>Schleiermacher was retarded and commenced 2 wasted centuries of bad studies in ancient philosophy
I wonder if there ever was a philosopher who 1) wasn't retarded and 2) hasn't led to centuries of idiots. I wonder if philosophy is worth it. The wise men are still stupid, but far above average. What they say drips through a hundred layers of stupidity. And under this vast ceiling, humanity is frolicking around, with open mouths, collecting, as if it were honey, the excrement raining down from above. This train of thought is itself an example of why it might be better to keep your mental mouth shut.
