I had a very distinct memory of Nick Bostrom describing himself as “the greatest analytic philosopher of all time” on his website but while working on a paper I have been unable to find any evidence that this ever happened and going through his website on the way back machine I can’t find a point where he described himself as such. Did I invent this and if not does anyone know what I’m thinking of
Edit: also in reading his various bio’s with the way back machine I came across the sentence “As a graduate student he dabbled in standup comedy on the London circuit” and if anyone has a video of that I’m also interested

Maybe Nick Bostrom ranked as 1st analytic philosopher in Prospect Magazine’s top world thinkers?
Pfft, Boström would never call himself something as plebeian as an analytic philosopher. (he called himself a “rational idealist” though)
