(Background music) To be frank, my life so far was very unique and probably beyond average comprehension. I saved people, I rose to power as a power-hungry dictator and lead divisions, I acted as a guard for my mother, and I found love through all of my eccentric history. In my former madness, I set out to rectify the world, only to get caught and have my insanity treated properly. For years I was afraid of being normal. I sought to be something more than normal because I wanted to fight the nihilism that comes with normalcy. I sought revenge against a person I once loved so I resumed my mad work on this site and helped many people to prove my relevance... Mainly to myself. I am no longer power hungry. I am no longer mad, and most importantly, I no longer seek to be something more than normal. At this point, I just want to be a normal individual, living a normal, although ascetic, life. I no longer seek to be a great philosopher, or a mighty conqueror, or a rectifier of the world. Being finally and properly treated for my madness and suffering, the manic passion that led me to write countless articles for Philosocom is gone. The creativity that often comes from an unstable mental state -- and I was very unstable for much of my life -- is gone along with the instability. As such, writing articles in the ways I used to be, are no longer available for me. Yet at least I take solace in the fact that, while I'm not as creative as I used to, I no longer suffer. Pain used to be my constant reality, and from pain I drew a lot of inspiration to write, to rise to power over others and, through empathy, be there for people who were in personal crisis. With my current treatment, even the pain that accompanied me from childhood to adulthood is gone. All I am left with is to be a normal man with an extremely unique and unstable past which lead to the creation of this empire of a website, which gave me plenty of meaning during highly difficult times. Yet the difficulty is gone. The need to be unique is gone. All I want to be is a simple man that rests in his bed and spend the days watching videos. I don't feel like being a philosopher or a leader, and yet I am by the massive work of my troubled past. I will still keep the site on because it keeps my partner happy, and might continue writing from time to time. Yet, please don't expect much from me anymore. I no longer have the need to philosophize as a way of life, and at this point in my life I am willing to face the nihilism that follows with being normal and stable. It is that very same nihilism that led me to philosophize as a child, and started a depression that encompassed much of my life. Because of all my suffering and instability, I couldn't find work, I couldn't continue in my studies at the university I used to attend; I had a very difficult life that stemmed from my various conditions. Yet, I don't seek your pity. All I want is to write my thoughts from time to time, allow the articles of other people on this platform, and be left alone to lead a normal life. What's with the nihilism of being normal? Simple. Being small, being insignificant, that is what being normal means to me. To handle my depression that stemmed from that very same nihilism, I did massive feats, such as writing books, writing this site and so on and on. I sought to be great and I sought to contribute. Yet, understanding more the selfish nature of most of humanity, I no longer seek to contribute to it like I used to. I just need a space to write my thoughts at this point, and as I said, be left alone. Despite wanting to live a normal life, I perceive the world as a threat. I realized that this world makes many people want to die, and if I avoid the world and only use it as a necessary evil for survival, I won't want to die myself. And I wanted to die many times, tried, and fortunately failed. The anxiety of perceiving this world as a threat lingers deep in my heart, even when I am safe and alone. I wish I could've avoided the world entirely, but alas, I need it too to function. As a child I saw myself as the protagonist of Suikoden IV, Razro. And like him, I did great things only to return to normalcy in the end. This is the end for me -- a life of little significance. I am ready to face the very same nihilism that brought me on the journey to philosopher-ship. Ready to face it, without wanting to die, without sinking to depression again. Despite all I did, life is objectively meaningless, and no number of great achievements will change that. I may be a philosopher, but at this point I am a normal person, or at least, aspiring to be one. And at this point, I aspire to be more normal than philosopher. I tire of seeking greatness, of seeking power, and of seeking revenge. The world is becoming more and more dystopian, and I just yearn to be but a tiny speck in it, and mind my own business without interfering, anymore.

(Philosocom's Directory on Politics) Synopsis and Feedback by Ms. Gabbi Grace The article "Honest Thoughts on Constitutional Monarchy" explores the logical reasoning behind the Constitutional Monarchy as a form of government, and criticize it. Constitutional monarchies offer several advantages, such as providing national unity, stability, and continuity. Monarchs often serve as unifying figures that embody national identity and tradition, which can help foster a sense of common purpose and cohesion within a politically diverse society. Additionally, constitutional monarchies tend to offer a balanced system of governance with checks and balances that can prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful​. On the downside, constitutional monarchies can be criticized for being costly, as maintaining the royal family and its functions often involves significant public expenditure. Furthermore, the process of decision-making in constitutional monarchies can be slow and cumbersome due to the need for approval from multiple layers of government, including the monarch and the elected bodies. This can hinder quick responses in times of emergency. Additionally, there is the issue of quality in leadership, as monarchs are not elected based on merit but rather inherit their positions, which can sometimes lead to ineffective or inexperienced heads of state​​​​. The article concludes that while Democratic Republics can be more just, and relying on merit and not ancestry. (Background music) Dethroning Absolute Rule: Understanding Constitutional Monarchies A constitutional monarchy is a form of government where the monarch, whether a king, queen, sultan, or emperor, holds a symbolic or limited leadership role. Unlike absolute monarchs of the past, their power is restricted by a constitution, a document outlining the laws of the state. This effectively denies their ability to rule with complete authority. Interestingly, another term for this system is "democratic monarchy." However, it's important to understand that the people don't directly elect the monarch. That is known as elective monarchy. However, an elected monarch can still be a symbolic figurehead, as expressed in the Cambodian monarchy, where the figurehead is elected for life by the royal council. Beyond such elections, the monarch's title is usually hereditary, passing down through a royal family. The democratic aspect comes from the system itself, where the power of the citizens outweighs that of the monarch, as they elect the government that rules alongside the monarch, or actually rule, while the monarch remains nothing more than a prestigious status symbol wearer. While the monarch may retain some influence, it pales in comparison to the authority held by the public, often referred to as "subjects" in historical contexts. The concept of a constitutional monarch isn't limited to kings and queens. Countries like Japan have an emperor position to this day, who fulfils a similar symbolic role. The current Emperor of Japan, for instance, wields minimal to no political power under Article 4 of the nation's constitution. A Meritocrat's View on Modern Monarchies In today's world, the concept of a constitutional monarchy, where a king or queen reigns with limited power, seems like an unnecessary layer in a functioning democracy. A true republic, where the power rests with the people, embodies the spirit of democracy more authentically. My personal view on monarchies isn't about the individuals themselves. I hold no hostility towards members of royal families. However, the very idea of inherited privilege opposes the legitimacy of meritocracies, which promotes the equality of opportunity. Their lives are often treated like celebrity gossip, their voices amplified solely due to their ancestry. While Prince Harry's book release gained international attention, I believe his own experiences and message, rather than his royal title, deserved the spotlight. After all, he stepped down from his royal status. As such, historically, being a royal member gives you greater access to education and are less likely to live in poverty (with exceptions such as King Ludwig II of Bavaria who assumingly paid for his debts with his life). This makes a bit more sense when actually have power, and not when your power is a mere status symbol, and a burden on taxpayer's hard-earned work. The death of Queen Elizabeth brought a wave of mixed emotions. While sadness dominated my feelings before I died inside, I was surprised to witness some celebratory reactions. However, my dislike is directed at the unfair institution, not at the individuals. I believe these people are worthy of respect simply as human beings, not because of their titles. I wouldn't seek to dishonor someone just because of their titles, or lack thereof, while they still retain their right of respect, which I can enforce in my behavior towards them. If I found myself in the peculiar position of a symbolic nobleman, I wouldn't settle for a purely ceremonial role. The drive to achieve merit and build a legacy on my own terms would be far more important to me than luxury gained through mere historic symbolism. I wouldn't want to be defined solely by a noble bloodline. In that scenario, I would choose to be recognized for who I am, Tomasio, rather than just another member of the nobility. That includes the actual, underrated dynasty I am part of, the Zackheim rabbi dynasty of Belarus, comprised of many rabbis and philosophers forgotten by history. The Price of a Crown The enduring presence of constitutional monarchies raises a question: are these elaborate institutions a valuable relic of the past, or an outdated burden on taxpayers? While tradition, culture, and national heritage hold weight, a closer look reveals some practical and financial concerns. Maintaining a royal family can significantly drain public resources. Tax money that could be used for essential services goes towards funding their opulent lifestyles. Perhaps the financial benefit of abolishing these monarchies outweighs the sentimental value they hold. Returning to the British Royal Family, in 2023, the monarchy got paid "£86.3 million, made up of £51.8 million for the core funding and an extra £34.5 million for maintaining Buckingham Palace" according to the Standard news outlet. This is quite a hefty sum of money to pay for a symbolic institution and its assets. The core principle of a democracy is the power residing with the people, exercised through elected representatives. In a constitutional monarchy, a hereditary ruler holds a position of power – a technical contradiction, whether symbolic or otherwise. As such, not all constitutional monarchies are symbolic, with Liechtenstein's non-elected Prince having a considerable power of his own, along with the people. Can a leader who wasn't elected by the people truly be considered democratic? The nobility, seem to be aware of their diminished influence in a world dominated by republics and democracies. Those with no actual power, form of elaborate live-action roleplaying (LARP) with little practical relevance. While some democratic republics, like Germany, have titles of nobility, these individuals don't wield political power. Their lineage has no bearing on the functioning of the state. So, what is even the point in such hollow, privileged display of vanity? My Hope The ideal form of government, in my view, is a democratic republic. These nations hold legitimate elections, ensuring that leadership is based on merit and the will of the people, not on ancestry. When you have, for example, kings like Charles II of Spain, who suffered from physical and mental disabilities, maybe it's not a good idea to have a heredity rule for an entire nation. While this vision may not be fully embraced, a world where absolute monarchies are completely relics of the past, and democracies reign supreme, should at least be considered.

Those who aspire to be philosophers, specifically, see this article. (Background music) Alex Mos's Synopsis Academic degrees prove that someone is knowledgeable in a specific field. For some professions, diplomas are a necessity; for others, certificates are optional credentials. "The Degree Fallacy" is a bias in judging a person's character or intelligence based solely on their diplomas. It overlooks that some people can become experts outside academia through self-study. Also, an academic degree only makes a person knowledgeable in a field of study. A misconception of a scholar's generalized expertise can hinder a productive exchange of ideas by disregarding the valuable insights of a person without a diploma. While degrees are valuable for careers, studies in the humanities, such as philosophy, can be learned independently. The author became a competent philosopher through self-study. He works with reviewers and summarizers to produce high-quality articles, proving that self-education can be effective and successful. Getting an academic degree can be too stressful and expensive for some people. If you cannot pursue traditional education, you can always acquire knowledge online. Being a true intellect means constantly learning, with or without a diploma. Philosophers such as Socrates, Diogenes, and David Hume didn't graduate from a university; regardless, they became influential thinkers. "To deny wisdom/ability on the basis of someone's lack of "official credentials" is the dumbest thing smart people often do" -- Mr. John Duran The Value of a Degree Academic degrees are currently one of the most concrete proofs that someone is knowledgeable in at least one or two fields, especially in fields where a degree is either mandatory for professionalism (as in medicine and engineering) or optional but very useful as a credential (as in philosophy or literature). However, because of how luxurious degrees can be, a certain bias could be created in the eyes of some, when judging one's character and even intelligence. I'd like to call this bias "The Degree Fallacy" because there are still a few things we should remember about degrees, that are, for some, still severely overlooked: One can become knowledgeable in a field in more unorthodox ways, like by learning things on their own. Because of that, there could be a possibility of finding at least one pair of people who are equally knowledgeable through academia and through independent study. Academic education is a privilege for many people in most countries. Logically, to many worldwide, it is a liberator from their current socio-economic status, capable of elevating their lives to greater heights, better ensuring their survival. However, not everyone is financially capable of such financial dedication of funds, or of enduring the debt that is required for some. While money technically buys a degree, there are far cheaper ways of attaining, theoretically, the same knowledge. This is called, in an article I wrote, the same result problem. Having a degree doesn't necessarily make you knowledgeable in fields that are not relevant to your expertise. I can tell from personal experience that my counterpoint was once disregarded over the premise someone with... a biochemistry degree, had made. This is despite the fact that biochemistry had nothing to do with the discussion. In other words, our biased understanding towards degrees can hinder a productive exchange of ideas, by disregarding valuable insights over a person's lack of certification. This further demonstrates how having knowledge can ironically serve as a barrier to the learning of further knowledge, as presented by Socrates. Nonetheless, degrees are highly valuable, and there's nothing wrong with that, by default. But when it gives you a higher standing just because you chose the orthodox path to knowledge, that should be unacceptable at times when the other unorthodox methods can be just as practical for others. That is true in the fields of the humanities, too, where information can be attained and learned independently. Especially when it comes to the humanities, a person can be intellectual even without a single course under their belt. This is demonstrated in philosophers belonging to the metaphorical "Sorcerer" faction. And obviously, to claim that you are omniscient in the field you did one or more degrees in, is an absurd notion. Why? Because that claim can be proven wrong somehow, someday, by someone. Despite one's mastery in a field, one in theory can never reach omniscience because there could always be more to learn. I used to be a philosophy student, and even though I did well in my studies like I always did as a student in general, I halted it indefinitely in the name of both my savings and my mental wellbeing. The orthodox way was too stressful. I find myself learning as much as renovating Philosocom articles ruthlessly and researching sources for that effort. I don't want to have a degree at the cost of my finances and mental state, when I can be both a philosopher and knowledgeable at a far lower price. I also don't do it entirely alone, as I have reviewers to help me look both ways at the article's subject, and summarizers, thus refining an article even further through the function of combined effort. This is just one of the reasons why degrees aren't always obtained, even if you have the means to do so: The fact that we can do things, like murder, doesn't mean we should, even if other examples are good but come at a high price. We need to use foresight to properly understand the toll of sacrifice we'll have to endure as a result of the activities we choose to pursue. Stress gathers up within our bodies, for example, thus hindering our overall health if we don't do anything to reduce it. Should there be too much stress, we might become fatigued on a more-chronic basis. To better preserve our health, we need to understand that health is a capacity which can be reduced the more we ignore it. Your savings can be used otherwise if the same knowledge can be learned more cheaply. By doing so you save not only money but also much needed health, which can be compromised by increased stress, which leads to fatigue. We should also remember that formal education is only one way of attaining knowledge or even wisdom. Nowadays, that also includes books you can read at the library or order online. The same destination, after all, can have multiple paths, and not every path suits every traveler. If the desired path does not suit you, no one should make you feel bad about it. I'm not a doctor or a professor, but I know that if I put in the time and effort, I can become just as educated as an academic, even if it won't be completely free. So can you, if the academic world is not for you. You can better understand my educational deviation by reading "The Philosopher" page. When you are a public figure, the worst thing you can do is become pretentious. And, when it comes to "pretentiousness", remember that Socrates, who had no degree, was only a stonemason. A pseudo-intellectual can be one even if they are academic, as ironic as it may sound. Much of being a true intellect has to do with one's relentlessness to learn and even question their own knowledge. Diogenes, as well, was a poor man who lived in a barrel. He was an intellect worthy of contemplation despite being an eccentric homeless man. A true intellect would know a chance of learning when they see it, and will attempt to seize it. I feature guest posts on Philosocom for a reason. Therefore, philosophy does not require you to have a degree in order to be a philosopher, even though it would certainly help. We need to make this distinction between necessity and benefit. The academy is no longer the exclusive keeper of knowledge. One of its points is to open you up to more job opportunities via the certificate that is their degree. I would not trust a physician who has no professional education of any kind, but can we truly say this regarding every profession that can be studied academically? Socrates had no academic background, for example, and that did not stop him from being regarded as the founder of Western philosophy. You can find examples of other notable, non-academic philosophers, like David Hume, on your own. While Hume studied law, he gave it up in order to study philosophy and study in general, even outside of higher education. Like me, he did not graduate from university. Mr. Nathan Lasher's Feedback To me, education wasn't anything more than an experience. I value the time because, oh, how it applies to me now. The same way I have utilized the university of life. I use it as a basis for understanding. That is all. College got me to learn to think differently about things. I do however see Mr. Tomasio's point that it is a bit useless as far as anything, because my education has never prepared me for any job I have had, it has all been on the job training. All college does is let people know you are a good learner. Why, unless it's something like a doctor who requires specific knowledge, you don't require a degree for anything you want to do. Like what my education has taught me is how to think more logically about things. College is pretty much the admissions for specialized career fields. You can however gain such knowledge without college. All college really does is supply you with a career requirement. Colleges only possess one good application. Don't ever attend college without a game plan. Think of it as pre-emptive job training for what you want to do. Most higher professions require this start to possess them with your higher up special training you will learn on the job. All you get in college is a good foundation for the basics. Most people aren't as concerned with your degree title, exception being doctors or any other high-end job like that. They are only concerned with what you attended, and your general education supplied you with enough basics which they can use as a basis for understanding.
