Most nerdy people in the history of philosophy: 1. Hilary Putnam 2. Rudolf Carnap 3. Baruch Spinoza 4. Bertrand Russell 5. Henry David Thoreau Least nerdy: 1. Albert Camus 2. Diogenes 3. Plato 4. That's it, there are only three non-nerds, and Plato is iffy.

Oh come on, Henry David Thoreau was no nerd.. The man built his own cabin and survived in nature.

His mom did his laundry while he was “surviving in nature!”

Sun Tzu? Also Ibn Sinna has to top the nerdy list. He claimed to have mastered medicine by age 10 and was that kind of insecure nerd that had to repeat how he was better than Aristotle.

Non-nerdies also gotta include Rabi-a'Basri, Rumi, Robert Owen, Emma Goldman. The poetic and the political.
