Why do Western “intellectuals” take these dumb poses when photographed? Don’t they realize it looks ridiculous, stupid and astronomically comical? What goes through their mind when they take these dumb pictures.

The idea is that you get someone else to do it when you don’t expect it so that you aren’t purposefully trying to appear this way, because then you would have to feel stupid

Photographer asked him to go outside to use some sunlight. The wind blew his matted sweaty locks. He needed a haircut and shower. He knows he’s not photogenic, but he insisted on using natural light just this once. His mind clearly on what he was just reading and what he plans on reading at dinner later.

Probably the photographer's instructions. An attempt at a candid shot.

If I was an intellectual I'd take a photo like this. I'd keep on jumping over and over until the photographer captured me perfectly jumping in mid air. I'm not an intellectual though, I just pretend to be one on the internet. But if I was an intellectual, I'd look just like this.

There's not a single uncool photograph of Wittgenstein, it's quite strange.
