Doesn't mean anything positive in regards to yourself. For one those ideas are usually usually exist in the zeitgeist because of the philosopher in question, meaning they had the actual intelligence to go against the grain, where you are merely adopting ideas that are floating about. And secondly (and much more importantly) to conflate your thought with the philosophers would be like saying wouldn't it be cool if we went to the moon, then after America having gotten to the moon claiming the amount of genius on your part is equal to the engineers and mathematicians you actually got us there. There is in reality only the vaguest similarity. The idea itself is impressive because it is thought out in a systematic way, far up and beyond anything you will ever do. The way the consider how this idea fits into their world view, how to defend it against the prevailing ideas of the time and how it changes other ideas is what makes the idea impressive.

I sincerely hope this is a joke.
Dude for real. I made a thread somewhere else about modest people being secretly shitty, and it turns out Schopenhauer said something similar (but worded better to make me feel even more shitty about it)
