>so autistic he thought monism meant one thing and only one thing exists
Is Bertrand Russell the broodfather of autism?

Where does he say that? Are you sure he wasn't talking specifically about Parmenides?

He says he thinks monism is bunk because common sense always told him that there are a plurality of things, not just one thing. I wish I was making this shit up lol

He's wrong, you know. It's actually both.

Monism isn't "there's only one thing" but the "the unity is more fundamental than its parts"
>>916680
Russell was a neutral monist himself.

His talk of the Pre-Socratics is like a highschooler. He insists on calling them nothing more than scientists because he can't read between the lines or even understand sometimes philosophers speak metaphorically.
Russell is the simpleton who thinks he was deep when he invented the tepid water, aka type theory.
He is a famous hedonist too.
