Spinoza is probably the lowest-test philosopher:
1) No libido
2) Fat
3) Hair loss
4) Looks tired and depressed
5) Weak
His books also represent a sterile, logical structure. Of course, i agree with spinoza on determinism and such.
He looks a bit like Harold Bloom, also low testosterone. Are there any high-testosterone philosphers?
1) High libido
2) Not fat, may be builtfat
3) Hairy
4) Full of energy and will to dominate
5) Strong
Their books would be like dynamite, very life-affirming.

High-testosterone guys can't think. They can attract women, sure, but they can't think. They belong in gyms and clubs, away from libraries and universities. To call Spinoza a low-testosterone thinker is to call him a clear thinker.

what's this thread about again?

uhh, why are you falling for the meme of destiny/astrology pretending to be science
literally kek tier
Heidegger Is high-test as fuck

There is literally not a philosopher as high test since the ancient greeks DESU

>>7379899
All right I'm totally sold. What is required reading before Heidegger?
Let's not kid ourselves; high test people usually aren't attracted to nerdy vocations. To be involved in the life of the mind you have to accept years of isolated study and contemplation. If you're high test, you'd need to have something wrong with you to want to do this (mental illness, poor environment, emotional trauma), because you'd need to ignore your "high libido" and the way you're "full of energy and will to dominate".

Kant/Hegel I guess. Sartre is good even though he came after, just so you'll be used to the phenomenologist writing style.

Have you seen the guy? He's fit. Mixed martial arts, swimming, snowboarding, etc. His writing style is also the most aggressive type of philosophy ever written. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he's killed a man before.
>>7379944
No, just being realistic. High-testosterone guys don't have the patience to be intellectuals. Their desires push them around in life. Is it that hard for you understand? Think about it. I'm not trying to disparage the "alphas" you so admire. The life of a high-testosterone male is probably a more exciting one. But it's different. They're not best suited to certain lifestyles, like the lifestyle of a writer.

This is what I mean. High-testosterone guys have a hard time communicating in a calm, dispassionate manner, as a great philosopher should, and they fail to see nuance so everything is put into simple categories. Since I'm not worshiping the "alphas" I'm therefore a "beta" who belongs on /r9k/. Nonsense! I suggest you get off my board.
Let's look at some modernist writers. There's high-test Hemingway, and then there's low-test Joyce and Proust. Two of these writers were much better than one.
what the fuck is this high test bullshit you guys are talking about and how is it relevant?
are there even serious studies about high testosrerone?
>>7380011
Proust >>>>>>>>>> the other two fuckwits
>>7380011
>they fail to see nuance so everything is put into simple categories.
Do you realize the MASSIVE irony of what you just wrote?
Testosterone boosts cognition. Suggested treatment for men with cognitive deficits and low T is testosterone replacement.
As for the Joyce, Proust and Hemingway, what was that thing you said about simple categories again?
>>7380011
You believe I intend to act how a 'great philosopher' should? You're a wetty lad. And Hemingway--high test?! Please don't talk such shite. Nay, I speak a' Caesar when I say high-test; I mean Plato; Mishima; Heidegger and Feynman. Joyce was nay a beta either; farts on a cock belong to a man with a will of rock.
>>7380060
>>7379925
Husserl's cartisean meditations is a good point to start understanding what kind of thing Heidegger is doing.
But its important to have understanding of kant/hegel/Nietzsche and the greeks as well.
Dont worry, he basically tells you what he is talking about while he goes though 'being and time'
Be warned he is a difficult read. really really difficult.

Joyce does get beta at times unfortunately. makes Ulysses hard to read for me at some points, but he has several high test moments as well.
He was probably beta+ irl. beta-ish but not accepting betahood

You do know that hair loss is actually increased by high test, right OP?
>>7382217
There is no corelation between the two.
Hair loss is dependant on the conversion of testosterone by an enzyme. It's the amount of enzymes that changes the amount of baldness.
>>7379899
heidegger was literally schizophrenic
>>7382234
You do know that you can have all the enzymes of the world, and would still need to have the substrate to make them work, right?
Also, higher test = higher enzyme function, ultill a certain threshold ofc.

>>7382534
no, /flit/ is /fit/ + /lit/,
It is the board where we talk about how muscly authors were and "could you wrestle Chretien de Troyes into the ground?"
Next there's /falit/ where we compare philosopher's moustaches.
Then of course /toylit/ where we discuss toy instruction manuals and shit
>>7382543
You can make threads about toy instruction manuals on /toy/ or /lit/, it's finding people to participate in the threads is the problem.
>>7382557
it's a joke you big goofus
also /toylit/ sounds like toilet
