If you could have dinner (once) with just 3 thinkers, who would you invite?

If you were given the chance of having dinner with 3 thinkers, who would you invite? Dead thinkers would come back from the dead, look normal, and act as if they had never died, by the way, don't worry about that (and, they would re-die later, there's no need to worry about this either).

I'd invite Noam Chomsky, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Wilhelm von Humboldt. Chomsky and Wittgenstein because their ideas are diametrically opposed, so there would be a fruitful discussion. And Humboldt because he inspired both Chomsky and Wittgenstein... so he'd act like a "moderator", so to speak.

How about you guys? Who's going to introduce Mendel to Darwin, huh?

Re: If you could have dinner with 3 thinkers, who would you invite to such an occasio

Karl Marx and Ayn Rand...so I could take pictures of the fight.

The ultimate champion of communism vs the ultimate champion of capitalism.

It would be an interesting meal.

The great thing about inviting them is that Ayn Rand would be obliged to pay for her meal and Marx wouldn't eat anything if you had to employ the labour of others to produce it. So long as your third person wasn't Epicurus it'd be the cheapest lunch ever.

On a serious note, I would definitely invite this guy:

Friedrich Hayek

I might bring John Manyard Keynes along too so he can get his ass kicked.

i know at least Thomas Jefferson and milton friedman

renegade, occrider, arbiter.

Thomas Carlyle, Adam Weishaupt and the prophet Mohammad.

Eating a cake with Rawls, food fight with Hobbes and Sauerkraut with Nietzsche.

Bobby Fisher and Pablo Picasso just to find out once and for all who was more bat shit crazy and see who would win an argument between a complete left brain and a complete right brain

On a serious note, I would definitely invite this guy:

John Maynard Keynes

I might bring Friedrich Hayek along too so he can get his ass kicked.

Gurdjieff and Carlos Castenada and Peter Ouspensky

Noam Chomsky, Eustace Mullins, & Albert Pike

Albert Pike would be very interesting.

Indeed,

quote:

Origininally said by Albert Pike (1871) "The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions." "The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm." "The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and political Zionism mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion�We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

Although Masons dispute that the letter was written by Albet Pike.

Of all the masonic texts I've read I have always felt Pike to be one of the only ones who knew exactly what he was talking about.

Pike was definetly sharp as hell and a very interesting character. Another trio that would be interesting to have at one table would be Francis Bacon, Manly P. Hall, and Alister Crowley.

Is that the fellow who wrote the book of optics?

The other two I think are fun theorists, with good imaginations. Especially Kaku, though he seems like a bit of a quack at times to me, kind of like he's trying to sell me some product. Most of his predictions so far have been a bit off, if you've read any of his books.

I thought paper was supposed to have been replaced by now with paper-thin computer tablets? Damn, he must not have taken Bush and the oil extravaganza into consideration. heh
