seems that to be a smarty pants 100 years or so ago, one needed to have some sort of disease that lead to insanity. evidence? well you’ve got marx here, good ole freddie nietzsche had the VD and if i recall correctly kierkegaard had a hump back or some shit, sartre had that eye thing.
i don’t know where i’m going with this exactly, but think of what a happy go luck world it would be if our philosophical and intellectual icons were hot, well adjusted supermodels. just give it some thought.
