I want to know what the people who make these self-aggrandizing, BUT also self-deprecating teehee cause I'm not THAT big of a narcissist tee hee, charts look like. I can't imagine they're a pretty sight, since by definition they must be American.

... And what is your point? or do you just enjoy posting screenshots?

>>20498596
>Who was the most intelligent and profound philosopher to have ever lived?
Probably...

near modern: Thomas Jefferson

old world: Emperor Hadrian

since 'true' philsophy consists of being intelligent and putting the knowledge into practical politics,

Hadrian gets the laurels as he was easily responsible for the most philosophy entering into civic life when he had idle philosophers ripped out of their bedrooms and put them into government offices to administer the state.

Jefferson gets the near-modern laurels because he was arguably the largest intellectual mind that went into the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, which was fine before the later edits.

>Who was the most intelligent and profound philosopher to have ever lived?
I don't like to slick my own cock and promote another thread I made only an hour ro so ago, but it got o attention anyway so..

but I think John Wilmot, in all seriousness, qualifies,

>Your reason hinders, mine helps to enjoy,

>My reason is my friend, yours is a cheat;

>(whilst) perversely, yours your appetite does mock:
>this asks for food, that answers, “What’s o’clock?”
>This plain distinction, sir, your doubt secures:
>’Tis not "true reason" I despise, but yours.

as he makes distinctions on these kind of things, which still to this day live rent free in peoples heads without any resolution about.

The fact that you know about this page makes you worse than OP. Your "own" was a self-own.

>a self-own.

I have been owned
I have been sold,
I won by ticket to the supper bowl,
I hold it out and I beseech,
for heated broth from the Church Spoon that feeds,

our families sold away our ancestors hard-earned estates
to finance pleasure cruises gifting only poverty as our shared fates,

here i sit in the future of presupposed delights;
in unheated squalor, and nearby knife fights
o'er paltry packages of sugary bread,
"we don't need to learn no more," they said
in twenty twenty two or such
for the future is secured, and our greatness is much.

lmao I read that bionicle book when I was 6, you might just be retarded if you find that hard

Why is the Bible on twice? I am a booklet, so please don’t make fun of me.

>>20499143
Many such cases indeed

It’s to imply the bible is entry and exit level in terms of literature, though it isn’t true

>>20498599
fpbp

>>20498596
The kid who, after taking a class with Ludqig Wittgenstein, dropped out of college and gave up on a career in philosophy after recognizing there was nothing of value to be said.

>>20502647
Wut? Story?

>>20502652
That's pretty much the whole story. Wittgenstein was teaching a course on philosophy and one of his students dropped the course and left college after telling Wittgenstein that he'd realized that philosophy was a pointless waste of time and he had nothing of value to say. I believe Wittgenstein described him as the only intelligent philosophy student he'd ever met.

>>20498599
>>20502630
Gadamertards some academic name dropped him and some positive prejudice concept he had and it sounded cool. What background do I need to read him? Sole exposure to him was listening to some woman on youtube say he is great and magical in a 40 minute lecture

Kant, Hegel, and Marx (only one who managed to beat philosophy)—in ascending order of intelligence and profundity—are the ones who really matter. Outside of them, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Derrida probably.

>>20501169
he's boring

>>20499738
schmitt is a retarded hyperliberal who's useful to read only to understand the fullest extent of the retardation of liberalism

>>20498603
this unironically

>>20499143
I was under the impression they don't read any of the books in them, they are content creators who take 'polls' which means that the meme is already self-selected for reproducibility. They get the board to suggest which books are missing and where, then take on their suggestions. Which means that other anons are more likley to repost it.
This is the instagram/tiktok influencer hell we exist in.
