Unlike most people, I view Spinoza as one of the greats in humor. Every bit of his work was not only fallacy, but specifically crafted to be a mirror of what people claimed of Plato. A so called mythical Theory of Forms by Plato, countered by a Theory of Material by Spinoza. It is really funny to read, the very first pronouncement was a very obvious contradiction.
