yes its a comedy but honestly I only found the actual humor halfway funny I was there for the plot and philosophical concepts. although ngl that is rlly not helpful. what helped me was taking a introduction to ethics and introduction to logic class but I understand not everybody has access to courses like that, so my suggestion is pick up a book or go on wikipedia and just start reading abt what aristotle was up to! I bought "introduction to aristotle" by this richard peter mckeon guy and it is def very wordy and pretentious but it is a nice resource. also looking up philosophy video essays abt media you like helps a lot!! (sorry if this doesn't make sense im kinda all over the place)

๐คlol stupid thing to recommend but specifically for philosophy I find it very helpful to follow imbedded links and see the web of philosophical terms spread and develop as you go. philosophy is so referential at times and it helps me to see things summarized and related directly. once I find a philosophical subset Iโm interested in I look at the literature concerned and delve deeper, there are so many free pdfs of philosophical texts online, bless up. you can start with what you know, โphilosophy of-โ will almost always yield something. my interest in philosophy started with modern philosophy and moved backwards in time, you might be different. honestly just get in there and have fun with it kid

I have next to zero knowledge in philosophy but it was interesting to see I had a spread across all the options.
Iโll be spending the rest of my afternoon reading about what their philosophies were. Also, first time hearing about โHumeโ the philosopher.

i made a tumblr web weaving type post abt this ages ago, but I was re-reminded of this topic when i saw this rec by @CHICKENONASTICK abt how we are the universe experiencing itself. since you cannot re-rec a post with an image i wanted to bring attention to this brennan lee mulligan quote that i feel is applicable:
