Philosophy:
>Pleb filter
The biggest filter happens when Idiots start out with books that presuppose knowledge of previous philosophers, usually the Greeks. More concretely I think Aristoteles or Nietzsche have filtered most people who tried to get into philosophy.
>midwit filter
The critique of pure reason, this is where most midwits or hobby philosophers give up on philosophy.

Hume filters the giga spergs with the is ought distinction and compatibilism, Hegel hard filters plebs, Heidegger too

Do you mean which has the finer mesh, for catching those pseuds that are closer to the real deal? I would say Bombadil. No doubt he has very good reasons being in the tale, but the ship catalogue is sublime, while that proto Teehee Macaroni motherfucker is just off-putting.

I am a pseud, yes, but of the two, Bombadil was the filter.
