Were all of those ancient philosophers just shitposters trying to be as contrarian as possible? Did they only gain traction because of their (anti)charisma and the smug way they presented their beliefs?

Picture quite related. I don't know OP, maybe they were.

this is a pretty epin meme
to answer your question OP back in the day you had nothing to do and no internet to post and waste time on so some people just thought a lot and turned all those weird thoughts into actual ideas
like imagine you sit in the shower and think about things and you come up with ideas on how they work that's like back then except then hey shared those ideas instead of forgetting them as soon as they went back to their computer or tv or whatever

no that's all philosophers after the ancients. the Ancients were cool dudes, all the Renaissance and medieval philosophers were gay posers

I fear the day charisma is synonymous with conforming
humans are just meatsacks that are desperately trying to interpret the world around them through meat and it's very frustrating because we aren't made of things that can perceive reality very well, so we have to make up a lot of shit to fill in the gaps
