Benji was burnt coal, as it were; that's not a sane white man.
Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci, Goethe, Hegel
>>62554964
i mean he basically started a cult and had people taste his flesh and blood. he definitely said some cool stuff but looking at some of the things he's said and done he can definitely seem a lil nuts
>>62555047
>had people taste his flesh and blood
>symbolism is crazy
>>62555071
Catholics argue the bread and wine is his body and blood though
>>62555047
Isn't that because the language at the time relied a lot more on poetical figures of speech than we do today?
The question would be, then, what having such thoughts does to us psychologically and pragmatically.
>>62555134
Yeah, so? He's not making them argue that.
name one genius whose fans say "ain't"
>>62555154
the Catholic vision of Christ (the one i was raised on) makes him seem a little crazy, then.
>>62555146

>>62555001
Aristotle was schizophrenic and pretended to have conversations with his mentor after he was long gone
>>62555319
BITCH QUIT LETTING PEOPLE INTO YOUR FRIDGE
AND WHATVE YOU DONE WITH THE BLEACH
>>62555047
i dont get why so many people make a big deal out of the flesh and blood thing. even since i was a kid i have understood it as symbolism
>>62555431
Didn't Henry Ford think the Jews were plotting global takeover?
>>62555484
Edison was merely an asshole and what Aristotle did is regular behavior, internalizing other personalities for dialectical purposes. You're stretching.
>>62554291
this guy
>>62555563
oh god here we go
>>62555553
ya i feel you. a lot of people interpret the bible weirdly literally it's strange
>nobody here has actually named any geniuses aside from einstein, hawkins and newton
John von Neumann
>>62555563
Let's assume he did. Does that, by itself, make him crazy, or is it just one crazy belief of the type most people have if you scrutinize their thoughts?
Not all geniuses were crazy but all of them probably did have an eccentric trait in them.
>>62555563
>Crazy
>>62555431
>Ford
Dude was a sociopath through and through.
>>62554252
Syd Barret
>>62555653
Most people have an eccentric trait in them. We just don't give a fuck about most people.

he also spat in the dirt an smeared it on peoples' eyes to heal them. And flipped over a bunch of tables in a temple and chased everyone out.
>>62555666
>muh sociopathy
Doesn't make you crazy
>>62555770
>flipped over a bunch of tables in a temple and chased everyone out.
to be fair it was cuz they desecrated the temple
>spat in the dirt and smeared it on peoples' eyes
ya you got a point
>>62555896
The point being that a superstition qualifies someone as insane? Hardly.
>>62555738
Getting this triggered over someone who affected several branches of philosophy.
If we're gonna have such loose standards, then we might as well include pretty much everyone. There's no stark difference to qualify geniuses as more insane than the general populace and, in fact, it might turn out that they're better at getting rid of stupid beliefs than the average.
Kanye is nowhere near a genius. Do not believe his lies.
>>62554612
Albert einstein was crazy tho
>>62554612
nice try with these fambo
>>62554612
Dude, Mozart was autistic as fuck.
>>62554849
Nick Drake
>>62555001
I don't know. Da Vinci had some strange OCD problems and never ever finished anything.
THe only exception was the Last Supper, really.
>>62556263
That would be more like ADHD problems, no? He was interested in far too much. If I had a mind as versatile as his, I would do the same.
But he did complete several designs. Recently found this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS9c76V4RDE
Lady Gaga
>>62556263
But there's a risk in exaggerating the severity of such issues. Everyone has some measure of something that could be qualified as a disorder if we apply such loose standards.
>>62554252
Claude Shannon
I dunno, what's up with Leonard Cohen? He have any weird shit I should know about?
>>62556358
Holy shit that's awesome.

Depression. Used Zen Buddhist meditation to take care of it.
>>62556387
What has Lady Gaga done recently?
>>62554612
not gr8 choices m8
Of the people I know here, Beethoven was known as the "Black One" because he was vulgar and refused to follow royal etiquette. Ben F. was at the least very eccentric, and spent most of his life fucking French prostitutes and becoming the fattest man in the western hemisphere. Einstein, goofy posters and pics aside, was an eccentric guy who was vocal about many unpopular observations about the world.
Kek, I don't even think Kanye is smart or particularly talented that's just a shit list man
>>62556604
But we're talking crazy here, not eccentric due to having their minds specialized in subjects so removed from common concerns that few pursue them to the same extent.
Of those, I'm only certain about Beethoven.
>>62555664
>thinking it's the jews and not the hibernians
Bach was the most normal genius ever. And perhaps Feynman.
>>62556604
>Ben F. was at the least very eccentric, and spent most of his life fucking French prostitutes and becoming the fattest man in the western hemisphere.
What exactly is wrong with this? Based Ben acknowledged his problem with food and took steps to fix it. There's nothing wrong with fucking prostitutes, you beta cuck.

>thinking "crazy" is a pejorative when used to describe a philosopher
