Basically philosophers are all autists who don't take enough time to figure out where their thoughts are coming from and as such make blatant, massive fucking mistakes at the very root of their projects which was what allowed Nietzsche to do what he did, deconstruction of the entire philosophical project.
He's saying all those stuck up philosophers were actually all big dumb dumb heads except for me cause I'm better than them and also very knowledgeable.

Damn his mustache is so fucking big.
I think he meant that when you study philosophy you can lose sight of your authentic self. You think you are a man of knowledge and become blind to the way your true self influences your interpretation of knowledge and philosophy.
I think he was also saying that the same is probably true of himself.
That he had to speak in pretty aphorisms because otherwise nobody would pay attention to him, let alone constantly fight about what he meant.
He meant he is confused and wants to impose his confusion on you using masterfully crafted propaganda

What he means us this.
All Knowledge is Within Man and he who seeks knowledge outside of himself fails to know his own Truth, which is that He Alone Knows. Thou Art.
