Reply #5: She was an embarrassment to philosophy, for one thing

[EstimatedProphet]

All image, no substance. She had followers who would claim (still do, too) that she was the smartest person to ever walk the planet, and was always right. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Part of her "reputation" cam from her claim that she solved the philosophical problem of Identity, but what really happened is that she never understood the question. Add to her destruction of philosophy the fact that she spawned a never-ending spooge of brainwashed idiot followers appropriately called "Randroids" and you end up with someone completely vile.
