Peter Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 From The Readers Digest, perhaps not epistemology or philosophy, but a deep thought. As we watched a program about a man with agoraphobia, my wife asked, “Is that a disability?” “Yes,” I answered. “Maybe I have that.” I shook my head. “No. He’s afraid to leave the house. You just like to stay home.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merjet Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Causes of death of philosophers. https://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/people/teaching-research-pages/mellor/dhm11/deaths-ac.html Another one for Cantor -- infinite regress. Another one for Ayn Rand -- overdose of shellfish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 I got this on a Carl Jung site here. This is one for the Kantian sublime feeling. "One must still have Chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star." -- Friedrich Nietzsche. Betcha can't unsee or unthink that. As the saying goes, Nietzsche is pietzsche. I'm going to stop as I look in awe at what my future might be as a star... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 I wish I had made this one up, but I didn't. I found it out there somewhere in the Interwebs. A horse walked into a bar and orders a beer. The barkeep says, "You're in here pretty often. Do you think you might be an alcoholic?" The horse replies, "I don't think I am," and vanishes from existence. This story is about Descartes' saying, "I think; therefore, I am. But this could not be explained first because the story would be putting Descartes before the horse. Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 I found a weird meme. I don't know why I find it funny, but the more I think on it, the more I spontaneously chuckle. And I'm not laughing at Robert De Niro or his pained expression. I just chuckle. Maybe it's the canned beverage tipped over on top of the mug. That's happening in one hell of a context... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Norris Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 A while back I heard this joke on The Simpsons of all places. I was surprised it was actually funny, contained some truth, and is about Ayn Rand (because I very rarely see any jokes about her that aren't just ignorant and mean). From Season 26 Episode 5: Isabel: Conservatives only get more conservative. Because every year they get a little bit further through Atlas Shrugged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 I don't know where to put this, but I found it so true, I cracked up. (I speak as one who used to have that look. ) LOL... Not true for everyone in O-Land, but "Uncanny Valley" nails the Randroid look.
