This is the mythological version of the history of philosophy, which is two times removed from actual philosophy. Also, everyone and their mother can tell you that Thales was the father of philosophy even within the mythological telling. Even if you don’t give him credit, Paremenides and Anaxagoras are still there and are literally credited in the Socratic dialogues as tremendous figures.

Fucking philistine business school pricks slept through an elective and think they should be educators on the subject.
