'Why Japan?' I've been asked for the past 20 years or so. Meaning: why has Japan been the setting for so much of my fiction? When I started writing about Japan, I'd answer by suggesting that Japan was about to become a very central, very important place in terms of the global economy. And it did. (Or rather, it already had, but most people hadn't noticed yet.) A little later, asked the same question, I'd say that it was Japan's turn to be the centre of the world, the place to which all roads lead; Japan was where the money was and the deal was done. Today, with the glory years of the bubble long gone, I'm still asked the same question, in exactly the same quizzical tone: 'Why Japan?'
Because Japan is the global imagination's default setting for the future.
The Japanese seem to the rest of us to live several measurable clicks down the time line. The Japanese are the ultimate Early Adaptors, and the sort of fiction I write behoves me to pay serious heed to that. If you believe, as I do, that all cultural change is essentially technologically driven, you pay attention to the Japanese. They've been doing it for more than a century now, and they really do have a head start on the rest of us, if only in terms of what we used to call 'future shock' (but which is now simply the one constant in all our lives).

Answering my own question...
mine are Hobbes myself and Valentinus (theologian, but whatever) . I do admire Nietzsche, Sartre and Camus, but I don't agree with their ideas.

Ludwig Wittgenstein, I am limited, trapped by a form of interaction with the world, my limits are the form and language which was chosen to interact and modify the world, the limit of our world is which tool we choose to interact with it, words, gestures, movements, math, pure logic, in our case was chosen by us a combination of what is allowed for someone like us to use, we supposedly should choose but there are many more subcategories in each of them that can not be reached by us, we incels have one of the biggest limitations of interaction with the world, bad genes

hard to pick one but if I was pressed either Georges Sorel or Max Stirner, maybe Rene Guenon.

Bertrand Russell stands out to me as one of the greatest logicians and philosophers of all time.

He's not really a philosopher, maybe an ersatz cynical cultural critic but hey, look at a guy like Frank Zappa....he just happens to be my "flavor of the day" for philosophers. He was ugly as hell, not to mention dirty gross and ugly (oh wait, I already said ugly....oh well...say it twice for him), and he got a ****load of women, and a pretty wife too who let him have all of the sex he wanted.....at least enough to get a number of venereal diseases and sing about them.

(you might have noticed that this post is just an excuse to mention Zappa.....I actually admire Gilles Deleuze, Nietzsche.)

His ethics and politics are garbage, but that's not the reason to read Russell. His greatest accomplishments are in logic and foundational mathematics.

As others have already picked, Sorel and Schopenhauer are up there. I really need to read a lot more philosophy, though. I'm about halfway through the first book of Decline of the West right now and I could easily see Spengler climbing to an ascendant position in this pantheon of philosophical lodestars.

I remember enjoying a fair bit of what I've read from Kierkegaard. It's about time I revisited/explored more of his work. I know he's big with hipster cuck faggots, but plenty of noble souls esteem him as well.

Nitezsche's very good, but his influence has been pernicious. Even aside from the French Post-Structuralist milieu on the "Left", on the "Right" his work appeals to a certain kind of would-be atavist naîvely fascinated with "decivilizing". One must separate the man and his works from their legacy, however.

plato. his cave theory applies to normshits unwilling to accept anything outside of what society has instilled into their feeble minds and closed minded anti nofappers unwilling to be open to nofap or at least try it.

Spengler's great, man. He has that whole cyclical theory of history that presents an emphasis on Asian culture, if I remember. I first discovered him through a biography of Burroughs in 1990. There was a quote there, something along the lines of, "Look to the West, young man, not with your pen, quill, and brush, but with your compass and slide rule".....something like that.

I'm reading The Birth of Tragedy right now off archive.org, and was surprised to discover that one could make a Neo-Platonist out of Nietzsche. He constantly refers to the "Primordial Unity", which is neo-Platonic to the core.
