I have.

Try reading their stuff before you commit to dating that. 

I do think that a lot of what you say is similar to what they say. This
doesn’t mean they were right. Only that you think like them. Zeno used
thinking like that to “prove” that motion is impossible. Thales used
thinking like this to “prove” that the fundamental essence of everything is
water. 

So try diving into their stuff and see what kind of trouble you can get
into real quick.
