ScazarMeltex 01/27/22 10:18:41 PM #61:	CervusCanadensi posted... Can you name a proper intellectual? Someone you look up to? There is no one I "look up to". People are people, they shouldn't be idolized or put on pedestals. That's part of the problem with people like Rogan and Peterson. Their followers are so fucking empty and hollow that they try and fill themselves with their ideas, but then when they turn out to be idiots about certain subjects, the follower can't allow themselves to acknowledge it because it means they've based their views on someone who doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about. So far as intellectuals whose writing I enjoy and whose ideas I generally agree with go I can give you a few. Marcus Aurelius if you can consider him one. Umberto Eco, Guy Debord (specifically his work Society of Spectacle), Bertrand Russell, Howard Zinn, Peter Kropotkin. Mostly though I'm a blue collar dude from blue collar background going back over a hundred years (There are people in my family tree that fought at Blair Mountain) so I mostly prefer the speeches or writings of early labor organizers or civil rights activists. Bill Haywood, Eugene V Debs, Bobby Seale, Fred Hampton. But again, they are just people, full of ideas, both good and bad. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:962139798] in How does C...

He also seems to have picked up some dumbass fringe beliefs along the way. What happens with these online political celebrities is, they cultivate an audience, and then the audience cultivates them. If you build yourself a brand as a certain type of thinker, deviation from that means potentially alienating your followers but probably won't gain you any new ones among people who know your previous work. The incentives are to give the people what they want - and become a caricature of yourself. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:962140265] in How does C...
