Heraclitus, Empedocles, Democritus

The trifecta of pre-Socratic philosophers:

  1. Heraclitus: “ War is the father of all and king of all”// “ to God, all things are beautiful, good, and right. Men however think some things are right and others wrong”—
  2. Empedocles: “ There is an exchange of all things for fire, and fire for all things… As good for gold and gold for goods”— the best way to think about money, maybe even bitcoin is to exchange it for other goods?// “ For it is by earth that we see earth, by water water, by air glorious air, by fire destructive fire, by love love, and strife by cruel strife”—
  3. Democritus: “Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity”. // “Man is a universe in miniature”.
