An interesting Tumblr picture I found...

The "Human philosophy is loosing its essence" picture

So I was thinking about this Tumblr picture that I reblogged some time ago.  It shows famous people (mostly famous philosophers before Lil Jon) and how they have reduced the first iteration of Aristotle's "What does it mean to be a good person?" to Lil Jon's "What?"

I gathered that this a pretty popular meme-eque picture.  You'll find it if you search "philosophy losing its essence" on Google.

I suppose this is an argument that as time passes on, people become less intellectual.  I think that's pretty invalid until Lil Jon.  However I think whoever made this was pretty funny and clever about it.
