Why does philosophy constantly twist things into an over complicated mythical mess, and then act like it’s some novel insight?
I cannot stand that either, but this sort of pseudo-profundity is more common in some specific schools of thought, rather than philosophy in general.
Does a tree falling in the woods with nothing to hear it make a sound?
It’s probably № 1 on my list of stupidest questions. The answer is yes.
The first time, I was barely sedated and had traumatizing hallucinations for what felt like ten minutes but what was probably less than a minute.
The second time, I was heavily sedated to the point of double vision and cannot remember anything after I put the mask on.
I found waking up unpleasant in both cases because of the paralytic agent.
That’s a hilarious thing to say out of context.
“Single pixel” is an interesting way of putting it.
That comment made me imagine a bunch of people sitting in a movie theater, watching a film that consists of nothing but a giant square that keeps changing colors and brightness, with the soundtrack from another film. The film is called “Blindness Simulator.”
