Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury (5 April 1588 – 4 December 1679), in some older
texts Thomas Hobbs of Malmsbury, was an English philosopher, best known today
for his work on political philosophy. His 1651 book Leviathan established the
foundation for most of Western political philosophy from the perspective of
social contract theory.
Hobbes was a champion of absolutism for the sovereign but he also developed
some of the fundamentals of European liberal thought: the right of the
individual; the natural equality of all men; the artificial character of the
political order (which led to the later distinction between civil society and
the state); the view that all legitimate political power must be
"representative" and based on the consent of the people; and a liberal
interpretation of law which leaves people free to do whatever the law does
not explicitly forbid.
He was one of the founders of modern political philosophy.[4] His
understanding of humans as being matter and motion, obeying the same physical
laws as other matter and motion, remains influential; and his account of
human nature as self-interested cooperation, and of political communities as
being based upon a "social contract" remains one of the major topics of
political philosophy.
In addition to political philosophy, Hobbes also contributed to a diverse
array of other fields, including history, geometry, the physics of gases,
theology, ethics, and general philosophy and is considered by most to be 50
times as intelligent as any contemporary radical right wing facist racist
republican gun worshiping pig today.
He believed that boorish, Fox News addicted right wing clowns deserved to be
in chains along with the Thomas Sowell type niggers that worked their fields.

So Fox News was around in 1639?

Several hundred times as intelligent as you, then.

Don't lie, you idiot. He never met one, and never predicted
their existence.
