Pick only one:
>become the greatest philosopher
or
>become the greatest fiction/non-fiction writer

Why choose only one?

Bachelors in philosophy is worth/more meaningful than a career as a writer. Writers are literally all just pseuds.

And philosophers aren't?

> Tenniscuck
> Philosopher

The fuck?

Philosophy (western) forms the base for western culture and scientific progress. What are writers, else than artists and entertainers? Artists further do art not for you, but for themselves. Its literally just therapy without an therapist.

Lmao. As an great philosopher you are already a decent writer + you got brains.

Lmao. As a great writer you are already a decent philosopher + you got heart.

if anybody feels like perspiring, I'd invite you to go ahead, because I'm sure going too...

Neither. The price to pay is not something I am willing to spend.

> great writer = good philosopher

Well memed

Decent*

You must like dicks, user.

I'd rather pick dubs

So close!

>pick these ones instead

too bad, I get dubs instead

puny dubless savages

PHILOSOPHERS ARE THE GREATEST WRITERS THERE COULD EVER BE. ALL WRITING IS IMPLICITLY - AND WITTINGLY OR OTHERWISE - PHILOSOPHICAL.

PIC' RELATED: GOAT.

AND HE EVEN GOT DUBS

THREAD OVER EVERYONE, WE HAVE A WINNER

Witty, as a writer, was the GOAT because he knew when to shut his fucking mouth. The main concern of his philosophy was when people should shut their cocksuckin' fuckin' motherfuckin' goddamn fuckin' shit-eatin' mouths 'cuz Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt.

And, of course: Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darĂ¼ber muss man schweigen.

bye, Pynchon

What's the price?

I don't think that in this sentence, the term Sprache shouldn't be reduced to language/expressions that can be written down at once

Like that woman in twelve chairs.

Being a great writer would require a lot of effort, fuck that. Socrates didn't write SHIT, he just bummed around Athens shouting at people, chilling with his homies and just having a fucking good time. Philosopher every time.

>What's the price?

I'll put about as much thought into the answer as you do with the question.

forgot 'spook'

>Actual Scientific progress
>Philosophy

...

writer

i don't care about being right

> whiny Kierkegaardian who ironically likes that people believe in God

he was a hack

"waaaaah why does no one understand me?" - l. wittgenstein, 'philosopher'

It's like you guys aren't even trying

This is pathetic

>"waaaaah why does no one understand me?" - l. wittgenstein, 'philosopher'
Right....

Both philosophy and fiction are bullshit but at least the latter doesn't pretend not to be so I'm going with that.

Being a famous philosopher must like being afraid to be found out any moment.

You are.
Also, em'

>the only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing
Socrates was pretty honest

he was the exception to the rule desu, along with a few other sceptics

>know nothing
>??????
>become greatest philosopher

no one says farts

Nice logic. Its like Aristotle didnt invented it all sometimes.

you're right, "farties" is what we say here

Come on guys it's not so hard to get dubs

logic is self-defeating lad

Being a Shakespeare seems funner than being an Aristotle so I'll go with that.

I do.

Fiction writer, I'll write a book and then study philosophy all day because I'm rich.

>implying great fiction writers become rich

If you were the greatest that ever lived, sure.
And it would be no problem for you to churn out some pleb money makers on the side

>everyone, including Bloom, agrees that someone's finally surpassed Shakespeare
O god yes
