We love Philosopher Dolls but....

Are three really enough?

How cool would it be to have a fourth philosopher doll.

So, who would you like to see?

  • Given the general Glitch ethos, seems like it should be William James.

    (And if there were Plato dolls, you could only get them in the caves.)

  • Timothy Leary. He could spoon feed you no-no and purple, then steal all your resources over an extended period of time under the guise of "sharing is caring".

    Would double in effectiveness if you also possessed the Aldus Huxley doll as well

    Squeezing either doll would enhance unlearning

  • Thoreau. All of the cabin houses would come equipped with one. It could spit out to the detail what you spent each day on rice, flour, etc. and bemoan all your Urldly possessions. What I really want to see are musician dolls, though. Keith Richards: "I just mixed my father's ashes with no-no powder and snorted him through a straaaw."

  • About copyrights... we can always pull off a 'Famous Sarcastic Doctor', instead of naming the plushie Dr. House... the same thing was done with the famous pugilist grill! XD

    Also, I vote for Rousseau.

  • i love the humorous vein of tin woodsman, calvin and hobbes , and capt. kirk .
    maybe a stoot one , holding a tiny hourglass full of grains of sand?

  • I'd love a Schrodinger's cat plushie, a Timothy Leary doll, all the scientists...Tesla would be great!
    My personal choice in philosophers would be Hume. 

    ps: There is only ONE doctor..who may or may not be sarcastic, but cannot be mistaken... he has a blue box.

  • What discussion of philosophy would be complete without the Bruce's song?

    Any of the below would be fine, I admit, obvious puns aside,  to being fond perhaps of Kant.

    ~~TJ Fuzzybut

    the Python's lyrics (from memory) below...

    Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
    Who was very rarely stable

    Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
    Who could think you under the table

    David Hume could out-consume
    Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel

    And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
    Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel

    There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raising of the wrist
    Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed

    John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
    On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill

    Plato, they say, could stick it away
    Half a crate of whiskey every day

    Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
    Hobbes was fond of his dram

    And René Descartes was a drunken fart
    I drink, therefore I am

    Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed...
    A lovely little thinker - But a bugger when he's pissed

  • I'm loving the Hunter S. Thompson suggestions.  It'd be fantastic to see him in digital doll form.

  • +1 for Decartes

    it would have a couple extra options:
    "I think" would generate another doll
    "I think not" would make it disappear :D

  • OMG yes Buffy Summers!!
    I'd upgrade my subscription if they released her, and Tesla, for sure.  :: nods nods ::

  • Gregor Samsa doll. 

    If you don't cuddle it enough, it turns into a bug that will be released the moment you return home, to run around your house and scare your animals--they won't produce meat, milk or grain until you find it and retrieve it by whistling it into a firefly jar (this takes some time and energy). 

    Then you must either apply a reversamorphosis potion to it to turn it back into a valuable doll, or release it as a bug outside your house.  If you release it, at some point later when it dies, you and everyone around you gets a nice mood boost.
