He was smart though. Think of the brains needed to come up with the Copernican turn and write the transcendental aesthetic. Say what you want about the Konigsberg goblin but he was smart as fuck.

Kant was on another level completely. The dude was a galaxy brain but unfortunately it also meant he had no grasp of social reality. Only a completely autistic person would have such a shit take about morality as Kant’s.

It was reported repeatedly that Kant did in fact have a big head, and we also know it was taken to mean that he was smart.

He was a very popular socialiser and was described as very talkative and funny.

I'm more than a little annoyed that Kant's physical stature wasn't brought to my attention during my four years of undergrad.
Nietzsche was right in _Twilight of the Idols_ when he wrote that physiology is highly determinative, using the example of Socrates' ugliness. I think the only reason Nietzsche didn't pick on Kant's midget height is that he himself was a manlet, which is only marginally better than a midget, which in turn is only marginally better than a cross-eyed midget (Sartre).

There is supposedly a correlation between relative head size and intelligence. Personally I think it's a dubious relationship, given the dearth of Nobel laureates and Fields medalists among African bushmen and Negrito populations.

Yes, but Caucasians with big heads (in a specific phrenological way) are always intelligent!

[Anonymous No.17690384]

>>17690234
I should also add, the thickness of the negro skull must be taken into account. Their head is big by skull, ours is big by brain. But there are just as intelligent minds as Kant, whose brains compacted their intelligence.

Kant was in fact known for his anomalous craniometric proportions. He essentially was nothing but a brain.

Social order revolving heavily around duty is a very Prussian/German thing. Kant's ethics is very much influenced by Prussian social reality and even rebellious at times when the moral principle doesn't aline with the law.

Tall people have rarely done anything of note in history. The reason we have so many mediocre men today is precisely because we have so many tall men.

I think this is actually true although it sounds like a cope. All the very best men of history were turbo manlets.

They were smaller back then (like Napoleon was average height at the time). Kant was a manlet though

biggest cope of them all, the fact that many great men were of small statures does not take anything out of the fact that you have to bend your neck backwards and to raise your small voice to address yourself to me

if you're tall and lack ambition you are probably just an autist. If you look at a map, you'll notice that the countries with the tallest populations are (for the most part) the most progressive. My theory is that a taller population is indicative of feminisms, which means that females had more (or all) say in the mate selection. The exception to this rule is the balkans but a handy explanation is that balkans are under cryptic pagan mother cults. The most patriarchal societies, meanwhile, are shorter. It's not that tall people aren't ambitious. When you look at CEO's, for example, something like 99% of them are over 6 foot/180CM. The problem is that these tall males are the offspring of choosy, domineering women. So the type of things tall men are ambitious about are female type things such as wealth, power, and status. They aren't ambitious about male pursuits which females don't understand. things like war, philophosphy, religious work. It's a misplaced ambition.

I can crouch to listen to Schubert. You will NEVER be able to understand Bach, because you will NEVER be able to listen to Bach with your feet on the ground on your head in the sky. At most you have your head in tall men' crotches, no wonder you like gay music like Schubert.
