    Please share your own unfair fun-poking at the towering intellects of our history.

    ----------------

    Socrates: first of all, he was pretty ugly. But there's worse. He also uses sophistry quite a lot in his dialogues. Dialogues which, by a benevolent stroke of luck, happened to be written by his pupil.

    Plato: seriously, Plato? The philosopher king? Don't you realise you just single-handedly created enlightened despotism in 360 BC?

    Aristotle: pretty deep, pretty systematic, but god, he could have done with a writing course. The dude has as much stylistic elegance as a lorry crushing a field of beautiful tulips.

    Plotinus: basically Plato, except he took LSD.

    Aquinas: wow, such 5 ways to prove the existence of God (not 4), much brilliant, very Catholic super intellect.

    Kant: even in heaven he keeps philosophising about the rational grounds for the colour of his pee. He wants to stop, but he Kant.

    Hegel: was clever enough to turn a middle school fallacy into a whole philosophical system.

    Kierkegaard: he thinks Abraham was awesome for being willing to murder his son, all in the name of 'faith in the voice of God'. Basically an early, foppish-Dane version of Bin Laden.

    Schopenhauer: believes in Nirvana but also that women were animals "with long hair and short ideas". Apparently Nirvana is only for men.

    Nietzsche: "If you go to meet woman, forget not thy whip". Being a virgin, he didn't know sex was possible without whips.

    Foucault: I'm sorry, but name a single under-age boy who would feel safe in a room with this guy.

    We don't need to poke fun at Foucault.

    The first chapter of The Order of Things does that all by itself.

    I think I'm still reading that fucking interminable analogy.

    Nine. Pages.

    Lmao. For some reason I can't remember that chapter at all, though I read the Order of Things in its entirety. Maybe it didn't impress me very much, or maybe I felt I was of too sound a mind and skipped it.

    I'll check your screenshot.

    "Do not care for this obnoxious analogy". :laughing::laughing::laughing:

    Clearly you were feeling strongly about it!

    It was such a slog for no payoff. What a pain.

    Now, the core of the book is another matter, and the whole thrust behind the concept of the episteme I thought was fantastic.

    Still, it was a relief to go back to one of Searle's slim little volumes after that, lol.

    Probably a joke, but didn't he lose his virginity in a brothel?

    The most pathetic philosopher out there is probably Max Stirner, wrote about being narcissistic and selfish and then ended up dying alone and sick.

    I think syphilis is only one hypothesis. Maybe @Sidis Coruscatis has got all the facts

    Like Kant. But not like Aristotle, who was happily married.

    This might be too horrible to mention but wasn't Socrates a pedophile?

    I think pederasty was more or less common practice at the time.

    But practically all elite Greek men were pederasts at the time, except maybe the Spartans (though I might be wrong about that).

    This isn't the set up to a joke. Now, what's the difference between a pedophile and a pederast?

    I don't know about Spartan pederasty, but weren't they bisexuals?
