Existential Comics

You, stupid troll: "ah, I have made you mad, this means that I am correct!" Me, master of debate: "but have you considered, my dear fellow, that sometimes I get mad at stupidity."

people say they want more complex comics about analytic philosophy, but whenever i make one no one reads it. i know all y'all really just want like a drawing of Adorno kicking Hegel in the balls saying something like "now THAT'S what i call negative dialectics!!"

There are four basic ways of doing philosophy: 1. Criticizing commonly held beliefs. 2. Advancing novel ideas about reality. 3. Working on philosophical puzzles. 4. Whatever the fuck Nietzsche was doing.

We need STEM majors in order to make technically improvements to our society. But sometimes our society is bad. We need the humanities to realize that.

Republicans: "corporations should rule over every aspect of society." Democrats: "yes, but they should be more polite about it."

Eugenics in science fiction is funny because they are always breeding a race of hyper intelligent super soldiers or something. Guys, if they do eugenics they will select for the same traits as they did for dogs: 1. Subservient workers who love their master. 2. Good looks.

Who can forget Lenin's first five year plan? It's too bad he didn't live to see it through. Year 1: lady superheroes. Year 2: make the outfits of girls in video games less slutty. Still a bit slutty obviously, but just like…normal slutty. Year 3-4: ??? Year 5: communism.

Avengers Endgame spoilers: it cannot ultimately distract you from the despair that haunts the core of your being.

A neoliberal is someone who thinks that they've proven scientifically, using math and stuff, that everyone should obey the rich.

People defend capitalism by saying shit like "we want equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome" LMAO. Have you seen society? Don't you think we'd have more "equality of opportunity" if some people weren't born millionaires and everyone had to actually work for a living?

Philosophers: "we don't know shit." Scientists: "empirically speaking, we don't know shit." Some dude on YouTube who skimmed three Wikipedia articles: "yeah I'm pretty sure I've got everything figured out."

Should convicts be allowed to vote? Uh...they are alive and...living in a democracy, right? What is the controversy? If we want to take away the vote from people whose interests don't align with society at large, let's start with landlords.

If we ever encounter an advanced alien species I hope they also have big controversies over their video games no longer sexualizing one of their genders quite as much as they used to, just so we don't look like total fucking weirdos in front of the whole Galaxy.

How to be popular on: Facebook: be popular, post about your life. Instagram: be hot, post about your vacation. Twitter: be weird, post about how you are ready to give your life to the coming revolution.

People think capitalism is the default state of nature, but we also find it bizarrely unnatural. Imagine, for example, if an alien species arrived on Earth and we asked them why they came, and they responded that they were trying to maximize value for the shareholders.

According to the Stoic doctrine of apatheia, one should not be bothered by the fact that someone carelessly translates "apatheia" as "apathy", leading to misleading and inaccurate representations for comedic effect.

After witnessing the success of Game of Thrones, we can conclusively say that Tolkien's big mistake in Lord of the Rings was not including constant graphic sex scenes. Who cares about what happens to the One Ring if we don't simultaneously get to know about Aragorn's cock?

The funniest anti-communist argument is that "it is human nature to be selfish." As though property rights naturally follow from this fact, and ten thousand workers should devote their lives to enrich the one man who owns the factory, because they are…naturally selfish?
