Embarrassing.

>>9104267
This.

OP, summarise in a sentence or two your favourite lesson you have gained from each of the nine thinkers.

These are my nine. Helped me stop being greedy and weak n shit.

>>9104270
>>9104275
Daniel Dennett is there for his views on memes and his view that religion is a dangerous meme. Rand is there more so for her ideas on self-interest than laissez faire capitalism.
Nick Land is there because Malthus couldn't forsee how capitalism would counteract the pitfall of increasing populations, and more likely as a population crash is that we will be ruled by capital and or machines.

rate

>>9104292
Dickhead/10

>>9104275
Ok, Francis Bacon is not that much of importance. Simply his idea that nature should be overcome is what shaped my own ideas, which can be connected to Malthus ideas and eventually Land. Timothy Morton is there because the culture and nature divide is fading away.

Hobbes is there because of his view on governance and so is Machiavelli. The first for his view on the populace, the second for his view on other politicians.

Nietzsche is there because we are coming closer and closer to the last man, if we are not already, but partly. There will not be Ubermensch and instead of a will to power there is a will to capital and increasing technology.

Eventually Malthus could be turned out to be right, but it matters whatever we overcome nature in the Baconian sense.

>>9104318
Continued:
Dennets idea of memes are important because dangerous memes could also bring us back into a Malthusian reality.
So it is important that memes like the will to capital and increasing technology prevail but the end result could still be a Landian future.

>>9106086
You can tell the philosophical fraud immediately from dislike of referencing anyone. But even Heraclitus gives names, at a time when there were barely any names to give. Entirely separate from the millennia-long philosophical and cultural traditions of all the nations, all the fraudsters, pretending to have never heard of anyone else, or of each other, or to have ever cared about the ideas and themes that all the world's greatest thinkers have cared about. And in a sense, it's true. They really don't care about the issues that the thinkers they have plagiarized have cared about. They only care about fame and money, and they go about acquiring them in such a vile and fraudulent fashion that I'd even take the gratuitous name-droppers and hipster intellectuals over them. These mangle the great thinkers too, of course, but at least they respect them enough to mention them.

>>9106187
There is, of course, a lot of merit in the ongoing nature vs. nurture debate, but only for the purposes of practical, everyday applications. For as to the ultimate solution of the dispute, that's already settled. No research or experiments are needed: it is a simple philosophical problem whose solution I can provide with barely 5 seconds of thinking. So yes, culture does indeed influence human development, but who creates culture in the first place, if not humans themselves, and therefore human biology and genetics? It is true that SOME DAY our culture will hopefully get to the stage of directly determining our descendants' genetics, as opposed to leaving them up to the crapshoot of sexuated procreation, but even when that day arrives, it will still be our initial genetics that created the culture that reached the point of being able to directly influence our genetics (as opposed to, for example, the culture of African baboons or Greenlandic Inuits or whatever). In other words, the past, the past, the past, and nothing but the past: The moral in all this is that you can't flee from your past, gentlemen and gentlewomen, no matter how dearly you would like to! (which is what all appeals to the supremacy of culture over biology ultimately amount to). There are no "blank slates" or "new beginnings" — these conceptions are merely the delirious hallucinations of the genetically weak and culturally desperate among us: every step forwards and upwards will necessarily have to be built on every other step taken hitherto — all the way back to the Big Bang — and no wishful thinking or verbal gymnastics have ever or will ever suffice to make up for any deficiencies there. Or do you find that surprising the realization that the ultimate structural soundness of a building depends, first and above all, on the structural integrity of its foundations?

Yes I am so I'm very disadvantaged when it comes to virtually all my favourite authors. Junger is probably my all time most influential. I scrape everything I can that has ever been translated. I've read Eumeswil three times, the Glass Bees twice and Storm of Steel twice as well. I also tracked down a copy of Aladdin's Problem. On Pain and On the Marble Cliffs have all been read a few times as well. Is Junger still well known in Germany?

Uuum... Yes you did not need to write 500 words to make that point. But what's your argument? That we should just accept genetic determinism even though we know it to be half the picture?

This is my biggest problem this conservative mentality, why do you want to draw a line in the sand and pretend like we will not continue moving forward? We can now take control over genetic and environmental factors in creating ourselves as a continually evolving species.

>>9106877
>Jesus and Bernays on the same list
Hmmm

>>9106884
Both have shaped my thinking. I don't like what Bernays did... Stating that he didn't do any damage would be a lie - preferable one, mind you.

>>9106861
Eumeswil is my favourite, but that may be the pleb talking in me. It screams retro sci-fi.

His fame has somewhat diminished since his death and his books are never touched upon in school (which is a shame as his prose is rather simple) but I think he is still thought of as one of the most prolific German writers of the 20th century. He has a cult following among new right types like the identitarians due to his involvement with nationalist activists in the 1920s. They don't do him justice though.

I didn't mention it but I also love his idea of the anarch. He stole that concept from Stirner

Would be just a square picture of Vico, honestly

>>9106924
I actually like the post-war Junger better than the pre-war one. I disagree with his Arbeiter borderline Futurist view of the ideal society he had. I do like Storm of Steel. War as existential experience is fantastic. In the English speaking world all we ever hear is moping. I agree Eumeswil is great. It was the first of his works I read and it made a big impression. His view on the world and our place in it has basically become my own. Though it seems like the anarch is basically a tweaked "unique one" I think the anarch is almost Daoist. It goes beyond simple egoism I think. Contrasting The Glass Bees to Der Arbeiter really shows how much WW2 changed him.

I wish I knew German I feel I can never really appreciate him through translations. Not to mention so much is totally inaccessible to me

No you didn't, you simply say that you can't ever get away from it, or get rid of it. That says nothing of where to go to now. Using your building analogy, that's like saying that the entire building must look identical to and have the same functionality as the foundations - which would defeat the entire purpose of having a building in the first place.

>>9106954
Good luck with getting decent translations. I can only imagine how horrible it must have been to get a decent version of Storms of Steel. Jünger was infamous for reediting the book over a dozen times.

But determined means that where to go is already determined, we just don't know what it will be until it happens.

>Using your building analogy, that's like saying that the entire building must look identical to and have the same functionality as the foundations - which would defeat the entire purpose of having a building in the first place.

>>9107080
>determined means we have no choice
I know, and that's why I said it has got to stop. At its core, the conservative position of determinism is an absolvence of responsibility.

>cannot build an Eiffel tower on paper legs
So you're saying that the genetic/social foundations were currently have would not permit... what exactly? What exactly is it that you think is out of our reach?

>>9107099
>At its core, the conservative position of determinism is an absolvence of responsibility.
Only for its followers, the leaders like it this way so that they can take full responsibility and push the determinism position into whatever direction they want. Then their followers excuse them because "it was meant to happen anyway." First it was will of God, now it is Will of Genes (or both, or whatever deterministic philosophy they can get their hands on). The irony is that conservative followers think people in other camps are being cucked but the conservatives are the ultimate cucks because their leaders don't actually share the deterministic values they instill in their followers. It's bizarre to watch.

>>9107099
>determined means we have no choice
That's false. I specifically said that we largely don't know what will happen until it does. Because of that there are no absolving factors.. people have to make choices because they are determined to do so. Interpreting it as necessary resignation is retarded.

>So you're saying that the genetic/social foundations were currently have would not permit... what exactly? What exactly is it that you think is out of our reach?
I originally said in everyday discourse the genetic/cultural dichotomy may have good arguments in both sides, but that I was talking about the ultimate conclusions. I'm not going to provide you with a specific example, firstly when I wasn't thinking of any, and secondly because it seems clear to me that you only want me to do so in order to feel offended or to refute it, a sad attempt to deny the ultimate truth.

>determined means we have no choice
>that's like saying that the entire building must look identical to and have the same functionality as the foundations
Also I didn't say either of these two things. I'm going to stop responding now since you're clearly too mentally challenged to be able to respond to someone else without imagining they said what you wish they had said.

Demotism is a pointless term. I'm also against democracy but conflating it with dictatorships is stupid. I also don't see value in egalitarianism. I do not think it should be forced but I also do not think a hierarchy should be either.

>universalism

That doesn't mean what you think it does.

>Why do progs psychoanalyze opponents instead of arguing against ideas?

Because I guarantee that your views are preformed based on your emotions. You shouldn't take political views that match your natural human emotions, you should strive to find facts and values that may not sit well with you but are none the less the right values to hold.

Spengler, Jung, and Dr. Jordan Peterson

>>9107894
>Demotism is a pointless term. I'm also against democracy but conflating it with dictatorships is stupid.

No, it is a great term because it allows for philosophically-rigorous differentiation between traditional monarchy and progressive dictatorships (which normies often erroneously conflate).

>That doesn't mean what you think it does.

What does it mean for you?

>Because I guarantee that your views are preformed based on your emotions. You shouldn't take political views that match your natural human emotions, you should strive to find facts and values that may not sit well with you but are none the less the right values to hold.

Well, i'm Hispanic, so my journey towards accepting HBD and some ethnat ideas was a lot of that.

>>9107918
>No, it is a great term because it allows for philosophically-rigorous differentiation between traditional monarchy and progressive dictatorships (which normies often erroneously conflate).

The fact that those two things have different names and clearly explicitly different definitions allows for a clear differentiation between them. You are the one doing the conflating, not normies. Not that most of them would touch reactionary philosophy with a 10 foot long pole anyway.

>What does it mean for you?

That all souls are loved by God. It's a religious term.

>Well, i'm Hispanic, so my journey towards accepting HBD and some ethnat ideas was a lot of that.

>>9107025
Wish you the best of luck there. I would recommend a pre-war translation if you can find one. Jünger erased most nationalist references from later editions. This constitutes an almost Orwellian act against himself if you ask me. How can we hope to understand the general interwar sentiment from a self-censored version?

>>9107805
Only a few of them seem questionable to me (Hilter [for obvious reasons], Schopenhauer [depending on which of his views you were influenced by], the lower two extremities I do not recognize).

As long as these are your genuine influences, after study of myriad perspectives and searching in the genuine spirit of truth-seeking, and not simply born out of a desire to entrench yourself in a perceived ideological category, then good for you.

You be you, dude.

Maybe rethink Hitler, though. There has to be another influence who isn't so tainted with violence and intolerance.

Another thought striking me is that the majority of people with real autism are suffering from emotion defecits, not next-level intelligence. In fact, often they are flagged because their education suffers from a lack of good communication and comprehension skills.

The people running these computer algorithms to support evolutionary models seem so convinced that evolution works at an individual level, rather than with collectives. It's such a large blind spot.

Hegel isn't left-wing at all. Left-wingers just appropriated him.

>>9110125
would you call the prussian state "left-wing"?

whom on this board has a higher power level

>>9110177
>philosophers of power

>>9104225
Vygotsky, Bekhterev, Marx, and Malcom X.

>>9106822
I'd recommend reading his philosophical stuff like On Practice and On Contradiction, and if you're interested in war On Protracted War and On Guerilla Warfare are pretty good. What's also good is that a lot of his stuff is written to appeal to workers and peasants in 1930s China, so a lot of the language is simplistic and easy to digest and understand if you already have a background in Marx and Lenin.

bump. This is a fun game and needs to be a regular occurring thread.

>>9106325
I like what I see. Who is top left, bottom left, bottom right?

Agree 100%, genetics are the root, culture is the flower. The question is how do we cull the weak without resorting to genocide? The most "moral" way is pay undesireables to steralize themselves, and desireables to reproduce- but nobody will accept this. The common man cannot see as far ahead as the visionary, and in their ignorance they think him evil rather than wise. I feel like we're trapped in a fatalistic cycle, the plebes will never do what is necessary to avert disaster- they'll just beg for deliverance when armaggedon comes

thats Scott Alexander taking Moldbug apart
Then he proceeded to pretty much align with Moldbug and neo-reactionary thought every single subsequent blog post, but not really admitting it.
Its quite the piece of work.

sans memes

Franz Kafka
Bertrand Russell
Aldous Huxley
Andre Gide
William Burroughs
Gore Vidal
Marcel Proust
Harold Bloom
Charles Dickens

nothing particularly special.

I'm surprised these threads aren't a more regular occurrence here, considering their self congratulatory allure and potential for vainglorious claims.

None of you post (or think) like you have studied any of these thinkers, let alone read any of their writings.

Can't be arsed to do a chart but here are my top nine:

Deleuze
Kafka
Proust
Martin Heidegger
Louis-Ferdinand Céline
Meryvyn Peake
Kant
Hegel

>>9104264
Is Joe Rogan a leftist radio host, like a anti Molyneux, or just some regular guy who pokes fun at people blinded by ideology? I've never seen his podcasts. I see Sam Hyde takes shots at him in his show and on MDE, I assume, for this very reason, that he bucks the whole Libertarian tide of opinions, which are so in vogue right now.

>>9117964
He identifies himself as a libertarian. Though he mostly is a left leaning moderate.

Download all 9 portraits you need.
Open each in separate paint.
Open a new paint.
Change the resolution of the new paint to be something divisible by three.
900x900, 1200x1200 etc.
Change the resolution of each portrait to be a third of your new paint. Remember to apply this to both dimensions.
>Ctrl + a in a portrait
>followed by Ctrl + c
>followed by Ctrl + v in 'new paint'
Repeat process nine times.

>>9119012
Check if you can think. Just ask yourself if you think.
If no answer comes, "you" don't need to be worried.
If an answer comes, you need to roll a query on the 9 most influential thinkers who have shaped your thinking. Google every person for their respective portrait. Then go check those trips again.

>>9117937

I actually find the lists of others very interesting in terms of the conceptual grouping of influences. For example, the ones on my list

>>9116949
OK nobody commented but it is all data for the pool. By the way, in thinking of influences, my list was more or less sequential over the course of my formative years ... but if you're not going to accept what's posted as truth, why even bother reading the thread, let alone commenting?

Preparing 3x3 images? What time wasters! Some of the sets I recognise no one - but with the lists of names, most I can place at least. And I sure don't have idle time to bother googling every image FFS ...

>>9107003
Worthless.

From top, left to right
Hobbes for his realistic views on church and state
Diogenes for first making me interested in philosophy during my teens; also continuously blowing Platon the fuck out
Wittgenstein was on par with Gödel on my thought with logic but I took Wittgenstein in the end, since I love the Philosophical investigations so much
Nietzsche for being so poetic while throwing out some of the most life-affirming and vitalising self-help tips & tricks
Marx for comprehending the politics in the contemporary world and what is wrong with them
Kauffman for his work on emergence and the fight against reductionism
Aquinas for his aesthetic writings; both in their form and essence
Heidegger for Dasein and the follies of modern man
Linkola for his balanced understanding of the Earth and critique of modernity
