My top 3 would be:
1. Guy Debord
2. Diogenes of Sinope
3. Deleuze/Guattari

As someone who has a degree in Philosophy, I cannot emphasize enough how much of a waste of time it is to study that at University! If we were living in 500 BC, walking around with Plato and the rest of the fellas, totally worth it. These days ... won't even gonna comment on it. You can study it in your free time.
Don't get me wrong, I've been very much invested in existential philosophy and the nature of reality, but I admit that I used the majority of my free time in University (and my lectures) to actually learn IM & SEO.
I think I might have made the right call

I actually started philosophy at uni. Dropped out after 2 weeks, bought 2 HUGE books, 1000 pages each to learn the basics, and sat in the bathtub for the whole summer holidays reading them.As someone who has a degree in Philosophy, I cannot emphasize enough how much of a waste of time it is to study that at University!

That's enough really. Unless you are very invested and want to either write a book or become a professor.
A whole summer in a bathtub? I'm surprised you didn't turn into an amphibian

A very good analogy, in which the bathtub is not only a place of maintenance of bodily hygiene, but especially a place of maintenance of thoughts... perhaps the best place for contemplation.

I get my best ideas in the shower. It's certainly my "thinking" place.

yeah that's what i felt exactly. I didn't have the need to going back to uni after the summer since I never wanted to become a "pro"

Honestly, I'm one of those "education doesn't stop at graduation" people. I never stopped learning. If you want to learn something, you'd do it regardless of whether it's formal or informal education.

So basically you're building a Kierkegaard's scala paradisi to climb towards the SEO heavens.

I don't know about the SEO heavens but I certainly wrote a thesis on KierkegaardSo basically you're building a Kierkegaard's scala paradisi to climb towards the SEO heavens.
