Wow, I can't believe how brilliant these Greek philosophers were. I mean, how can a human mind reach such complex and unthinkable conclusions? Truly, I'm perplexed by their intellectual capacities.
Seriously now. Why are they seen as such smart people when what they said is nothing more than any other child that is not mentally retarded can also deduce?
Were early humans that dumb? Could it be that people troughout time simply (biologically) "evolved" and got smarter as a result?
>>1405029
Demonstrate that 1+1=2
>>1405033
Define "demonstrate" first.
>>1405033
>hahahah look Greeks knew of the Peano Postulates long before the 19th century xddd
Yeah except for simple day to day maths is different from algebric conotation
>>1405029
I think you're being slightly disingenuous and if you truly think this about Greek philosophers then you should go do more research and come up with a better meme
>>1405029
But they thought it all in ancient greek
That's a dead language, senpai, just think how long it took these guys to study it enough to be fluent
People in the past were really stupid. Just look at Greek science. For fuck's sake Aristotle thought that if you throw something it'll move in a straight line.
Greeks are just a middle piece between monkeys and modern man.

Wow, I can't believe how brilliant this Newton guy was.
Seriously now. Why is he seen as such smart guy when what he said is nothing more than any other child that is not mentally retarded can also deduce?
So don't consider how much writing these people had and how much time meditating they spent on these questions that they had?
You know these people wrote stuff that we cant philosophically comprehend fully still.
You know because they were absent from the technology we had today they were receptive to a lot more abstract thinking than we are if we sit online all day and try to discredit philosophers because we think its funny and that our opinions are exalted thoughts that everyone needs to accept.
>>1405082
You aren't saying anything more than what a child can deduce either.
Also you aren't considering how much more each of these "sayings" go
>>1405082
Well the Greeks didn't believe any of those things to be true, so you're saying the Greeks were literally mentally retarded children.
>>1405096
He's parodying that underage accident of birth that is OP you dumbwit. Nobody thinks a child can deduce the stuff Newton deduced, but they all seem intuitive and obvious retrospectively
>>1405113
Can't you see thay this is a parody of OP to show how retarded OP is? Gosh I thought /his/ was smarter than that.
>>1405029
What is hindsight bias again?
>>1405120
Maybe next time it'll be obvious and the post will actually be about something worth talking about
>>1405124
But all you did was further show how retarded the Greeks were.
>>1405269
>But all you did was further show how retarded the Greeks were.
retarded =/= stupid
Retarded implies the greeks were mentally handicapped, which they aren't, they are stupid by today's standards unless you can prove a child in a educational and cultural vacuum can come up with these ideas. also
>"Fire is hot!"
is not a greek idea, it's not even a human idea, it's a natural instinct almost all organisms with a nervous system have hard wired into them.
>>1405072
>Aristotle thought that if you throw something it'll move in a straight line.
Dude you can actually observe that when you throw something it doesn't go in a straight line.. that's retarded, can anyone confirm that he said that?
>>1405083
>You know these people wrote stuff that we cant philosophically comprehend fully still.
Wat. But I try to follow your logic, indeed let's look at Hinduism - at first there are concepts, ideas that you can't comprehend - but after investing lots of time you realize how much time some people invested in the ideas themselves.. but then you realize how stupid the ideas themselves are.
>>1405148
I think it was extremely obvious
>>1405082
newton is brillant because he could bring up a formulae to calculate gravity, he did not discover it.
he also invented calculus wich is something very complex (to discover from nothing) and opens a lot of mathematic fields
The greeks really were overrated desu senpai, now eastern philosophy on the other hand...
>>1405082
>>stuff falls
No, stuff is pulled. This was revolutionary
This is the worst thread I've ever seen on /his/
>>1405029
>"Fire is hot!"
The Greeks weren't the first with this one.
Fire is everything! Now that's a Greek contribution.
>>1405029
Turn off the computer and have a few days away from the Internet. Memes are rotting your brain.
>>1406415
weebs need to kill themselves. eastern """"philosophy""""" is retarded
Before greeks all we had was jewish philosophy about pleasing fake gods and chinese philosophy about why boots are best placed on your face
Plus there was also deconstructionist 2,000 years before striner in ancient greece. All the popular greek philosophers today are the ones who were declared righteous pagans by the church and best had their works preserved, there's no philosophy outside the 19-20th century that didn't exist in ancient greece already
>>1406409
>he also invented calculus
I like this meme, especially the part where its completely wrong
>>1405033
Which philosopher was it that proved it by simply claiming that he has two hands, one on each arm? I forget.
Friendly reminder that Plato was a fascist that poisoned western thought.
Also, the theory of forms is fucking retarded.
Diogenes >>>>>>>> Plato
Can you imagine how much better western society would be if it was inspired by Diogenes instead of that fuckstick Plato?
>>1406701
>that poisoned western thought.
democracy did that tho
>>1405029
>Strawmaning the opposition makes my argument sound smarter
Wow, I can't beloved how brilliant OP is. I mean, how can a faggot reach such hights of rhetoric
>>1406697
Newton could not formulate his laws of motion, gravitation etc. without calculus; no matter how much he detested Leibniz and misappropriated Leibniz’s contribution.
>>1405029
Even the most obvious things need to be said by someone.
>>1405033
If you have one milk and another milk, then you have two milk.
You slack-jawed tobacco dribbling faggot
>>1406712
Diogenes is just dank memes in action. Stop being fucking retarded.
>>1406721
do you think OP could get away with threads like this on /a/ by saying children could replicate better art than astro boy or /ck/ by saying children could make better food than cavemen?

If only they had read your brilliant post before writing all that.
>>1406724
None of those invented calculus. They just jumped on the bandwagon and took all the credit
>>1405033
1+1=1+1
At best.
1+1=2
is ultimately saying that
a+b=c
>>1407054
they must be pretty damn retarded

Compared to enlightened mind like you, maybe.

you mean A+A=B

Wow scientists sure are smart. I cant believe how these brilliant scientists are.
>>1405517
Yes, that's what Aristotle says in Physics. Just like he says heavier objects fall faster than light ones, or that things can only keep moving as long as something keeps pushing them. It's only in the late Middle Ages that people realised it was all bullshit.
>>1407714
>It's only in the late Middle Ages that people realised it was all bullshit.
And then in the Renaissance people went back to believing it was all true because "muh Ancients wuz smart!", kek.

Okay, so how many eggheads have actually verified that it proves it though?
>>1407054
2 is defined as 1+1, there is nothing to prove.

I'm sorry they replaced you in iron man Terrence, but this math shit has got to stop.
