Can you mention only all the philosophers here on this chart? I've been trying to follow through this chart but I intended to read only philosophy.

no such thing, yeah lets not read Plato and read Dennett instead.
But yes, skip the natural science

I'm autistically trying to find a Western canon reading list to plough through and Adler's is the best that I have found, but in this chart from his list from How to Read a Book, there seem to be a few authors that are included/not included here and not in other lists (like Bloom). It's weird that Heidegger and Kierkegaard are missing too.

What should I cut out and what should I add in? I saw that thread here with Galen and shit like that seems pointless to read.
Is Aristotle's natural science worth reading still or is it a waste of time?
Are the mathematical or medical texts worth reading? Euclid's Geometry seems important, but are the likes of Archimedes?
I need a good pre-socratic compilation book too

Mortimer Adler was a big proponent of the Western canon; you might enjoy picrel.

Still though, I can give you 1488 reasons why it's a great book.

Thoughts on How to Read Book? As someone who wants to learn how to read to understand more about their world is this a good start to get the most of the books I want to read afterwards?

If I just want to learn, and not deal with political bs of left or right, where do I go? Like can I just learn from, and with, really smart people who are interested in knowledge. I don't even need a job out of it. Like how do I become a polymath Renaissance man?

Can anyone who has used either of these charts tell me which is the better one to follow?

I vote for Gracchus. But will there be a Byzantium? Where is the east that will hold out, and think itself America, for hundreds of years? The west coast?
