Worth a try in Kash, even with an ad-hoc word for "philosopher":

Neutral/exact trans.--
ta makayasa re hale kambinjangaya
not I-know-PAST THAT you-are AGT-seek-knowledge

Colloquial: ta kayami, hat kambinjangaya
not know-my, you philosopher

Condescending if not snarky--
kaç kundak kayasa re hale kambinjangaya
person not-very know-PAST .....
"one wouldn't know that...."
