A rather infamous indictment of Greek thought is Aristotle's theory of gravity: Objects fall at a rate proportional to their mass. Actually standing up and testing this with a stick and a rock would have taken him less than a minute. But performing actual physical experiments was undignified.

Thats why science works. Its not that scientists don't come up with wrong or weird ideas it's that there's a mechanism for saying "nah thats not right" besides a more famous philosopher.

Physicist: I can discover the secrets of the universe! I just need paper, pencil, a trashcan, and a billion dollar supercolider!

Mathematician: I can discover the secrets of the universe! I just need paper, pencil, a trashcan!

Philosopher: Hah. I don't even need the trashcan.

The trashcan IS the universe!

Or vice versa.

I figure I might dabble in some light existentialism. And maybe google existentialism.

At the very least I'll stand on the corner yelling gibberish and throwing squirrels at passing cars.

Time is a son of a b%%#&!

But is that a positive thing? :P

I don't know...

Well, just know the project did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. How far have you made it so far?

Too far.

Okay, so you might to sit down. So a few years ago, some government spooks worked out this crazy thing called "Arpanet"...

:P

So, it's a Terminator then? Does Skynet know?!

Was Dark Fate right?!!

Has someone warned John Connor?!!!

I don't know...

Oh sh*t. I'm a fictional character?!

I'll still hang out with you even if you don't actually exist.

I can confirm that.

My Plan:

I will dump the anti-matter in the ship's wake, and fire up the
turbo-after space burners to ignite it. Then, pull a jiggy-dog Zordac
evasive maneuver to get the burning anti-matter between the Enterprise
and the Klingons. And, then jumped away at Plaid speed warp-11.

To counter the the expected Corbomite counter-maneuver, I will have a
multi-pass strategically hidden in my pants.

Did you pass?

You answer your own question then ask yourself for a follow up?

Are we okay?

Are we sure it's not a mirage.

And yet none of you live in Wisconsin, the birthplace of D&D.

Wait, am I The Normal One..

Of course, that begs the question, if I'm standing completely still, am I even there.. there goes my productivity for the day!

Wait a minute, I'm gen X!

OMG! Hi, Impus Minor!

Hello, I’m on this forum now

You sure about that?

It doesn't matter if it exists as long as I can touch myself.

Oh, why hello there, handsome!

Closes door, turns on some mellow jazz.

Are we here yet?

I'm just starting today!

Essential.

I don't know what I am...

Usually the songs sound really good

What if the song isn't any good, but you dream that it's good?!

What if you aren't dreaming at all!

I'm here. I know Vank was worried. I sleep again. Meds.

But, if you're here, where am I...

You sure about that?
