I think ladies want to hit that, but Immanuel told them, "Kant touch this."

The most hilarious part of Kant's work to me is in his anthropology.

In a footnote he said that there's two ways of studying it: in the first degree, by traveling and meeting people, and I'm the second degree by reading books by traveled people.

But Kant never traveled so he can study antropology in the first degree. So he adds a clause saying that if one lives in a busy port city (like Kant) one can study antropology in the first degree as all the people of the world travel to your city.

Koenigsberg, especially during that time, was considered the progressive hub of the western world, the pinnacle of human achievements and innovation. During that time, you really had the best of everything right in the city. So, why leave? His ideas and thoughts formed the way we think today, he singlehandedly changed the structure of thoughts europeans had.

Kant was also about 5ft tall and had an unusually large head. He had an odd posture suggesting he may have had scoliosis or some form of physical malady. Reports are in spite of his pious upbringing he was popular at parties.

His second rule was, to have a due balance of young men, frequently of very young men, selected fromthe students of the university, in order to impress a movement of gaiety and juvenile playfulness on the conversation; an additional motive for which, as I have reason to believe, was, that in this way he withdrew his mind from the sadness which sometimes overshadowed it, for the early deaths of some young friends whom he loved.

Kant wasn't like that. He was a socialite
