aristotle

I unironically think Nick Land qualifies as an INTERESTING philosopher, if nothing else. Sure, he may be wrong about a lot, but there are plenty of philosophers worth studying who were wrong about a lot.

Is he a philosopher though? I always thought he was more of an interpreter of past wisdom to a wider audience in the same way alan watts was with eastern philosophy. I mean dont get me wrong I think he is great, but he isnt really presenting too many original ideas.

First and foremost he is a psychologist, so yes he is a philosopher.

To become 'great' in measure of ideological success the best measure is certainly associated with their ideas impact on the course of history
How much the course of history had on the development of that persons ideas is immeasurable itself - but we have to ask ourselves, who meets the criteria of global impact (greatness) and recency (latest)

One could look at contemporary pop philosophers like Zizek or Peterson but their impact is limited and we can expect it to stay so
We could also look at the classic authors this board discusses like Nietzsche and Marx, and they're certainly 'great philosophers' with global impact but are they really the latest?

Look at the world today - what ideological perspectives are most prevalent and also originating from at least the 20th century? I think the answer is clear

Banana tier is Protestantism/fedoraism/judaizerism. Sort of like the Orthodox jews and their law, or likewise, their lawlessness. Always one or the other.

If Catholicism is at the top then Protestantism should be at the bottom (as it should be.)

Asimov defined so much of what we defined about robots, and how we interact with non-organic entities that I'd argue he counts as an interesting philosopher.
