Pre-Socratic? Scholasticism? Rationalism? Empiricism? Enlightenment? Idealism? Existentialism? I lean towards transcendentalism. Henry David Thoreau. Spirituality, intuitive knowledge, the connection between people, nature and God.

At least two of these aren't philosophical viewpoints.

Kantianism and Taoism.
But I'm far from perfection in adherence to either.Pull List:
Marvel Comics: Venom, X-Men, Black Panther, Captain America, Eternals, Warhammer 40000.

I am an Existential Naturalist. Secular Humanism would also fit
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

I always really liked Utilitarianism. Where the best moral action is seen as the thing that maximizes utility. Utility being defined as what brings the most pleasure after suffering of all involved is taken away. I'm also a fan of Marxism as an understanding of class structure, which is woefully misunderstood by society, mainly due to the purposeful misunderstanding by the moneyed elite and the media.
I don't necessarily subscribe to these philosophies in practice, but I think both are interesting and can help us better understand the world.

Cosmicism
Cosmicism is the literary philosophy developed and used by the American writer H. P. Lovecraft in his weird fiction. The most prominent theme in cosmicism is the insignificance of humanity. Though personally irreligious, Lovecraft used various "gods" in his stories, particularly the Cthulhu related tales, to expound cosmicism. However, Lovecraft never conceived of them as supernatural; but extraterrestrials who understand and obey a set of natural laws, which to human understanding seem magical. These beings (the Great Old Ones, Outer Gods and others)—though dangerous to humankind—are portrayed as neither good nor evil, and human notions of morality have no significance for these beings. Indeed, they exist in cosmic realms beyond human understanding. As a symbol, this is representative of the kind of universe that Lovecraft believed in.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

School of hard knocks, Graduated magna cum laude from the USMC in 1968, got an 8 year doctorate in life there. A little Sun Tsu, a lot of Thomas Paine's common sense, peppered and seasoned with an absolute dedication to the Bill of Rights

There is no "I" in We. Just us.
When you lose the rhythm of the drumbeat of god, you are lost from the peace and rhythm of life.
