employ a hermit to take up residence in your garden folly
employ a philosopher to take up residence in your palace and force him to agree with every decision you make so you look wise to the people.
presuming you have the Patience and Fortitude to allow a Philosopher within 500 feet of your house.
*dusts of resume*
now, what’s the difference between the two positions bc i bet i could do both.
A philosopher spouts bullshit from inside their comfy house, and a hermit spouts bullshit from a shed in the garden.
does “philosopher” have, like, required certifications? because that could be a stumbling block.
Does someone want to give me a job?
