Sample insults by philosophers that are true to their style:
Heraclitus: “Why don’t you just flux off.”
Aristotle: “All men by nature desire to know — just not about you.”
Schopenhauer: “Your mind — so narrow that even the will to nothingness can’t find an opening.”
Plato: “All in all, you’re just another shadow on the wall.” (Michael David Cobb Bowen)
William of Ockham: “The simplest explanation: You’re full of crap.”
Francis Bacon: “From what the ladies say about you, Non Organon should be the title of your next work.”
Other contenders?
If you didn’t spend all of your time sanctioning evil you’d just be a psycho-epistemologer.
