You got: Baudrillard

Like Jean Baudrillard (1929-2007), you often wonder how technology affects the way people communicate and interact. You worry that humanity is relying too much on technology sometimes. You get so far into your thoughts that you forget where you are and what you're supposed to be doing.

Second part describes me much better as I am able to loose touch with time and space occasionally, I'm not that obsessed with technology.

Which Philosopher Are You?
You got: Aristotle
Like Aristotle (384-322 BC), your interests are diverse. You have an opinion on every subject, but it all comes down to one guiding principle: Humans are responsible for helping each other. You believe every person has a purpose, and you're good at helping people find theirs.

You got: John Locke
Like Locke (1632-1704), you believe in individual freedom. The point of law is to make the playing field even for everyone - rich and poor alike. You don't believe in perks for the privileged, and you strive for fairness in all of your dealings.

Of all philosophers I got a non Greek one ;)

You got: Avicenna

You have an intelligence that surprises everyone, even you sometimes. Like Avicenna (980-1037), you have a mind so open, you can sense possibilities before they become obvious. This ability probably gets you dirty looks from traditionalists, but you don't have time to worry about others' disapproval.

You got Epicurus

Like Epicurus (341-270 BC), you believe the point of life is pure happiness. You enjoy your life no matter what happens, and you wish others could have the same fulfillment. You make those around you smile, laugh, and relax.

Like Rene Descartes (1596-1650), you believe in mind over matter. You believe in the power of the mind to heal your body, lead you through hard times, and puzzle out the world's mysteries. You're a deep thinker who feels that anything is possible

Europeans place too much value on language.

Ideas, thoughts, concepts, actions, behaviors, music, math >>> language.

Intelligence (and philosophy) transcends any single language/culture.

most anthems are much worse than that, really.
Only the German one is controversial, for no good reason at that.

Your accusations have no merit; genes are the embodiment of history.

and when you know nothing about this ''embodiment'', your genes are meaningless.

I usually ignore your bullshitting about Prussia but not in my thread hun.
Prussia is my homeland and I'm going to stand with for it.

Ethnicity is the bloodline, within the genes lie thousands of years of ambiental-habitual affluences and culture is a collective homogenous manifestation of that. A cat born in a stable isn't a horse. A Nation without culture is a person with amnesia, rudderless, directionless.

Epicurus was a soulless atomist and materialist. Its no surprise really. He took mainstream Greek thought and substituted worship of the unknown for worship of pleasure.

07-02-2014, 10:53 PM
You got: Kant
Like Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), you crave change. You love developments, paradigm shifts, and innovations. You can't stand stagnation. You tend to listen very carefully as you know that every single individual holds part of the great big answer we're all searching for.

Aunt Hilda

just because I got Epicurus does not mean I like him. I'm more of a Plato fan-girl myself.

you HAVE no knowledge of the state. your genes aren't going to tell you about Prussian Virtues.

I cannot speak on behalf of all Europeans. I can only say Slavic languages are strictly connected with our Slavic heritage: customs, traditions, family connections, names, surnames, toponyms, native faith, etc. All of these you can spot in our languages, provided you are a native speaker.

In a strange way, yes. Im not an expert on Greek thought (it was only a course of mine on the side) but the battle between Platonism/Stoicism and Epicureanism does foreshadow a development of liberalism.

Stoicism was the ancient redpill, Epicureanism the blue pill.
