Aristotle.

Because most people don't (care to) understand him but he increases your iq points 10-20 fold and will give you an answer to everything someone says, plus you can say "Askhually, as Aristotle says in his Poetics" or whatever work he says it in.

yeah. Wikipedia is honestly extremely based. If you have the time, you can binge read stuff like the entire history of China or Europe all from your armchair. I don't understand why some people struggle or like knowledge in history when they have Wikipedia accessible on their phones

Plato, Aristotle, some Buddhism stuff, and finally Kant.

Bonus round: Hegel. He will make you feel like you understand absolutely everything but won't be able to explain it to anyone and will simply come off as a schizo.

It's actually doing well, not doing good, unless you've been doing charitable works recently.
Actually begging the question means circular reasoning and is a logical fallacy. Instead of begging the question, try "raises" or "inspires" the question.
