Phiosophers that are garbage/were wrong about everything/had no talent/not worth reading Plato (moron/wrong about everything/non-intellectual reading for people to dick around on the train) Descartes (moron) Heidegger (wrong/takes the worst aspects of nietzsche/a crybaby nazi that hated technology) Marcus Aurelius (cuck philosophy) Cicero (cuck philosophy) Seneca (cuck philosophy) The Scholastics and really any christcuck (morons/wrong/produced nothing of value) Hobbes (moron) Berkeley (moron) Sartre (moron) Husserl (nothing of value/boring) Freud (moron) Lacan (a bore) Rand (moron) Chomsky (nothing of value) Russell (moron)
Philosophers worth reading Kant (dont even like him but he is necessary) Marx and all the 20th century Marxists The late 20th century postmodernists ie. Deleuze (genius/the james joyce of philosophy), Foucault, Baudrilard (based), Virilio, Derrida Mcluhan Aristotle Spinoza Nietzsche (based) Stirner (for the memes) German Idealists Montaigne (comfy) Heraclitus Whitehead (genius) Bergson Bataille Michelstraedter Leibniz Epicurus Lucretius Taoists (chad philosophy) Voltaire Hume
Virilio is the biggest pseud ever, aside from some of Baudrillard’s followers. Open sky was an open sore.

Plato
Alexander Nguyen
Move Spinoza and this list would be based and redpilled
Anthony Sanders
Literally agree with everything except Plato, Descartes, Heidegger and Husserl Also >Nietzsche (based) based
Wyatt Myers
Even mentioning Rand at all is giving it far too much attention. Why should it be listed among philosophers, good or bad, for the fan-fiction it created?
Christopher Ross
All philosophers between 17th century and 1870 are completely useless. The same for all thinkers between 1945 and 2001.
Lincoln Stewart
Your mom tips my fedora for me while I make sweet love to her ass.
Bentley Rogers
unbased and cringepilled
Benjamin Myers
>takes the worst aspects of nietzsche Care to extrapolate?
Isaac Brown
I think I posted something similar to this post like two years ago and got btfo
Joseph Watson
All philosophy before the 18th century was useless and moronic. Philosophy peaked in the late 20th century.
Wyatt Allen
No one in my highschool knew half of those names aside from the more famous ones that are taught in class. Even most of the stuff they teach about those said philosophers is pretty badly explained. the "I think therefore i am" is probably the worst meme highschool made me believe.
Zachary Edwards
Philosophy died in the 20th Century and post modernism was the cause of death.
Jaxon Nguyen
Wtf is the need to add those bimbo looking lips in the photoshop?
Anthony Mitchell
Imagine not knowing that all the fundamental questions of existence were realized and solved by eastern sages before the 5th century B.C. and that all this is just the extended end-credits playing out in the mind of God
Connor Mitchell
Postmodernism is the peak of philosophy everything before it was intellectual masturbation and trying to answer useless questions..
Isaiah Moore

Well he looks better in real life. The top image is a mistake.
Noah Hill

William Lee
Is this bait or do you truly not understand the irony of what you just said?
this is a major cope, you dont really think that the dude on the bottom is the same dude right? I mean Ive heard about autistic faceblindness but you cant really believe that right? You can check every detail and theyre all off, nobody would for example photoshop away a pierced ear.
Lucas Sanders
This is I agree with this. Damn. Wasn’t expecting it. Coulda wrote this myself. Although chomsky’s US foreign policy work is pretty insightful
Zachary Ward
fuck off Peterson drone
Cameron Foster
Cicero was a total boss, he was the peak Roman stylist and an excellent rhetoritician. I don't care what you think of his philosophy, the man had true mastery over the arts of his time
Jacob Richardson
This thread made me realise something. The idea of a single continuum in "Western philosophy" is essentially Cartesian revionism, which has co-opted many non-rationalist thinkers to be little more than advocates of Cartesian rationalism.
Descartes Delenda Est
Ayden Stewart
Agreed
Benjamin Harris
Let’s be friends, OP
Brody Butler
>the james joyce of philosophy this is unironically true if you think about it
Anthony Campbell
Sartre was wrong on some issues but definitely not without huge merit. Very much worth reading
Zachary Nelson
based
Blake Long
>>Plato isn’t based >>Whitehead is based Oboy, you haven’t read Whitehead then I suppose
Elijah Baker
The worst thing about chads is that they're really nice dudes.
Anthony Gray
OP is a gigantic fag
Isaac Mitchell
disagree re: heidegger and freud
agree re: everything else also based re: virilio, but how can you call out heidegger for hating technology but not virilio?
Hudson Turner
Whitehead shits on Platonism
Andrew Edwards
stoicism is for cucks indeed
Brody Martinez
Came here to post this and thought I'd be the only one. Sartre's book Nausea actually has a great deal of literary merit and is a pulpy Steppenwolf, wouldn't avoid him if you're looking for a literary read.
I disagree with Russell and Chomsky. Producing Consent by Chomsky and On the Defense of Idleness and the Conquest of Happiness are all immensely helpful -yet not deeply philosophical- works.
look, i hate heidegger too, he was a nazi, a pleb and a shit writer, but he has some important concepts and his influence cannot be underestimated
Chase Butler
While I do not agree with everything on this list, I am encouraged that he did not mention Nick land in the "worth reading" category. Ahhh, the heated dreams of callow youth. One day he will regret this.
Andrew Roberts
How is stoicism for cucks if taoism is for chads. Taoism is just stoicism for gooks
Jeremiah Phillips

Xavier Baker
Not a single philosopher is worth reading if you don't have time to waste. The only way is René Guénon.
