User:Smerdis of Tlön
From RationalWiki
“”Ante principium erat quædam teſtudo. Et iſta teſtudo ſola fuit. Et circumſpicit, et vidit vicinam eius, quæ mater ſua erat; et ſe depoſuit ſuper vicinam eius, et ecce, paruit ei in lacrimis quercum, quæ omne die creuit, et tunc decidit, et fecit pontem. Et ecce, ſub iſto ponte venit ſilurus, et ambulabat, et valde magnus erat, et fuit maximus quod vidit. Et tales autem fuerent colei ignei haec piſcis, ex quibus vnus erat Sol; et alter, Lunam appellauerunt.

Smerdis of Tlön here. You may know me as Ihcoyc on Wikipedia. I'm here mostly so you folks can help me think up a new, original, lucrative, and convincing pseudoscience.

Arthur Schopenhauer figured out most of the implications of evolution and natural selection well before the principles themselves were formulated.
