>girlfriend
>philosophy
don't
Correct she’ll just end up becoming a feminist and leave you for a black man
>girlfriend becomes feminist and leaves for black guy after she googles Friedrich Nietzsche
its not even that, almost every woman (erroneously so) becomes a feminist after becoming interested in philosophy. there are rare exceptions to that rule as well, almost nonexistent.
>inb4 "its self-advocacy, chud"
no, its slave morality. and resentment.
you should talk to art hoes instead then. preferably visual art or music, skip performing and art historians.
So? Every chud becomes a Traditionalist(much to their detriment). What's wrong with that?
is this a real image? why doesnt my cat wear hats like this?
Sadly AI generated but I'm sure your cat could if she loves you enough

hi cat I know that you thought you would just wear a funny costume but this is cultural appropriation! please think of all the native Americans your people genocided before you decide to wear such an offensive outfit.
I apologize if I'm insulting your gf's intelligence, but without any other information this is the one I would pick. For an introduction to philosophy, the best thing is to shotgun blast a whole bunch of different concepts and see which ones she winds up taking actual interest in and building from there. There are plenty of good textbooks that fit this bill, but I imagine most people given a textbook and told to read it would just not do it.
This is a perfectly fine, digestible, "fun" starting point.

you don't.
there's a reason philosophy is dominated by men, it requires a logical mind.
continentals beg to differ
As does everyone else with whom I disagree
Pic related is modern philosophy with crystal clear writing. Same with the books by Bernardo Kastrup. Modern research has proven idealism to be true. Part of it is through NDEs. Indeed, NDEs are irrefutable proof of life after death, because anyone can have them if they come close to and survive death. And they are so undeniably real to those who have them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00ibBGZp7o
As this NDEr described their NDE:
>"I saw how life never ends. I remembered the process of reincarnation is endless, wonderful and truly eternal. I witnessed my own spiritual evolution and saw that I had existed long before this present incarnation (where I am now a male human). For me, watching the process of living life, after life, after life unfold, was mind-blowing! I undeniably observed that I had lived an innumerable amount of lives. My NDE clearly showed me that these bodies (we now inhabit) are not the first and only time we have existed! I saw that our soul and spirit is ancient! I also observed that there is no such thing as death."
And importantly, even dogmatic skeptics have this reaction, because the NDE convinces everyone:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist
So anyone would be convinced if they had an NDE, we already know this, no one's skepticism is unique. And the book in pic related is known to convince even hardened skeptics that there is an afterlife.
>muh brain chemistry
Neuroscientists are convinced by NDEs too. What do skeptics think they understand that neuroscientists do not?
>muh DMT causes it
Scientifically refuted already, and NDErs who have done DMT too say that the DMT experience, while alien and really cool and fun, was still underwhelming to the point of being a joke when compared to the NDE.
