    Seems to be a recurring theme in philosophy: some narcissist comes along every few years with their unsubstantiated one-liner bullshit and starts lecturing everyone else on how they’re dumb and stinky for not conceding to their objectively correct opinion. They all think they’ve cracked the code to millennias-old questions by pulling some maxim out of nothing and whining about how nobody comprehends their intellectual might.

    My favorite example of this is Hanlon’s Razor: based on nothing but vibes and you’re just supposed to believe it’s correct because its proponents think they’re big brain intellectual powerhouses.
