George Berkeley was born in Ireland and was educated at Trinity College in Dublin. During his Intro to Philosophy class, the Professor asserted, I drink, therefore I am drunk. George, immediately raised his hand and said, Honored sir, I believe the phrase is I think, not I drink. The Professor immediately said, Young man, thinking does not make you drunk. That is illogical. So, George decided he should move to England, where he became one of the three greatest British Empiricists. To think Ireland came that close to having a major Philosopher.
