Favourite intellectual?

[strings]

Carl Von Clausewitz, what he didn't know about military strategy wasn' t worth knowing.

Also, Machiavelli, just because I find him quite funny!

 

[Les Biehn]

I like Freud as well. He liked cocaine and wanting to kill his dad.

 

[Lush]

Or Charles Darwin, if you can classify him as an academic.

Good call. And "Selfish Gene" Richard Dawkins.

I also quite liked what Alain de Botton had to say in The Consolations of Philosophy.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Perhaps you should define who constitutes an intellectual Les.

Back onto the Frenchies, I'd go for Rene Descartes. In fact I may have to remove my Lordi signature (another of my favourite intellectuals) and put my old one back. Cogito ergo sum. Genius.

I thought Descartes was Dutch?

Bertand Russell



not bad at his philosphy, logic and social comment. Shame for him that Kurt Godel was a little quicker at inductive mathematics.

 

[Les Biehn]

Just checked it, he is indeed French so my apologies. Didn't he spend some time in Dutchland though?

As if I'm giving them my details, I'm too clever for that.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

My dear departed Grandfather.

Your grandfather was Charles darwin


How old are you exactly?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

that bloke who does the "what did the tudors ever do for us..." or the tax adverts.

very clever man

wished he was my history teacher

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Your grandfather was Charles darwin


How old are you exactly?

Not quite. There must be a close link though, as Darwin and I are on the same intellectual plane.

Oh hang on, strike that. I'm not Uncle Spielberg am I?

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Carrying on the French theme, Satre. He wrote books to screw your head up. Good work that man.

Rene Descartes

Mmm. But look at her. You so would, wouldn't you...
