List of Knowledge

List of important people. The GENUS Man.

Just as there was a revolution after the Encyclopédie in France, hopefully there will be one in the world after this list. In this case ‘revolution’ is too small to define, a Disruption, a Rupture define it best. Because it is going to happen anyway.

---

For some years I’ve been doing an ambitious encyclopedic, interdisciplinary and historical¹ list of various names in different areas of the human knowledge, and I want to share it here for all.²

Each list has a idiosyncratic division that I did in its expansion, I will explain.

It works basically this way: It’s divided by nationalities and a chronological —although very loose— order. Sometimes there’s also people who had affinities with each other, e.g., teacher and pupil, milieu, school of thought etc. If you know them, you will recognize.

Please give me suggestions³ (I may be missing essential peoples!) or tell me if there’s any errors or typos. I’m open, I don’t bite ok. And I suggest a nice game, going after names which are very eccentric. You might have a surprise!

The list start with writers, novelists, playwrights and poets, the most important for sure.

Oh, before we start. For comprehensiveness here is a ‘table of contents’. Use “ctrl+F” to reach each one you wish, also have in mind that some have subdivisions, which I will omit here, in order to not make it huge.

Here we go:

I - Writers, novelists, playwrights, poets and literary critics.

II - Painters

III - Composers

IV - Ars Occvlta

V - Philosophers

VI - Maths and physics

VII - Psychologists, Psychiatrists and a few neurologists

VIII - Sociology/Social sciences

IX - History

X - Geography and Geopolitics

XI - Anthropology, Ethnology, Mythology and Archaeology

XII - Natural Sciences and Medicine

XIII - Linguists

XIV - Pedagogues and educators

XV - Economy and Management

XVI - ‘Cybertechnocrats’

XVII - Anarchists and radical writers

XVIII - Utopian Socialists

XIX - Rare, forgotten marxists, socialists, councilists and syndicalists. This list also has the so called critical theory and post-modernist philosophers

---

I - Writers, novelists, playwrights, poets and literary critics.

This one begin with the greeks and romans, the most crucial ones, at least for us westerners. Then the russians, an odd transition, though I prefer to keep this way. Another thing you will encounter along all those writers is that many aren’t necessarily writers as artists, many are people who had a lot of experience in their lives and wrote them down, usually, beautifully. For example Marco Polo.

My favorite! Waltz and operetta composers. So unheard of! Literally.

• Michael Pamer

• Joseph Lanner

• Johann Strauss I or Sr

Those three men above were the most important pioneers of the style, try to explore them. It’s beautiful because it has the mixture of classical, folk and the new, emerging-at-the-time romantic music, it’s unique.

What really puzzles me is why waltzes are so under appreciated nowadays? Nobody dances anymore? Everyone lost their passion?…

Strauss II surely is well known but only a few of his opuses are, which became cliched.

• August Lanner

• Johann Strauss II or Jr [the son was more famous and prolific than the father! Brahms a friend, envied him, and Mahler the cynical rascal used to remember him in his compositions]

• Joseph Strauss

• Eduard Strauss

• Johann Strauss III

• Carl Michael Ziehrer [wonderful composer, he was very famous at the time and a fierce opponent of the Strauss' brothers above, unfortunately who got the fame after were the Strauss’ brothers and Ziehrer was forgotten, but there’s a lot of his compositions out there, give it a try]

• Ion Ivanovici

• Julius Fučik [known as the czech John Philip Sousa, composed fantastic marches, one thing with the marches coming from Austria-Hungary is that they do not look like marches, they have the Landler/waltz style ingrained in them and Fucik excelled in it, he also composed some waltzes and humoresques]

• Alphons Czibulka

• Oskar Nedbal

• Karel Komzák II

• Karel Komzák III

• Johann Schrammel

• Franz von Suppé

• Philipp Fahrbach Sr.

END

not really

You might ask “where is Zizek, Chomsky, Jordan Peterson, Ayn Rand, de Sade?”

No no no, those are so detestable and famous that they do not deserve to enter in this list. They will curse it.

Without further ado, thanks for taking interest in reading it! Hope you discover new things, things like the Truth.

I suggest saving and printing this list before the Apocalypse!

Quantitas est Qualitas

⁹

1. This list has a certain focus or soft-spot for putting the earliest people of certain disciplines, the pioneers. It’s important to know about origins, a lost art in this modern ahistorical world, as Zerzan pointed out. I also have the intent to foster interdisciplinary thinking.

2. ‟When selfish happiness is the only goal in life, life soon becomes goalless”

—Romain Rolland

3. Categories missing here because I have no ‘initiation’ into are: Sculptors and movie directors. I know a few, the most famous ones, but that would be incomplete.

4. Lucian is known as a satirist of such a period:

“Traditional Greco-Roman religion was in decline and its role in society had become largely ceremonial. As a substitute for traditional religion, many people in the Hellenistic world joined mystery cults, such as the Mysteries of Isis, Mithraism, the cult of Cybele, and the Eleusinian Mysteries. Superstition had always been common throughout ancient society, but it was especially prevalent during the second century” (Wikipedia, the footnotes says the scholar behind these assertions is Lionel Casson)

Sounds familiar?

5. Fascinating character, known for having written the Physiologie du goût (or Physiology of Taste: Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy), widely read during ole victorian times.

He wrote:

“Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es.

Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are”

He also said that the destiny of nations depends on what its populace eats and that true men of Spirit know how to eat well. He was a friend of Charles Fourier!

6. Sousa, the great march composer of United States, if your taste is open you will like him. John Cowper Powys was obsessed with him, specifically with his Star and Strips:

“But how those exultant, reckless, cynical, devil may-care strains delighted me. I derived from them a notion of the character of the American spirit which still seems to me, after all these years, no unworthy interpretation.” (From his Autobiography)

Sousa also was very vocal against recorded music, which was just at the beggining in the time he lived. He called it “The Menace of Mechanical Music”. In a very Walter Benjaminean and even Situtationistic vein, also very poetically, he wrote:

“Heretofore, the whole course of music, from its first day to this, has been along the line of making it the expression of soul states. Now, in this the twentieth century, come these talking and playing machines, and offer again to reduce the expression of music to a mathematical system of megaphones, wheels, cogs, disks, cylinders, all as like real art as the marble statue of Eve is like her beautiful, living, breathing daughters. With music in such easy reach, who will bother learning to perform it themselves? What of the national throat? Will it not weaken? What of the national chest? Will it not shrink? When a mother can turn on the phonograph with the same ease that she applies to the electric light, will she croon her baby to slumber with sweet lullabys, or will the infant be put to sleep by machinery?”

—1906

7. Both Kreisler and Karas weren’t really *composers* but virtuosos. Kreisler of violin and Karas of the zither, of course they composed some, that wasn’t their main activity though. Their talent were so much that they deserve to be here, they were the last breath of the waltz/ländler tradition in Vienna after the wars and social breakdowns that devastated that place, a destruction that we can sense in the literature of its inhabitants.. Musil, Kraus, Canetti et al….

8. “Philosophers like Slavoj Zizek and Bernard‐Henri Lévy are typical examples of Coca‐Cola intellectuals. Their „reflections” are being tailored to provide „philosophical” legitimacy to the ecocidal and genocidal activities of the stakeholders in the „new world order”. Their thought represents a philosophical merit badge on the chests of the capitalist executioners who obliterate nature and humankind.”

Indeed, how they are. Zizek with his cynical support for lockdowns… we also have the idiotized ‘accelerationists’. They will pay.

9. It is important to understand this inevitable law: quantity creates the basis for the birth of new qualities.

Exuberance is Beauty
