Are transcendentalism and egalitarianism incompatible?
Even after reading Civil Disobedience three times I still don't see it, but I keep getting told that they clash.
Individualism and egalitarianism are compatible, so why not transcendentalism?

This guy >>8632504 was answering it for you, that's the mindset of transcendatlists and that's why IMO Thoreau and Emerson are complete assholes, they're not even honest about their assholeness like Nietzsche is. Their mindset is basically "Everyone's a pleb except for me ... HAHA look at these dumb intellectuals, I bet they don't even take walks like me KEK." The perfect /lit/ philosophers.
