i genuinely feel that if some of the “great” 17th to 19th century thinkers and philosophers wrote their works today they would be considered cringe. i will not be naming examples for my own safety, with one exception: nietzsche would be super cringe.

don’t get me wrong though, lots of cool stuff was written before and after that time period. and not everything from that time period is bad, but a decent chunk of it is.
