Literally not true with Nietzsche and his aphorisms

Read orgyofthewill.net to see what Nietzsche would be like.

Posting online levels everyone off into retardation. The greatest minds would sound stupid here, but scarcely more stupid than the least minds.

Nietzsche would be insufferable but also probably the most powerful poster on twitter.
Aristotle would get really into contemporary science, spend half a lifetime learning (and probably teaching) physics and biology, and die leaving some cryptic but brilliant notes that revolutionize those fields forever.

I feel like modern Internet communication and neoliberal academic structure are the greatest forces of hyperconventionalism imaginable.

You might _think_ that resources like Sci-Hub, Library Genesis and Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, as well as an ability to discuss and share your ideas with some of the most well-read and intelligent people out there would supercharge cognitive abilities of colossuses like Nietzsche or Aristotle to their maximum. But that is not the case. Truth is, they would struggle to get academic tenure and intellectual exposure due to their writing style being too unconventional to pass the peer review process (individuals like Pierce are an exception from this law), and their highly unconventional ideas would barely scratch the surface of websites like Twitter or Stack Exchange where few people, if any, ponder about your deep thought for more than a sliver of a moment before posting a half-baked, profoundly uncharitable response.

Sure, these individuals would have much more polished ideas due to ease of access of information. But you and I would not hold Nietzsche and Aristotle as household names if they were mere Substackers, holding an untenured position in some run-of-the-mill universities in the middle of nowhere, being paid just enough to feed themselves.

The experiment doesn't make sense. Someone biologically identical to Aristotle would just be some random guy with a decent IQ.
If he time traveled to 2022 he would be a confused old man and everyone would be pre-deboonking everything he says before he even says it. He would spend the rest of his life catching up.

modern humanity is an endless sea of drooling retards anon, you know what would happen, your OP pic says it all

I find that picture hilarious in the context of 4chan because "esoteric knowledge" probably means posting flat earth and mud flood youtube videos
