phil nye the philosopher guy - locke and leib lyrics

[verse 1: phil nye the philosopher guy]

first things first, let me say that you’re mistaken
i’ll tell it to you slow, you’ll see the sense that i’m makin’
rationalism is wack, it don’t make no sense g
knowing when you’re born, now how can that be?
empirical learning is the only way to go
learning through our senses like taste and audio
i’ll only say this once, so hold up, listen closely
empiricism’s the way, so now you know, sì?

[verse 2: shrill phil]

hold up one second, i’ll tell you how we learn
since the start of time, knowledge is what we yearn
from every generation, lessons are p-ssed down
without these understandings, earth would be a ghost town
these innate ideas are keeping us alive
rationalism is the best way to live our lives

[verse 3: phil nye the philosopher guy]

huh? d-mn. i can see your eyes glazing
i’ll say this again so please keep from all that phasing
so how do empiricists like i know and learn?
we base on understanding and what we discern
gained from experience and things like what you know
did i get that through your head, you f-cking d-ld-?
called a posteriori, taught by john locke
compared to leibniz, he was a real sherlock
think tabula rasa, meaning a white sheet
we write down all we know, like a 280 tweet

[verse 4: shrill phil]

sorry, my dude. i think you are mistaken
a priori is how you will awaken
some people have natural abilities
while some others have less capability
our five senses give us an opinion
like candles melt to wax, we know that through our vision
logic and reason is how we make conclusions
leibniz’s teachings should rid of your confusion

[verse 5: lil phil]

you don’t have to decide
locke or leib
locke or leib

locke, the empircist, believed
that the whole world is perceived
through our experiences and senses
however many remain on the fences

leibniz, the rationalist, opposed locke
thought locke was all talk
leibniz believed in the human mind
logic and reasoning resides through mankind

you don’t have to decide
locke or leib
locke or leib

immanuel kant was the guy
who understood why
locke and leib’s beliefs
were way too freaking brief

to empiricists, the cause and effect concept was a fuss
rationalists claim we p-ssively perceive the world around us
humans all over the world are actively knowing
knowledge is the synthesis of senses and understanding
kant’s summation forever changed the game
cementing himself in philosophy’s hall of fame
