Philosophy - The Funny, the Bad and the Groaners


Recommended Posts

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.”

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...

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.

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...

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.
