Get drunk constantly? Harass everyone and get in fights? Jerk off in public? Probably fuck boys and grope women? Shit in the street? Hates everyone but especially other people like him?

As somebody that spent three years trying to get a job as a tenure track philosophy professor, this is very accurate.

As a software developer, I would name the second category “People who write about philosophy”

There are plenty of philosophers who don’t publish.
