PAY ATTENTION! (It's just for humorous intentions, that's the reason of that topic being in the Lounge, instead of the Philosophy)

In the middle of The Lounge and Philosophy, today i will try to resume some philosphers in 6 words or less:

Nietzsche - I'm depressed, leave me alone

Schopenhauer - Because Metaphysics wanted in this way!

Augustine of Hippo - Because GOD wanted in this way!!

Pyhtagoras - I love math and I hate beans

Epicurus - Nature, having pleasures with this one!

Diogenes - I hate material things, except me.

Karl Marx - It's not yours, it's ours! (proceeds to begin the Soviet Anthem)

Democritus - Everything is made of tiny stuff (ATOMS!)

Thales - Greece has water, so water primordial!

Anaximender - Infinite is primordial, only this.

Anaximenes - Air is primordial, Icarus got defeated

Descartes - dumbs doesn't exist, only smart dudes!

John Locke - Liberty and democracy!!! YEAH MURICA!!!!

Heraclitus - Everything is changing, take this Darwin!

Parmenides - Everything is how it start.

Quote of the day: THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER, bill wurtz, 2017.

Have a nice flight, with knowledge and comedy!

Mind you, "resume" in English doesn't mean "summarize". English "resume" is equivalent to Portuguese "retomar", or Spanish "reanudar". You probably got this wrong from well-known false friend in both Portuguese and Spanish "resumir."

I think you should have written something like "Trying to Summarize Philosophers in Six Words or Less".

(I was going to post the same thing, except "summarise" ;-) )

Strikes me that 3 or less is doable...

That would have been my choice too, but I kind of assumed American spelling on the other end. I don't know why. 🙂

Samuel Johnson: “I refute it [Berkeley’s philosophy] thus.” [kicks stone]

Thomas Hobbes: Separation of powers? Nope! Hail, sovereign!

Berkeley: It's all mind? No matter!

Spinoza: Everything is substance, which is God.

Descartes: Brain, soul: different stuff, pineal connection.

My avatar approves this message. I had a physicist acquaintance who used to say something like, "I invite anyone who thinks all reality is just an idea to step in front of a speeding bus."
