Hobbes
Cock Fights: People bet on two roosters who fight to the death. Just before one of the roosters kills the other, a third rooster (Father Cock a.k.a a priest rooster) comes out and settles the fight and stops the roosters from killing. Father Cock is a priest rooster and is therefore connected to god. This connection allows him to have the biggest voice of reason settling the argument between the roosters.
Hobbes believed that chaos was the natural order of the universe and everything would start in chaos. He was trying to fix this order of the universe.
Berkley
Virtual Reality: In this theme park activity, a user can hook up to a visual sensor and play god where their thoughts and ideas come to life.
Berkley believed that nothing existed beyond the gods mind and our actions are ideas in our soul which are essentially still god’s ideas. This allows the user to play god and create their own ideas and allow their own thoughts and feelings to interact.
Euthyphro
The Ideal-a-Coaster: Two roller coasters are set up side by side. The one coaster is ideal and brings the riders towards the perfect idea of their life. The other coaster has one loop and sends them back to the start.
Plato believed that only the ideal has perfection therefore the one coaster kills the riders sending them to perfection. The other coaster kills them but brings them back to life due to the fact that the coaster is not perfect.
Plotinus
Beauty Pageant: There is a beauty competition at the theme park where many girls enter the competition to try and prove they are the most beautiful. At the end the judges tell them they are all ugly.
Plotinus believes that only the divine and the symmetrical are beautiful and since the girls only have the symmetry, they are only half beautiful because they are shallow and immoral and are not close to god and would fight each other for the victory, causing their souls to be ugly.
The Pre- Socratics
Thales
Log Ride: A hollowed out log with people is sent down a stream to a massive waterfall which sends the people down into a massive underground tunnel. After the tunnel the log is catapulted into the air where it splits into many pieces and the surrounding water rains down on the earth. The people from the ride are catapulted straight into a heated spring where water is being evaporated in the form of steam.
This relates to Thales because he believed that water was the source of everything and existed in many forms such as liquid, steam, and ice and can also be found underwater, in the upper atmosphere and is essential to everyday life.
Anaxagoras
Nous Coaster: Four separate parts to the coaster. Each part starts in one of the four elements, earth, air, fire, water. The coasters start and after a while crash and combine into one super coaster called Nous. This coaster is the best coaster ever invented which flies, travels under water, digs tunnels underground and breaths fire.
Pythagoras
Immortal Gymnastic Centre: A centre where the souls of the dead return and inhabit gymnasts and perform.
Pythagoras believed that the soul was immortal and lived on even when the body dies and decays the soul lives on. Also, Pythagoras believed that music harmonized the mind whereas, medicine and gymnastics harmonized the body.
Anaximander
Kill-A-God: Design a stuffed god and then catapult it into the air and then shoot it.
Anaximander did not believe in the infinite and was an evolutionary person and did not believe in the divine.
Parmenides
KillA station: A station where a person is told to shoot one of two people and if the person does not shoot then both shootees will die. But it is an illusion so they don’t actually die.
Parmenides believed that the ideal world was unchanging and our world was all an illusion therefore what happened did not really matter until the ideal.
Zeno
Infinite line: A roller coaster that has a perceived end in the visually finite line, however the line is infinitely divisible causing the coaster to go on into infinity.
Zeno believed that a line can be infinitely divisible therefore; the visually finite line is infinite.
Heraclitus
Fire a Coaster: A roller coaster completely immersed in fire which drops flaming balls onto the gymnasts from the Immortal Gymnastic Centre.Believed that everything started from fire and Heraclitus was completely scornful of Pythagorean idealism.
Unity like uno abdominus therefore a good moves to very good!
