etc so much as you explore some interesting possibilities and potentially alter your outlook

Well, you train dealing with other viewpoints and finding ways to refute them, you learn to pay close attention to what someone is implying and stuff like that. I know it might sound arrogant, but I do feel that studying philosophy (at university, 4 years now) has made me more intelligent/has made my thinking more efficient - if it gave me any answers about the universe or something like that, I don't think so, but that's a totally different thing. At the least, it can make you question your own viewpoints and behaviours and that's never a bad thing tbh
