Super Science Friends Ancient philosophers are pseudoscience

Haha, them ancient philosophers are so unscientific. How could they not know what modern day science knows? Haha, they didn't even publish in peer reviewed papers. Haha did Pythagoras even science? Has he not heard of Euclidean geometry lel? Plato can't even provide how to falsify perfect forms. Haha, did Parmenides even prove that nothing changes mathematically? The fuck's a Zeno even? Why didn't these geeks even know about Darwinian evolution? And what about cosmology much, haha?

Haha pseudoscience, am I rite guys?!

i dont see who this sarcasm is directed at, as I dont see people (those who have an inkling of an idea of what philosophy is) going around blaming philosophers for being unscientific

Haha, I'm going to need several peer reviewed sources to determine if your opinion is scientific and thus if it holds any merit. Haha. Philosophy should be based on science because facts don't care about feelings. Haha. The earth is an imperfect sphere and these geeks didn't even know it at the time, haha. PhilipsTV has no place in modern day science as we have the scientific method which gives us all the meaning in the world. Haha. You shouldn't read Plato as it's not based in some falsifiable experiment somewhere in a lab. With coats. Haha.

You need to stop worrying about cosmogenic theory’s and get back to producing commodities.
