To be honest, I haven't read him yet.
And yes, as you probably suspect, I did mistake Heraclitus for Herodotus (both of whom I have read).
"Freudian slip", as they say...

>He thinks the thought being taught in today's society is valuable
lol when you have shit shoveled towards you and people keep telling you it's gold you're going to value gold as much as shit, but once you discover real gold, how you value it will greatly change.

Based not dead inside poster.
What moved you about the book, it looks like fairly straightforward nonfiction?

>>16932501
There is only one person here who I do not know. Should I kill myself?

>>16932582
>>16932590
What am I missing, is this a dog whistle or something?

>>16932628
I only recognize two of those people.

>>16932590
I'm not sure that Thucydides can be considered a philosopher.
Perhaps an historian with philosophical overtones.

>>16932867
You spend enough time on this part of the internet and you'll get to know these 'people'.
I might not know their names, but I know who all bar one are.

clockwise they are
Dave Rubin - A "centrist" grifter
Brendan Schaub - only know he has the guest appearances on Joe Rogan
Hasan Piker - former The Young Turks presenter turned political twitch streamer who has the political knowledge and nuance of a commie on twitter
Vaush - Commie streamer who people forgive for being a creep cause he's a commie
Destiny - Political/Gamer streamer who probably has the most sound politics of anyone who talks politics on youtube/twitch and is a big neolib
David Pakman - A youtuber who does daily news/political commentary and is a socdem/demsoc

>>16933643
>Brendan Schaub - only know he has the guest appearances on Joe Rogan

It came across as very spiritual to me, just not in a mainstream monotheistic sense. I'm a pantheist or perhaps panentheist so the conjunction of philosophy with a possible metaphysics along those lines pressed some buttons. Also the text, while being to some extent quietist nonsense, can be understood as both providing justification for divine silence and countering fascist spirituality and philosophy by bracketing it within a lower scope than something more fluid and dynamic. In essence it seems to explain why this world is a hell world while allowing for the meaning-creation tools typically invoked in that context while nonetheless pointing the way to something higher. I'm going to be writing a book that incorporates some of these ideas over the next six months or so, maybe I'll be able to explain it better there.
>>16932870
No, I just thought I spotted "a type" but maybe I'm just imagining patterns in things.

Brain-dead moron who can't into biology or advanced economics

>>16932501
This one guy that worked at the gas station where I got my first job. I don't think he had a permanent living arrangement and so he'd stick around with me during the night shift and give me pretty solid life advice. He seemed well-read because I later found out he was a scholar of Heidegger and knew Western philosophy pretty well. He also quoted the Bhagavad Gita word-for-word often. He said he served in the Sultan of Oman's Armed Forces too but never really went into detail about it.

Anyway, he gave me my first blowjob one night and he was pretty good. He overdosed a month after I left that job.

>>16932501
Camus
Tolstoy
That's it tbqh. Camus is more when I was a teen though

>>16933756

Yeah I'm thinking based

These days:
Hegel
Marx
Engles
Lenin
Stalin
Mao
Gonzalo
Comrade Ajith
Jose Maria Sison

Though previously a lot of the people in OPs image did influence me, so did many post-modernists, ultimately I ended up at Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, philosophically and politically.

>>16932586
marxists who don't believe in their own agency are so bizarre.
