Niccolo Machiavelli

“Of mankind we may say in general they are fickle, hypocritical, and greedy of gain.”

"For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearance, as though they were realities and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are"

Sigmund Freud:

"I have found little that is good about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all."

My favorite is probably Thomas Sowell.  I don't know if he would call himself a philosopher though. 

Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.


Another one is H. L. Mencken

Don't have one, they all have flaws.

For example, someone quoted Russell on another thread. Russell was an incurable romantic who thought education would solve everything and technology would enable humans to work less hours per day.

And Nietsche's various mental afflictions clearly show through his work... not to mention what a rabid misogynist he was.

"right now i decided to do one arm pushups and pullups in the pm only everyday, i save dumbell lunges for the morning everymorning. In order for me to get that pm workout in i need some flavorble food like 4 to six krispy kremes but ill eat it with alot of raw kale greens or raw turnip greens. this will be good for absorbing the vitamins since vitamins need fat and yogurt in the system, i have yogurt along with grits everymorning. a shitload of beans and bread for lunch. leafy greens 3-4 times a day and dark grapes and carrot juice everyday"


Johnny Falcon
"turnip greens are the next level down from kale greens but MUCH MORE EASIER TO CONSUME RAW than kale, cause they are not as dense and dry.

they taste great with orange juice or kale. Just bite huge chunks of turnips and drank some juice

you feel the energy almost IMMEDIATLEY.

"hahaha yes it's true, there are many things that Jean Francois has lifted above the head


let me tell you these things:

a boat

a fiat

a carton of water bottles


to me this is just another day of lifting things above the head. Yesterday Jean Francois did 6 sets of lifting things above the head, utilizing weider principle 9 *negatives*

It was while Jean Francois was holding 17 phone books above the head that Pauline the personal trainer with a cert iv in boxing instruction noticed the packet of Du Maurier king size tucked into the pant.

Jean Francois has learned the ancient art of cumming with one testicle at a time, I could cum now from my left testicle and then cum from my right in a week if I so please, however




I please to cum now from both testes inside Pauline's shit shoot


Jean Francois throws the phonebooks against the mirror and removes the custom 'I am Jean Francois' lifting belt, releasing the stomach of desire from its clutches.

Pauline suffers a dizzy spell



Jean Francois lets her fall












Pauline awakens, her ass filled with two testicles worth of Jean juice and a cigarette behind her ear.

Uberman

Girls and sons who have not been loved by their fathers seek attention once teens and adults to compensate for what they didnt have originally. Fathers either left them alone, or were distant most of the time and not encouraging them. Some even despised them which would shape their personality and the way they d interact with others for the rest of their life.
They are extremistic in everything they do, always looking exageratly for attention, and have troubles adapting to society's rules, because they also have troubles defining their own identity and respecting authority and hierarchy.

Also boys who got picked on by others during childhood and adolescence -often sons without a father figure- try to compensate by lifting weights, to develop muscles and survive in ther male world. They re insecure because they re girly, childish, feminine having been raised by a single mom. They lift obsessively hoping it will transform them into men, to compensate for their lack of influence from a father figure that was not there. Unfortunaltey they can get as big as they can it doesnt cure their insecurity and who they truly are, how they grew up being raised by a single mom. They re no as manly as other men whatever they do, and they often have a big lack of masculine presence they dont know how to balance, hence often being borderline homosexuals while trying to get their manhood back thru various manly activities (mma, cars, weight lifting etc). They are often the ones that, in order to get respect from other males will go the steroids route to get even "bigger" attemptint to cure their insecurity , but being natural not being "enough", they still feel "too small", insecure, amongst other males. The lack of a father figure also often means they didnt have guidance to continue studies and are often working shitty manual jobs.

V - " Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. "

Oh, ok. To me, 'hopeless romanticism' sounded more like a personality flaw rather than anything to do with Russell's Theory of Descriptions or some such (i.e., any actual philosophical work).

Nitpicking about the examples your provided aside, I think you're absolutely right that all the big names in philosophy have their limitations or outright follies, insights notwithstanding. But I still don't think there's anything inherently "absurd" in picking a favorite philosopher on the basis of their having more insights than others, or perhaps having an insight that is central to one's belief system, like a crown jewel (or, central to a specific sub-portion of one's belief system).

E. M. Cioran, his aphorisms are just great.

“Suffering makes you live time in detail, moment after moment. Which is to say that it exists for you: over the others, the ones who don't suffer, time flows, so that they don't live in time, in fact they never have.”

“In most cases we attach ourselves to God in order to take revenge on life, to punish it, to signify we can do without it, that we have found something better, and we also attach ourselves to God in horror of men."
