Top is just pseuds. Wearing glasses and being well groomed doesn't make you smart.
Bottom understands that knowledge is a curse and resents himself for wasting his life on this path. Grimly accepts his fate to live in agony and isolation, taking solace that he will never be a pseud who recites quotes he doesn't understand at dinner parties.

what does being smart have anything to do with this? does your measure of smartness have direct correlation to the value of ones own existence?
take a look at the people

Yes. Just read Plato's Phaedo dialogue to him and he will be okay with dying.

Calling out Heidegger, Hegel, Spinoza or Derrida is just bait. They are some of the worst philosophers in terms of writing. Heidegger apparently saw that there were similarities between Husserl’s technique of phenomenological contemplation and Taoist meditation, and that the insights he got from the former were the similar to those of Taoism, so he utilized a half-western half-eastern writing style that is very difficult to parse (trust me, my phil prof who’s phd is on being and time hated the book and said Heidegger made his own language so learning german is useless). It is a deeply insightful book if you manage to read and parse it, and Taoists have commended Heidegger over his explanation of existence

That doesn't excuse the fact that professors hold their students to higher standards of rigor and clarity than any philosopher they praise. Every philosopher worshipped by academia could've made his argument on one page in plain language but they all want to write entire books with special words like rhizome, public sphere, discourse, hyperreal, noumenon, ding an sich etc. Even worse much of western philosophy turns out to be complicating basic buddhism and there's the idiotic meme that Greeks like dialogues but all Glaucon does is making affirming remarks in Plato's Cave it's embarrassing.
Academic philosophy is pretentious and a joke and only useful for getting an overview of a bunch of categories in which you can place each way of thinking. They could simplify that and make themselves actually useful by just pretending to be a biologist and writing a taxonomy of thought so each time you read a post on 4chan you can be like: oh hey this little thought creature belongs to that family of thinking. Oh wait we already have that just dump all the germans and french philosophers in the woke garbage bin and read Mein Kampf instead or something.

The truth is, science is already flooded with philosophers, but they just shout "you're anti-science" and "trust the experts" if you question their theories or ask for compelling evidence.

Also like how eastern philosophy asks you to meditate first and experience what it’s like to not get lost in the mind’s schizo babble instead of acting like it’s the peak of human experience like almost every western philosopher
>>16303441 was based indeed. The only reason why science evolved primarily in the west was because universities had a culture of religious debate that allowed free dialogue and debate between different natural philosophers and were largely supported by the Church (only some idiots like Galileo questioned this). The Chinese had the 300 schools of thought system which did the same thing and made the Chinese the most advanced civilization during the Dark Ages, but then they demolished that and China stagnated.

>Then I will tell you, said Socrates. When I was young, Cebes, I had a prodigious desire to know that department of philosophy which is called Natural Science; this appeared to me to have lofty aims, as being the science which has to do with the causes of things, and which teaches why a thing is, and is created and destroyed; and I was always agitating myself with the consideration of such questions as these: Is the growth of animals the result of some decay which the hot and cold principle contracts, as some have said? Is the blood the element with which we think, or the air, or the fire? or perhaps nothing of this sort-but the brain may be the originating power of the perceptions of hearing and sight and smell, and memory and opinion may come from them, and science may be based on memory and opinion when no longer in motion, but at rest. And then I went on to examine the decay of them, and then to the things of heaven and earth, and at last I concluded that I was wholly incapable of these inquiries
The inventor of philosophy himself admitted that he got filtered by science.
