Bringing my shtick over here. I realize that the intersection of these two circles is approximately ten people and I know them all.
[ID: Six slides with three green leaves in the corner and an @pretensesoup watermark. Slide one: Things I have told my children because I studied philosophy. Slide 2: I am the panopticon. I govern you so someday you will become self-policing. Slide 3: If one stuffy always tells the truth and the other always lies...What would Barktrand Russell say if I asked if you'd brushed your teeth? Slide 4: Your bicycle is not the trolley problem. You are morally culpable if you run your brother over. Slide 5: Let's examine the differance between roasted veggies and dessert. Slide 6: Life is pain.]

I genuinely want to know how one reads Kafka and then comes to the conclusion that the man was a “happy and well adjusted guy.” No hate to the og poster, I just think it’s kind of funny.

Chaotic Teacher Quotes
Because I just finished my degree, I compiled a list of some of my favorite things my professors have said this past semester:
“To shower or not to shower, that is the question.”
“My parents were baby boomers, which means they were on drugs and had sex and that’s how I happened.” “I’m not kidding. That’s true.”
“Ok, how does everyone feel about nostrils?”
“I like to remind my wife that she’s older than me. Every year on my birthday I’m like, oh my god, I’m almost as old as you!”
“That’s the best way to learn: forget and then remember. The only better way is to learn it drunk and then learn it sober. …Grad school is a lot of fun.”
“Is Dungeons & Dragons legit as a religious institution? Let’s discuss.”
“Punxsutawney Phil, the little beaver— not a beaver, the, you know, the marmot, HE DIED. I mean, what does that mean for our weather?? If he sees his shadow it’s six more weeks of winter but WHAT IF HE DIES??”
“We can’t have negative time— if it’s negative, you’re dead. Just like the groundhog.”
“Are we ultimately born of divine incest?”
“This whole thing is complex, very convoluted. But so is my sister, and I still love her.”
“You might ask yourself, what do I do with a big chunk of text? In many cases, the first step is to burn it with fire.”
“This is good information for those of you thinking of starting a cult.”
“I drive a stick-shift, you can’t steal my car. If you look at the thing, you wouldn’t want to, but the point is, you CAN’T.” “It’s got nothing, I almost literally have to go out with a lighter and turn on the headlights myself.”
“Do you think we could rewrite The Lord of the Rings in limerick meter? Potentially a good idea for your finals.”
“Does that freak anyone out? If it doesn’t, you might not be paying attention!!!”
“Here we read that Tiamat and Apsu had ‘mixed their waters together’— I guess that’s what the kids call it these days.”
“You know how in America we’re very vulnerable to British accents?”
“If you know what you’re doing, it’ll take about thirty minutes; if you don’t know what you’re doing, maybe forty; and if you really don’t know what you’re doing, it’ll take five.”
“Cockroaches gonna cockroach, everybody with me?”
“Right now I’m being a pain-in-the-ass materialist.” “You feel? Hold the phone.” “Conscience? What do we do with people who don’t have that? Like me.”
“Who here is familiar with the term ‘shitification’?”
“Academia is like a hospital: if you don’t work there, don’t stick around.”
“I always want you all to walk out of this classroom with a little bit more of the weight of despair on your shoulders.” “Are you feeling it?”

"What's a Zen?" he said.
The Fool's bells tinkled as he sorted through his cards. Without thinking, he said: "Oh, a sub-sect of the Turnwise Klatch philosophical system of Sumtin, noted for its simple austerity and the offer of personal tranquillity and wholeness achieved through meditation and breathing techniques; an interesting aspect is the asking of apparently nonsensical questions in order to widen the doors of perception."
"How's that again?" said the cook suspiciously. [...]
The Fool hesitated with a card in his hand, suppressed his panic and thought quickly.
"I'faith, nuncle," he squeaked, "thou't more full of questions than a martlebury is of mizzensails."
The cook relaxed.
Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters

writing fry like a child:
unoriginal
flanderizes his stupidity in the same way as every other flanderized 'stupid' character out there
vaguely ableist
makes his relationship with leela very weird
writing bender like a child:
comically surreal for his species
reframes his egotism in a more funny/compelling/sympathetic way by just having him in a perpetual developmental stunt
somewhat canon compliant (he started the series as a two-year-old)
makes his relationship with fry and leela even funnier
