Which philosophers would you want to be friends with?
I tried reading Hegel, but I couldn't stand him. He's reads like an autist at church appealing to yet another a higher spirituality. Nietzsche, Hume, Marx and Stirner would be more fun to talk to.

You realize all three of the people you want to hang out with would insult you into the ground with their biting intellectual wit, right?
Hegel literally was the most chill guy with random people, not prone to outbursts of egoistic autism like they were.

I think that sums up all of us and our philosophical husbandos (or waifu if you're some faggot that likes Rand)
To answer OP's question: Nietzsche. It's predictable, but I am a gigantic Nietzscheboo and the idea would make me cream. In particular, I would have liked to talk to him about eastern philosophy, especially zen, as I feel that there are many similarities between them, but ofc he died way too early for sufficient transmission of it to the West.

I'm pretty sure Nietzsche wrote some disdainful remarks about Eastern philosophy in general. But I'm curious about what similarities you see between Zen Buddhism and Nietzsche's stuff.

Well, more Buddhism than Taoism or Confucianism, but Nietzsche is wonderful regardless of what he intellectually engages, whether he agrees with it or not.
As goes Buddhism in general, Nietzsche himself called Buddha a great psychologist, and also fancied himself the "Buddha of Europe". I think much of Buddhist psychology foresaw Nietzsche's writings on the subject (e.g. Nāmarūpa, stressing the inseparability of the psycho-physical, non-existence of fixed self but rather a series of drives trying to dominate, depending on yourself for personal growth and salvation, the unconscious, rediscovering spontaneity, and letting go of man-made symbols and concepts as representing reality, and in Zen specifically, its more practical Sino-Japanese character as opposed to Theravāda.
That, and, I would like to know his reaction to Zen poetry and art.

I never thought I'd see those two in the same post... I wouldn't mind partying and shooting Arabs on the beach with Camus, and Descartes looks like he knows a thing or two about giving her the D, but why do you pick them exactly?

Well, now I do see the resemblance. However, there's a key difference in Nietzsche's and the Buddhists' attitude when faced with all that. The quote you alluded to is: "I could be the Buddha of Europe: though admittedly an antipode to the Indian Buddha."
See it this way: Nietzsche also had a lot of respect for Schopenhauer (incidentally: mentioned alongside Buddha on aphorism 56 of "Beyond Good and Evil"), whose thoughts on ego and identity also anticipated those of Nietzsche. But he refused to indulge in Schopenhauer's nihilistic attitude towards life, and I think he'd do the same with Buddhists given how often he riled against asceticism.

Descartes was a total dick and would make a terrible friend. He put on a nice and reasonable persona when writing, but he was pretty much the opposite of that.
Camus on the other hand is too cool to be friends with. You'd be that weird kid trying to tag along with him. You'd be bullied into submission by the other groupies.

Lol, I thought I'd get away with shortening that quote. I have been talking about the Sino-Japanese Buddha though, not the Indian one.
Zen doesn't have to be ascetic, neither does it have to be nihilistic. The warrior culture that build around it in Japan should make that evident.
It can be whatever you make of it. There is definitely some doctrine to Buddhism, but it's not absolute, and you won't be burned at the stake for being idiosyncratic.

In Japan different religious organizations did war with each other, (there were warrior monks) and they would sometimes burn esch othes' temples, and call each other heretics, but those stories aren't well known in the west. The Nichiren sect has a story of the founders being persecuted too.

I feel that Stirner would've been an insufferable asshole if we got to talk.
I'd probably talk to Aquinas, Kierkegaard, and Augustine, as well as the Stoics and Ascetics.
Probably also to Camus and Sartre, and maybe Foucault cause I don't know much about him.

Dunno, but I guess he would have an "get out of my way peasant" aristocratic attitude.

Autist who can never let anything go and always has to have the last word.

Angsty loser.
Heidegger seems like a really grounded, bro-tier guy though.
