      Gadamertards some academic name dropped him and some positive prejudice concept he had and it sounded cool. What background do I need to read him? Sole exposure to him was listening to some woman on youtube say he is great and magical in a 40 minute lecture

      Whilst I agree in some regard, he could have been more clear in his writing.

      I was under the impression they don't read any of the books in them, they are content creators who take 'polls' which means that the meme is already self-selected for reproducibility. They get the board to suggest which books are missing and where, then take on their suggestions. Which means that other anons are more likley to repost it.

    Probably...

    near modern: Thomas Jefferson

    old world: Emperor Hadrian

    since 'true' philsophy consists of being intelligent and putting the knowledge into practical politics,

    Hadrian gets the laurels as he was easily responsible for the most philosophy entering into civic life when he had idle philosophers ripped out of their bedrooms and put them into government offices to administer the state.

    Jefferson gets the near-modern laurels because he was arguably the largest intellectual mind that went into the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, which was fine before the later edits.

    I don't like to slick my own wiener and promote another thread I made only an hour ro so ago, but it got o attention anyway so..

    but I think John Wilmot, in all seriousness, qualifies,

    [...]

    >Your reason hinders, mine helps to enjoy,
    >renewing appetites yours would destroy.
    >My reason is my friend, yours is a cheat;
    >(when) hunger calls out, my reason bids me eat;
    >(whilst) perversely, yours your appetite does mock:
    >this asks for food, that answers, “What’s o’clock?”
    >This plain distinction, sir, your doubt secures:
    >’Tis not "true reason" I despise, but yours.

    as he makes distinctions on these kind of things, which still to this day live rent free in peoples heads without any resolution about.

    >a self-own.

    I have been owned
    I have been sold,
    I won by ticket to the supper bowl,
    I hold it out and I beseech,
    for heated broth from the Church Spoon that feeds,

    our families sold away our ancestors hard-earned estates
    to finance pleasure cruises gifting only poverty as our shared fates,

    here i sit in the future of presupposed delights;
    in unheated squalor, and nearby knife fights
    o'er paltry packages of sugary bread,
    "we don't need to learn no more," they said
    in twenty twenty two or such
    for the future is secured, and our greatness is much.

        That's pretty much the whole story. Wittgenstein was teaching a course on philosophy and one of his students dropped the course and left college after telling Wittgenstein that he'd realized that philosophy was a pointless waste of time and he had nothing of value to say. I believe Wittgenstein described him as the only intelligent philosophy student he'd ever met.

    Kant, Hegel, and Marx (only one who managed to beat philosophy)—in ascending order of intelligence and profundity—are the ones who really matter. Outside of them, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, and Derrida probably.
