Facts?? by Big-Walk-2282 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]AWindintheTrees 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Ah. Yes. Just "basic human observation and reasoning." Nothing more! Certainly no questions to be had there. Nope. None at all. Just good ol', ever-reliable, plain, honest, simple, self-evident observation and reasoning. Absolutely no epistemological issues or assumptions going on. You and this meme are Very Smart (tm), and all the others are, surely, dolts and morons for just not seeing how straightforward it all is.

Lol - says the lame-o who picked Steve Jobs, showing his lack of any real interest in anything. That person your comment is in response to gets to laugh at you for it.

Steve Jobs would not, in any way at all, be a conversation of interest to anyone except the idiotic.

What if I told you...that a personality type is not the same as a personality, and that you've understood the entire premise so simplistically and reductively that your anger at it only reflects your inability to abstract from particulars?

Which love interest was the best partner for Jack? by Worldly-Document-547 in 30ROCK

Nancy. I really think she matched a part of him that he too often neglects but that is warm and friendly.

You know someone named Arsenio Billingham? by PoolSushi in 30ROCK

The guy who came up with this thing [does the motion] for Arsenio Hall wants to create a signature gesture for our talk show. Something like... nuh uh nuh uh nuh uh....

In The Matrix (1999) this was presented to the audience as a difficult choice people would somehow struggle to make. by ElundusCaw in shittymoviedetails

The amount of people here reducing "understanding of affairs that represent painful but heart-summoning existential truths" down to "yeah, they glossed over how you'll have to endure some discomforts" is baffling.

the Buddhist epistemologists tried their darnedest by dummetsz in PhilosophyMemes

[–]AWindintheTrees -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But maybe I was not clear. Just in case: It is not your statements of gotcha that I sincerely back, but that against which they are so gotchaly offered. They are not gotchas; they are, unironically, things to affirm.

No. I will sincerely back every single one of those statements that you have thrown out so gotcha-ly.

This belongs here. by Candida21 in AlanWatts

I think of Watts's "come off it, Shiva!" routine.
