Whatever happened to philosophers? Why don't philosophers exist anymore...

The fall of Rome killed philosophy.

Rise of TV and radio = mass media is now for plebs = pop culture is low IQ goyslop. Between the French Revolution and WW1 "pop culture" to the degree it existed was transmitted in newspapers, journals, gazettes etc. by and for the (compared to us) highly literate and cultured bourgeois middle class, such that celebrity was more the domain of artists and philosophers than actors and athletes

I love anime so much!

there's no need for moar of them until large events that shake up world order happen, OP's pic laid out everything alrdy. All the philos who came after him just re-interpret re-apply modernize etc. his thoughts.

These generations best philosophers are probably novelists.

Moldbug
Kaczynski

This faggot was overrated. Osho was better as was Kahlil Gibran.

Likely because most modern day philosophers are just mashing up ideas from past philosophers. It really does take ingenuity to bring new ideas into the world. And I mean new, not your "let's combine X with Y and call it Z".

Hegel reduced all future philosophers to literary critics. People in that field would rather sift through his nonsense for decades than come up with a unique idea of their own.

And then to compound the issue, after the war(s) those who fancied themselves philosophers became increasingly cloistered in haughty circles of people being overly intellectual for its own sake as a way to differentiate themselves from the plebs, leading first to obscurantist fart sniffing like the mid-century French and then the current situation where "professional philosophers" basically just produce content for other professional philosophers, i.e., overwrought crystal towers of impenetrable nonsense in order to fulfill the academic imperative of "publish or perish"

Jordan Peterson

Not saying I like him, but Jordan Peterson was the first person that came to mind for modern philosopher.
Chomsky probably fits the bill as well.

Chomsky is fucking pathetic

We figured everything out thousands of years ago. Philosophy has always just been rediscovering the profound ancient wisdom we've lost, and then communicating it to people. This is exactly what Jordan Peterson does and the world hates him for it, because we do not want to remember the profound ancient wisdom, we want to bury it forever and build our own reality, which will never work. Maybe the next civilization will learn from our mistakes.

maybe it came to a dead end where people have been mulling over the same questions for thousands of years without really getting decisive answers and there's little new to say so natural science seems like a more promising field of study at this point of time
similar to how music and visual art seem to be dead in the 21st century, though it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be that way forever

The last actual philosophers were Socrates, Plato & Aristotles
The rest are just kikes spreading lies & degeneracy
The world saw this when french (((philosophers))) voted to remove the age of consent somewhere around the 70’s
Then coincidentally after this, “philosophers” stopped existing

you forgot to say pic unrelated.

Richard Spencer is one but you faggots are just too up your own collective retarded asses to see it.

Slavoj Zizek
Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Druggie Faggot who doesn't live by what he believes
