The phrase "a man will die but not his ideas" brings to mind whom?

Assuming that Jesus Christ ascended to heaven and is still alive there, I suggest excluding him from consideration

Someone tell this Turk to stop admiring Hitler, watching a turkey worship a butcher is just cringe.

[strateguy632]

yes when turkey joined germany in w. w. 1they got whipped! so they were neutral in w. w. 2. the asker should also not side with hitlers.

Well if there were ever any man whose ideas need to die it's Adolph Hitler. I'd nominate the people who admire him too.

I'd say the same thing about fake Gods, particularly the three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The faster they disappear, the better off humanity will be.

My choice would be various Greek philosophers and mathematicians such as Plato, Aristotle, and Archimedes. From China, Sun Tzu. From Italy Galileo, Copernicus, Da Vinci. From Britain, Newton. From Germany, Einstein. These people formed the foundation modern human civilization.

It is worth remembering that Aristotle and Plato defended slavery. On the other hand, both of them profoundly influenced the intellectual development of Islam and, from around the 11th century onward, the Christian world through their philosophies.

The same religion, depending on interpretation and underlying paradigms, can split into very different sects and schools of thought. In the case of Judaism, unlike the other two religions, there is no concept of missionary activity, nor does it generally claim universality in the same way.

A connection can certainly be made between the positive sciences and the development of civilization, but I do not think the same can necessarily be said about morality and values. After all, nineteenth-century scientific racism and phrenology, as well as Nazism, also drew legitimacy from what was considered positive science at the time.

It’s all about the idea itself.


Men don’t rise to power over ludicrous concepts


The reason Hitler was so popular before the war is because he spoke the things everyone was thinking and feeling.


The “idea” was already a reality before he said it.


And so even if his solution failed. And he caused a lot of deaths and suffering. The core idea itself will always make some sense

[DonaldDarko]

Its sort of like the old saying nordic saying about cattle and kinsmen and you yourself dying but your accomplishments being remembered. Sounds like something an art major would say might have been Picasso not sure.

[capriVib]

The man is gone, but his ideas are still alive.

[strateguy632]
