This guy is pushed relatively a lot, compared to the normal average chaos where fads last only 2 weeks, you see veiled memes about him surfacing sometimes, with the implied sense that he was some sort of philosopher and big thinker of antiquity.
Two of the most frequent memes are: the man living into the big jar, and the guy saying a chicken is a man because it fits the description of a featherless biped.
After reading something about this guy to know what was the deal with him, it was a surprise to notice how many things about him sounds kikerish.
