Soren K is the best. It's a shame he's always characterised as an edgy pessimist, but i think part of that is people want to write of his Christianity.

I wonder how different people around me would be if during their existential phase they got into Kierkegaard rather than Nietzsche.
Unfortunately I don't think most people are in as much despair as you probably need to be in order to start really understanding him.

The whole notion of philosophy is ridiculous
Live your life, don't go around stealing and hurting other people, stand up for yourself, be the best version of yourself
Philosophy is just people overthinking this and coming up with ludicrous and irrelevant opinions about the world.
Most philosophers are mentally ill, which is why there aren't many nowdays (they don't stand out as much)

Oswald Spengler.

Quite possibly the most relevant philosopher of today. Who else but him could so completely predict the various states of our evolving society?

I am not a kid, I don't have a favourite philosopher, I just consume their ideas
