Clearly wrong. Kant is the top intellecutal and a qt.

No I'm like a 7/10 and have gf my intellectualism is actually a cope for the yawning spiritual chasm in my life that threatens to engulf me the minute I don't have anyone to live for

Kant was ugly as sin and died a virgin

>>12383222
Newton was a qt and died a virgin

Ironic

This meme is such a load of garbage. Never mind the fact that a breadth of knowledge is far more invaluable than a narrow focus on antiquated philosophy. "starting" implies to read them to be done with them and move onto the next big thing, rather than reading in and out of chronology, or making the jump to antiquity from present day, or even reading modern and ancient philosophy alongside one another. The kind of person who espouses this trash opinion will also tell you to read the oeuvre of a certain author in the order of publication, to organise your socks according to the colour spectrum, and to rank the attractiveness of your ex partners from shortest to tallest. The arbitrary sequencing of taste really is just the pretence of a pseudointellectual who struggles to solidify himself as a free-thinking agent, and so relies upon the most basic human experience– the progression of time –to dictate it for him.

>a cope for having bad looks
It is in part. Doesn't make it bad or not usefull. "Being smart" isn't the worst reproductive strategy.

Dont worry granpappy patrician is just mad he only got to start once and he began with debased ecumenical doctrines. He will quiet down when the game show network returns from commercials.

Not necessarily. Given that intellectualism is usually discovered in childhood, and the frequency of actual intellectuals having undergone tutelage regardless of their deformities or particular expressions of understanding are evidence that rote learning can be acquired as can human growth hormone and protein supplements. The advantage is nonetheless to the aesthetically intellectual as opposed to the rational deformities of any logical transcriptionist. Earnestness plateaus but never fades in any medium.

No clue whether I’m ugly but it’s certainly a cope for the lack of social interaction, since I have social phobia

Starting with the Greeks gives you the strength of character to see through all the bullshit that follows.

Yeah, forcing Stoicism down your fucking throat because you can't escape the totalizing hug of death that is the internet and related media is just not for everyone. pic. rel is at least aimed correctly beyond reason.

Is having good looks just a cope for being stupid?

Taleb is going to snap town

Kant had a shitload of female admirers who wanted him but he denied the flesh. He was volcel not incel

>Equating the entirety of Greek thought with stoicism

yikes!

>>12384145
Wasn't. Just the Starting with the Greeks meme. You know what you mean.

>>12384152
The starting with the Greeks meme is a whole different thing than the stoics meme.

probably

It's more complex than that, every person pursues the strategy that compliments their natural gifts, this doesn't make intellectualism worthless.
