Appeal to a certain type of people, particularly stupid people, and you'll be worshipped as a god to them like Karl Marx. You could also just write about improbable but plausible ideas which will draw people to you.

You essentially have to be able to analyze broad social trends/ideas among different groups of people, be able to talk about the source or reason for these trends or ideas, predict how these trends or ideas might bring different groups into conflict, then pick a side and suggest your solution to these problems in a really idealistic way that will appeal to the group whose side you picked.

Ask yourself:
>"where are we now and what problems do we face?"
>"where should humanity be headed/what does the ideal society look like
>"How do we solve the problems that we currently face and create this ideal society"

You have to be able to present your ideals in a new and compelling way and you need to be able to set your ideas within the existing philosophical "timeline", this means preemptively responding to established arguments and criticisms, and directly responding to and pointing out flaws in the ideas of other philosophers.

It helps if you can find some new way to package your ideas, "nihilism, existentialism, solipsism" etc. Ideally you will want to create a new word/idea and market your whole "philosophy" around that word.

Not true at all. Epictetus was a slave but he did not allow that to restrain his mind.
