How much can you compress a philosophical idea before it loses it's meaning? Which philosophies can you fit onto a postcard?

CONCISION DOES NOT ANNUL MEANING.


>Which philosophies can you fit onto a postcard?

PHILOSOPHY IS A GENRE OF SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES, NOT SOMETHING CONCRETE AND READYMADE THAT YOU CAN SELECT AND PLAY WITH IT; YOU CONFLATE PHILOSOPHY WITH IDEOLOGY.

You can compress most philosophies into 3 words and some can even go down to 2 words. Nearly everything would be left up to interpretation though. That being said, theres never a hard point in any kind of explanation where nothing is left up to interpretation, language cant convey every single meaning you have
So you cant really convey a philosophical idea without it losing its meaning anyway. The only question is how much meaning you want to lose
Here are some 3 worded philosophies
"I am everything"
"We know nothing"
"Nothing has meaning"

Here are some 2 worded philosophies
"Be good"
"Be strong"
"Maximise pleasure"
