[b]Existential Comics
I’ve always been a big fan of the consistency of the laws of physics over space and time. I hope that sticks around.[/b]
Or at least until we’re all dead and gone.
The best thing about philosophy is that all the great philosophers in history were basically wrong about almost everything, so there’s really not that much pressure to be right.
And we do our bit here to carry that tradition on. Well, you more than me of course.
[b]These right wing “self help” gurus are pretty surreal. They are like:
- Exercise regularly.
- Focus on concrete goals.
- Find supportive friends.
- Women are serpentine creatures that undermine society and must be tamed by a dominant will.
- Stay hydrated.[/b]
See if you can spot the outlier.
[b]How be an existentialist:
- Drink constantly, but because of angst, not alcoholism.
- Don’t get any work done, but because of existential anxiety, not laziness.
- Sleep with tons of people, but because you are fleeing nihilistic despair, not horniness.[/b]
How be a nihilist? Just double it.
To paraphrase Jean-Paul Sartre, all of the mistakes that I’ve made in my life were made because I wasn’t extremely online enough.
Explain this please.
[b]“…wealth disparity grows to unprecedented levels…”
Republicans: what if we gave tax cuts to the rich.
Democrats: what if instead we did absolutely nothing.[/b]
We don’t call it a two-party system for nothing.
