Reply to Who changes the traffic lights? Where are they? Are they inside the traffic light pole? by hollyhoppet
Here's a video that's mostly about the LED traffic lights, but it also shows them going up with a cherry picker and bringing them down, and changing the bulbs inside em.

There's a reason I qualified that with "modern" lol any man with any amount of fame from more than a decade or three ago is bound to be an asshole

I'd see it more akin to say, B.F. Skinner's and Albert Einstein's contributions of philosophical value that don't make them philosophers per se.

Only Žižek is properly speaking a philosopher out of those. Things get a lot better once you move past the people who write op-eds.

i don't think anyone becomes famous unless they are prepared to be a jerk and i think it's safe to assume that any famous person, philosopher or not, is a jerk until proven otherwise.
that said, the most famous living philosopher i can think of whose work i have enjoyed reading and who at least kinda seems like not a jerk is probably Harry Frankfurt. although i don't know him personally and would not be surprised to find out he's actually a jerk. he did go on the Daily Show, after all.
