I must be a nazi, it said Martin Heidegger.
I think I am closer to Robert Heinlein actually.
Just started reading a book by him which never got published in
his lifetime, in fact rejected twice, written in 1938! Its
called 'For us the living" and its easy to see why it was rejected.
It is like the dna of his later books, 'Stranger in a strange land',
Lazuris Long (Time enough for love) to name a few.

I love Hume's description;
You are David Hume. You single-handedly made monkeys out of guys with a lot more education and experience than you, making you the most famous empirical skeptic who has ever existed. You believed that all ideas were merely copies of sensations, and with this simple principle you almost destroyed all of philosophy, not to mention religion, ethics, and the basis of natural science. While you give us no assurances that we are justified in any of our most treasured beliefs, you never let these pain-in-the-ass views stop you from enjoying a beer and a good game of billiards at the end of the day.
Maybe other can post the other descriptions? They'd be good to read!
