Philosophy thread

I read that Saddam Hussein had 3 "body doubles" aka doppelgängers.

If you have more than one doppelgänger, is any doppelganger above the first one technically still a doppelgänger?

Or would it go then "triplegänger", "quadruplegänger" and so on???

if you are the doopelganger of a doppelganger, I mean, you are even more lame

Surely it would be "dreifachgänger" and "vierfachgänger"?

You have confused counting with philosophy.

but my excuse is that "counting thread" sounds less interesting.

I declare this an open thread for random stuff now

Here's a big secret I want to share:

Whenever I read "Elon Musk" in some news headline an image of Elton John with funny sunglasses comes to my mind. I can't do anything against it. It's strange and magic

[Wezil]

I think Elon Musk is a douche but I like that he makes me money.

[BeBMan]

I don't know what to make of him. He seems to be a part-douche, part-doing-the-right-thing guy

But my rule of thumb is that a rich guy may be a decent rich guy philantrop when there's a conspiracy theory about how he's controlling everything (like: Bill Gates, George Soros etc.)

[-Jrabbit]

If ever you find yourself thinking that a billionaire is a "do the right thing" guy, you are wrong.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I think he reads a lot of Heinlein. He's doing The Man Who Sold the Moon and The Roads Must Roll - I just hope he doesn't have an underage sister.

[N35t0r]

It's funny, it seems like Tesla Musk and SpaceX Musk are two different people.

The guy in charge of SpaceX is halfway decent. The one heading Tesla is a total douchebag *******. He did single-handedly push electric EVs forward by at least 10 years, so he gets my respect for that.
