Wait, hang on a minute. Judging solely by the title, History, Humanity, Philosophy, as well as the tags, "philosophy" and "documentary" and a bunch of foreign-sounding names, I think - and correct me if I'm wrong here, as I know it's a stretch - that this is a 3-part Google video "documentary" on the "philosophy" of the guys in the tags. I know cthuljew didn't make this very clear with his cryptic title and tags. It's easy to see why someone would wonder what the links are about.

A philosophy professor walks in to give his class their final. Placing his chair on his desk the professor instructs the class, "Using every applicable thing you've learned in this course, prove to me that this chair DOES NOT EXIST."
So, pencils are writing and erasers are erasing, students are preparing to embark on novels proving that this chair doesn't exist, except for one student. He spends thirty seconds writing his answer, then turns his final in to the astonishment of his peers.
Time goes by, and the day comes when all the students get their final grades... and to the amazement of the class, the student who wrote for thirty seconds gets the highest grade in the class.
His answer to the question: "What chair?"

Once when I was helping to teach a philosophy course on freewill, one of the coursework questions set was 'did you freely choose to answer this question rather than the other one?'. One (cocky) student wrote something along the lines of 'I choose not to write an answer to this question, so bye...'
I failed him.

And a 1 and a 2 and a 3 and ...
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

It's a couple of documentaries, one on Heidegger and one on Sartre. And they are on Google video.

So, anyone play Too Human? How about Destroy All Humans?
Finally: Is there any potential for a crossover Destroy All Too Humans game(a la MK v DC)?

Uh, yeah. I'm dumb. The first link is meant to be this, about Nietzsche.
