Modern Philosophers Test
Modern Philosophers Test – Which Modern Philosophers character are you?


An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

He's the most controversial of them from what little I know of him. iirc he started off his career like "hey disenfranchised young men, clean your rooms and take care of yourselves" and gradually drifted fairly far rightward. I really don't know/remember much so take that with a grain of saltView attachment 147817
Oops. Isn't this guy supposed to be really bad or something?
Well, he did say that "gender-affirming care was 'Nazi medical experiment-level wrong' " on YouTube (Wikipedia), along with a whole bunch of other controversial public statements. (Not to put anyone here down who this test said had views similar to his.) He seems more of a right-wing pundit and propagandist than a "philosopher".Oops. Isn't this guy supposed to be really bad or something?
Yeah. I wouldn't take the word philosopher too literally.Question: wasn't Dawkins an evolutionary biologist, not a philosopher?
Very interestingRichard Dawkins: Richard Dawkins is a British evolutionary biologist, ethologist, and prominent advocate for atheism and scientific skepticism. He is best known for his work in popularizing the gene-centered view of evolution, most famously articulated in his book "The Selfish Gene," which posits that natural selection acts at the level of genes. Dawkins is also a vocal critic of religion and pseudoscience, arguing that belief in a deity is incompatible with scientific understanding. His book "The God Delusion" challenges religious faith and advocates for atheism, suggesting that religion is a byproduct of evolution and a source of conflict and division. Dawkins promotes rationalism, evidence-based thinking, and secularism, and his work has sparked significant debate and controversy, particularly among religious communities and advocates of intelligent design.
I'm somewhat familiar with J. Peterson, and have no idea who the rest of the people are.Jordan Peterson: Jordan Peterson is a Canadian psychologist and professor known for his conservative views on cultural and political issues, as well as his self-help philosophy. He gained widespread attention with his critique of political correctness and his opposition to compelled speech legislation in Canada, particularly concerning the use of gender-neutral pronouns. Peterson advocates for personal responsibility, order, and traditional values, often drawing on Jungian psychology, religious themes, and mythological archetypes. His book "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos" emphasizes principles such as standing up straight, telling the truth, and finding meaning through individual responsibility and self-improvement. While he has a substantial following, Peterson's views have also sparked significant controversy and debate, particularly around issues of gender, free speech, and the cultural influence of postmodernism and Marxism.
