I didn't mean literally it's just one interpretation of Allegory of the Cave (AotC for short) could be 'hey we're philosophers we're pretty awesome other people not so much' (this message paid for by the philosophy foundation and viewers like youj)

also Plato probably was a weird kooky guy because everyone who was halfway smart is retconned as having ass burgers

Edit: I love imagining random historical figures this way though like just some random loser who got lucky and not like a SAGE or whatever... or kind of weird and rambling like me and maybe he had some random speech impediment

Edit: forgot what wiki article I was reading but Issac Newton believed in chemtrails or something

Edit: I'm serious just he had a different theory like if you rearrange the Bible 57 times it spells "Barney the singing cat" or something I assume like BIBLE SECRETS or whatever

Some of the old philosophers are really great characters. One of my favourites is Fichte (first names Johann Gottlieb, (Gottlieb! (it translates to Love of God and sounds awesome in German))) who always boasted to his pupils that the only man who ever really understood his writings was Kant, and even he got it wrong most of the time. Like he was famous for writing deliberately obscure texts apparently trying to mimick Kant's style (he was Kant's pupil) and then boasted about how nobody understood them.

Or there was this thing in the early 20th century called the Wien circle, a bunch of positivists who basically thought that everything that isn't empirical science is bullshit and science can solve all problems and all this metaphysics and aesthetics and whatnot is complete bullshit. Wittgenstein was their eternal champion for his "most philosophical problems are only problems of language" stuff and I have always imagined (this is actually something me and Ramci made up once) these douchebag Wien circle guys holding their meetings and inviting Wittgenstein who is kinda embarrassed all the time and trying say "Ummmm, guys, that's not what I said at all" and they just insist that he shut up and have some more wine, the greatest thinker of our time, our hero!



Ahahhaha, I was right, I just hit Vienna circle in wikipedia and found this:

" - - Ludwig Wittgenstein, whose Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus formed the basis for the group's philosophy[1] (although Wittgenstein himself insisted that logical positivism was a gross misreading of his thinking, and took to reading poetry during meetings of the Vienna Circle)."

Welp, apparently my older brother is going to prison (with a max of 5 years, that is all I've been told on length) and my family decided to keep this information from me all summer. My little brother filled me in, he was on these drugs (prescribed I think originally) and he abused the hell out of them. They made him act like a crazy angry mean drunk. This intensified when he drank and took them. They also made him lose his memory of an entire week of his life. (took the family van to collect the drugs after crashing his own car, lying and manipulating to get access to it, saying horrible things to everyone and getting into a serious fight with a close friend, forgeting about all of these events later. apparently, on the day he "came to" though it was a Monday, when it it was actually the Friday of the next week. He did however remember how he gave my sister some of them and bizarrely enough brought that fact up when the police where in our house.

My little brother got a letter from him recently. I haven't read it yet.

maybe they didn't want to ruin his summer if he was away on a trip or something, or it just didn't feel right to say it until he was back. i can understand that, something similar happened to me although not as high-impact a relative as a brother. that's a shame about what happened.
