There is some great stuff in old philosophy:

"Anyone who denies the law of non-contradiction should be beaten and burned until he admits that to be beaten is not the same as not to be beaten, and to be burned is not the same as not to be burned."
--Avicenna

Arab philosophers living in Spain knew a thing or two about being beaten and burned, too.
