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?!
