Has anyone read Confused Man, I mean Confucius? Overall I don't like his philosophy, since he was hopelessly sexist, autocratic, and life denying. He made asians into drones that follow a hierarchy, preserved superstision and killed creativity. In English I call him confused man, but in Chinese I call him lao fu because it sounds like "loud fool."

Confucianism for the common rabble, Legalism for the life-affirming aristocracy, Taoism for the individualist æsthetic hippies.

For real tho, I'm trying to get into far eastern thought but been slow. Reading other stuff. I like Taoism, judging from my shite-tier studies, because I'm not strong and healthy enough to be a cool-arse royalty so I'd prefer to just sit around nature and look at the pretty mountains. I like the whole 'Dao' metaphysics as well.

OP, what do you think of Neo-Confucianism?

What is the closest there is to Nietzsche or Camus in all of far Eastern thought?

read up on Arianism, pls.

heresy that was condemned at Nicea that permeates itself thru Christian Liberalism and Secular Humanism alike.

you can kill an ideology's adherents but you can't kill an ideology itself, ipso facto.

Traditionalist Christianity has nothing whatsoever to do with that, and to imply that is a typical autheist making naked abstractions and universalist dialectics.

He was only trying to stop everyone from being nihilistic warlords. Your anachronistic reading suggests to me you don't know his work or history enough
