It's a fairly overdone question, but I don't think I've ever seen it on Veeky Forums before. So what historical figures would you want to invite to your dinner party? (Obviously everyone understands one another and is perfectly happy to talk with you) Just to name a few of my own: >Leonardo da Vinci >Napoleon >Julius Caesar >Mark Twain >Alexander the Great >Voltaire
I wouldn't be surprised if this thread is mostly just people posting without replying to each other, but I'm always curious whose brains people would love to pick if given the chance to talk with them.
David Watson
>Napoleon >Julius Caesar >Aristotle >Socrates >Augustus >Nero(Just to ask if him really burn Rome,hahaha)
I'd make a big "Let's understand the History of my country better" dinner.
Clovis Charlemagne Louis IX Jeanne d'Arc François I Louis XIV Napoléon Napoléon III Clémanceau Pétain Charles de Gaulle Richelieu Voltaire Diderot Montesquieu Robespierre Talleyrand
And probably many others. Honestly I wish I could talk to like half the people I read about.
Luke Reyes
>Diogenes >Stirner >Marx >Trump I just want a good shitshow.
Noah Garcia
Voltaire is just going to shitpost all over your party with his epic memes.
Adrian Evans
I think Marx and Adam Smith would be a perfect shitstorm,
Or just other "rivalries" throughout history >Scipio/Hannibal >Nap/Wellesley >Lee/Grant
James Wilson
None of those would even understand what any of the others are talking about.
Jonathan Lewis
> everyone understands one another Read the OP
Jason Scott
It's not a question of language.
Colton Gutierrez
These all would be boring dinner parties. You guys need some fun guys. I think dinner would be bland, however a night on the town with Alkibiades and Petronius would be one hell of an adventure
Jace Walker
It's just a fun conversation topic user. You're not supposed to overthink it.
Cameron Hernandez
Wrong. They would probably agree on certain points concerning capitalism and its contradictions, but yes eventually it'll turn into a shitstorm hahaha gues you're right
Ayden Gomez
Stephen F. Austin, Moses Austin, Bowie, Sam Houston, Travis, Davy Crockett and the Lafitte Brothers. We'd laugh at what Mexico is now, and discuss Texit.
Brody Foster
>Marcus Aurelius >Emperor Julian >Basil the Second >Paul of Tarsus >Lenin >Voltaire >Sartre >Charlemagne >the Buddha
I'd probably spend the night flirting with Basil my husbando :33
Levi Clark
>Petain and de Gaulle at the same table
I see no possible way that this could lead to anything but a pleasant dinner conversation. I'm supposing that these people would have all the knowledge they attained during their lifetimes.
I'd love to listen in on Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Gorbachev and Putin blaming/ praising each other for the varying states of Russia, actually, what the hell, throw In Nicky II & Alex II as well for good measure
Robert Wright
>Bring Karl Marx over for dinner >Make sure there's no food in the house >He arrives >"What are we eating?" >Tell him I have no food and we cannot take anyone elses >Order a pizza >Have food delivered to my doorstep because of capitalism, tip the delivery guy and enjoy eating my delicious pizza
