A philosopher is produced on the average of
one per century. There was a four hundred
year gap in English philosophers between
Roger Bacon and Francis Bacon.
After Bacon there was an explosion of philosophers
on the Continent and in England. Both Descartes
and Kant only turned to philosophy to refute the
Novum Organum, both IRONICALLY dedicated
their works to Bacon, both undid Bacon's WHOLE
philosophy that knit TIME back to SPACE.
The ruined world we live in is because the
Strats would not leave Bacon as he was.
The English philosophers were inferior; Hobbes
carried off boxes of Bacon's papers that we will
never know, Hobbes was a contrarian, a philosopher
only by virtue that he made a mirror image reversal
of Bacon's philosophy.
How hard is that?
Two other better philosophers were Hume and
Berkeley, both indebted to Bacon. Newton admits
that he got his theory of gravity from Bacon, I
thought it came from the 'miners struggline with
ore' anecdote but I've since found the theory of
gravity in Bacon's works so that's what Newton
must have been referring to.
Hegel is another post-Baconian philosopher. The
German collective ego was crushed by Bacon and
'Shakespeare.'
Here's some of the things that those who personally
knew Bacon said about Bacon:
good looking
witty sense of humor
excitable , fine-tuned.
a planter of gardens
extravagant
free from malice
patient in adversity
tender-hearted toward offenders
Here's some of the things that 19th
century Strat critics who never met
Bacon said about him:
the cold fish
viper
England's one scoundrel
the false persona
the sterile philosopher
craven
the meanest of mankind
the creeping snake
That isn't to say that Bacon didn't have
enemies, Coke was unhappy because
Bacon had cuckholded him, and made a
four-hour speech against Bacon in Parliament,
calling him A Bastard (in Latin) A Felon,
Lawless, etc. Had Bacon not been such
a threat to the Strat Myth we would know
that Coke was many times the criminal
that Bacon was accused of being; Coke
was (COSMIC IRONY) tried and convicted
on the same law he'd CONCOCTED to frame
Bacon, was fined =C2=A3120,000 by Prince Charles,
spent two years in the Tower, had his baronies
and earldoms (which he'd bought) confiscated
along with many fine estates, all money from
bribes from suitors in his court.
Legal scholars, some of them very great like
Hallem, have cleared Bacon of all charges
but the Strats won't tell you that.
