Who gives fuck about direct popularity of philosophers man?
Just look at the sorry condition of contemporary philosophy. It's a total dead end. Look at the contemporary normalfag culture it's full of mental illness romanticisation and nihilism. Read the of thesis of Mark Fisher for cultural stasis and psychopathology. Read the Roy Scranton's thesis for catastrophic climate. Read the scientific reports on energy crisis. Look at the political discourse, total stasis. Birth rates are declining. All over the world the world people are pessimistic about future. And countless other "bleak" factors.

Pessimist canon won.
