dont read about beauvoir and sartre

Marx didn't make moral statements you fags.

The only real human beans to ever live were Diogenes of Sinope, Siddharta Gautama, Jesus Christ, Mahomet, Zyzz and Elliot Rodger.

My favourite rebuttal to this pertains to Schopenhauer:

>The British philosopher and historian Bertrand Russell deemed Schopenhauer an insincere person, because judging by his life:
>"He habitually dined well, at a good restaurant; he had many trivial love-affairs, which were sensual but not passionate; he was exceedingly quarrelsome and unusually avaricious. ... It is hard to find in his life evidences of any virtue except kindness to animals ... In all other respects he was completely selfish. It is difficult to believe that a man who was profoundly convinced of the virtue of asceticism and resignation would never have made any attempt to embody his convictions in his practice."

>Bryan Magee points out that "the answer to such shallow, but not uncommon criticism" is found in a quotation from Schopenhauer:
>"It is therefore just as little necessary for the saint to be a philosopher as for the philosopher to be a saint; just as it is not necessary for a perfectly beautiful person to be a great sculptor, or for a great sculptor to be himself a beautiful person. In general, it is a strange demand on a moralist that he should commend no other virtue than that which he himself possesses. To repeat abstractly, universally, and distinctly in concepts the whole inner nature of the world, and thus to deposit it as a reflected image in permanent concepts always ready for the faculty of reason, this and nothing else is philosophy."

Also, another opportunity in which Bertrand Russell proved himself to be the cunt of philosophy.
