Tesla or Nietzsche. Alan Watts was marvelous, as well as Terence McKenna, but how you could argue they are more intelligent than these two or many others I fail to understand.

>>731459797
might as well throw Dostoyevsky in there

which kind of muddies the waters, Nietzsche, Watts, Mckenna, and Dostoyevsky were all brilliant in very specific ways

as a general marker of intelligence?

My vote would have to go for Jung

>>731459951
Dostoevsky I would put on the same level of brilliance as Watts/TM, he was an exceptional story teller and NFU opened my mind to the possibility of others that felt like me at a time exist.

Jung is a good vote.

Carl Jung <3 So ahead of his time, if that is a thing.

Marcel Duchamp

>>731458795
Socrates, probably

>>731460434
Ah but then again, there is Plato. Like Terence McKenna said, all the rest of philosophic history is basically a footnote upon.

Tesla. some of the leaked notebooks are out there. Guy was beyond genius.

>terence mckenna
i resonate with many of his ideas and shit but sometimes he went pretty far out lol. but when he said "nobody knows what is really going on" it kinda confirmed that he wasn't a nutjob.

For you few fans, if you don't know him already, Jordan B. Peterson of the University of Toronto is a brilliant contemporary psychologist and mind.

If ever there was a chance for me to add a name to the list of classics, his would be my choice.

>>731461079

There is a fine line between genius and madness, basically Carl Jung reincarnate.

Thomas W. Campbell is another vote, if you haven't watched his talks, you owe it to yourself.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Aldous Huxley, close friend of Alan Watts as well if my memory does not fail me.

Nobody has put a single vote in for a female so far, haha! Guess my vote in that instance might go to Ayn Rand?

>>731459482
they killed him cause his dick was massive right?

>>731461587
yeah i have moved on from TM and have been listening to Ram Dass and a bit of this guy named Adyashanti

>>731461687
I have a strong bias for casting my vote for an ex-Nazi arms producer.

The other you've mentioned are extremely notable, the reason my vote is cast for who it is for is due to my bias towards how I perceive value. I'm passionate towards psychology and metaphysics, seems you are passionate about theoretical physics and such.

Which displays the fundamental problem with the subject of the thread, everyone's choice is going to be biased based on how they perceive "intelligent" value.

>>731462390

Christopher Hitchens

>>731458795
I dont know about *brilliant* mind.
Mr Watts never had any particularly profound thoughts of his own, merely paraphrasing schools of thought from other cultures into a form we would inderstand within ours.
Certainly a well read/travelled bloke, but brilliant mind seems a bit much.

>>731462648
Kurt Gödel?

>>731461953
Not exactly but pretty close. He talked with most of the noble women and probably boned some of them. Mainreason was he knew too much stuff.

Anon is the most brilliant autist I'd even seen. Tracking planes and stars to win capture the flag against shitty C list celebrities, awakening Egyptian gods, making fools of damn near everyone all the time.

Anon is truly the modern philosopher king of our age.

Anon the philosopher king! May his rule be long and prosperous!

Awakening Egyptian gods? Could you fill me in? Normtard here, had a life on the side so I haven't been able to keep on top of everything. Been keeping on top of the thots instead.

Probably Neil Degrassi Tyson or Bill Nye. Those two are the shit. Everytime they start talking science I'm blown anway.

Watts was a really great teacher. He never had any real profound ideas himself, but his explanation and teachings of zen philosophy for western audiences can't be discounted. He's almost single handedly responsible for bringing the teachings of D.T. Suzuki to western audiences and founding the first Buddhist temples in the US. I have spent hours and hours listening to this guy, having the most profound revelations and insights. His style is completely anti-dogmatic. He never really acts as if he is some brilliant person with amazing ideas. He simply points out the things that are in front of us at all times without us noticing.

>>731473574
Well said.
