Conditions of a Philosopher

[Anonymous No.18712773]

>"You can recognize a philosopher by his avoidance of three shiny loud things, fame, princes, women: which does not mean that they avoid him. He shuns light that is too bright, so he shuns his time and its ‘day’. He inhabits it like a shadow: the more the sun sinks, the bigger he becomes. With regard to his ‘humility’, he can stand a certain dependency and darkening in the same way that he can stand the dark: indeed, he dreads being disturbed by lightning, he shrinks at the lack of protection afforded by one all-too isolated and exposed tree which bears the brunt of the vagaries of the storm’s temper and temper’s storms <...> In the last resort, they ask for little enough, these philosophers, their slogan is, ‘who possesses, is possessed’ –: not, as I have to say again and again, out of virtue, out of a creditable will to moderation and simplicity, but because their supreme master so demands, cleverly and inexorably: preoccupied with just one thing, collecting and saving up everything – time, strength, love, interest – with that end in view. This type of person dislikes being bothered with animosities or even with friendships: he is quick to forget or despise" Genealogy of Morals, third essay, 8 section.
Does this describe philosophers or was it just a cope akin to sigma male meme?

Nietzsche was all cope and too cowardly to be sigma.
