Philosopher Kings

Yay or nay?

only if I get to be a philosopher

>>1

Nay. :P

Democracy/pluralism ftw.

>>3
wow what an unexpected answer

>>4

That was literally the stupidest response I've ever seen on world4ch.

To even presume that there *are* "unexpected answers" is the height of illiteracy, the depths of ignorance. There is not a single idea you or I will ever articulate that has not been spoken better a hundred times before.

wow, you set your heights so high

There is not a single idea you or I will ever articulate that has not been spoken better a hundred times before.

First you flame someone for being an idiot, then you bury youself. Any reasonable person will realise that assertion is false.

Your sarcasm detector also fails. >>4 quite obviously wasn't serious you dolt.

>>7

>quite obviously wasn't serious

Duh. I was responding to the implicit assumption that there was anythign new under the sun.

>Any reasonable person will realise that assertion is false.

Any reasonably well-read person will agree with me. :P Am I wrong? Try and come up with an original idea. I bet I can find plenty of rhetorical and literary instances where your idea has already been spelled out and ripped to shreds.

what i was expecting was someone who would be a bit more original than "democracy/pluralism ftw". which is said by fricking everyone. can you think of something better to say!

>>9

Better in what sense? If you mean more original, more novel, then no... and I deny anyone else to either. There is nothing new under the sun, only modern reformulations of ancient concepts.

can we just get back to the original topic already. e.w. is a fricking troll.

>>11

I agree with *most* of what you just said. :P

Considering I was the first person to respond seriously to this thread though, I don't think I deserve the label of troll. uh well... at least not within the confines of this thread. ;)

>>12
you were responding to a completely unrelated thing which made the thread go off on a derivative. ruined the thread, wot?

>>13

I'm sorry, I thought it was clear enough; but to make it blatantly obvious, I was poster #3. The first yay or nay.

p.s., I'm happy to argue with you about anything you like, but if you want to get the thread back on topic, why do you keep perpetuating the digression?

egoism ftw

Infact, I believe we all ready have philosopher kings, only that they believe what plato didn't realise: that egoism 0wnz.

Philosopher kings ate all the threads.
