What is likely to change? Anybody who has seen you use the word predicate knows not to confuse you with a philosopher.Alexis Jacobi wrote: ↑Mon Dec 01, 2025 4:18 pmSleep on it, Flash.

Is that word salad supposed to make a point of some sort?
Here's a video about how to assemble the Great Pyramid anew using two cranes:
Could A Modern Mega Crane ACTUALLY Build The Great Pyramid
https://youtu.be/MST6V1IHaTA
This is absurd, if you were sane you would drop the idea that we cannot build the pyramids today, it makes no sense that you insist on doubling down on such crap.
Where is the video of levers and people rolling stones to build it?
Where is the video that shows the hieroglypths explaining the exact process in which it was built?
What I see are assumptions, they are assumptions because there are no exact replicas.
Being real....historical texts give no answers, only second hand myths.
You really do enjoy taking things out of context to avoid appearing dumb.
Please continue trying to be clever....we are all ears with what you will come up with.

Epicurus was an ancient Greek philosopher who founded Epicureanism, a highly influential school of philosophy; it asserted that philosophy's purpose is to attain as well as to help others attain tranquil lives, characterized by freedom from fear and the absence of pain.

If the Egyptians had made a car, you would say they couldn't make a car because there is no video of them making it in a Honda factory in Japan?
Silliness of course. All that is required for the ancients to make a car is an ancient internal combustion engine, an ancient steering wheel and so on.
All that is required for a new pyramid is rocks cut and shaped into appropriate form and placed on top of each other in the similar arrangement to the old pyramids. Which is not a technological problem in the least.

Re: Best Philosopher Ever
This is synchronistic: I dreamed Epicurus, barking orders in German, headed a millennial troop of English slave-philosophers building a pyramid out of compacted Hondas.

Whenever I hear/read questions of this nature my response to this question is the very much the same has other questions:
Are we talking about the Past, the Present-or, indeed, the FUTURE?
For all we know the 'Greatest Philosopher Ever' might not have even been born yet.
I always feel that this is a slant to the question that always gets somewhat overlooked....

Re: Best Philosopher Ever
It's not really a serious question at all, the two philosophers I discussed in the OP McGinn and Baker aren't actually attempting to persuade you that they are the greatest of all time, nor that they can meaningfully nominate somebody else to be, it's just a parlour game.JamesIan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 03, 2025 9:28 am Whenever I hear/read questions of this nature my response to this question is the very much the same has other questions:
