Theo: Look what I found today from Xenophanes:
“The Gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us; but in he course of time,
Through seeking, men find that which is the better,
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor will he know it; neither of the gods,
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
And even if by chance he wee to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it;
For all is but a woven web of guesses.”
Fifo: What a tragedy! Do you hear that echo on Kant and Stirner? Do you hear The Tractatus’ voice of logical and ethical agony of silence here? Do you hear Nietzsche turning and laughing in his grave? They despair. Xenophanes stole their ignoramus glory with his terse and clear verses of truth.
Theo: Dah…Xeno mocked then and dear to announce ‘fame that will reach all of Greece, and never die while the Greek kind of songs survives.’ Those greeks! Those greeks!

Fifo: A new visitor in this cave. Epicurus, Wie geht es Ihnen? Did you believe that the world was knowable. I think that you screwed up!
