Dear Donald, I just found out about an ancient (older than sleepy Joe Biden) Greek philosopher named Empedocles. Can you believe it? His name really is Empedocles. That is far worse than Enola Gay. The logic is flawless, whatever the fake media will say to cover this up. This Empedocles claimed that everything is composed …
I have been thinking about wisdom and time. – That sounds pretentious. Quite the opposite! The pursuit of timeless wisdom is pretentious.
