Pepe essentially sees no difference since he is a reductionist and sees other people's philosophy as not particularly worth the effort deciphering.
Pepe prefers to engage in metacognition to define his own conceptual, errr, concepts.
Pepe never goes on strike,
Pepe is a kool dude. 8)

i.e. Pepe willfully reduces his horizon to his own madness, which he considers superior to other people's madness.

Americans now have to stand in line... and wait long hours to get their daily rations, as the crippling philosopher's strike goes into it's second week.

Considering philosophers got ignored in favour of financial analysts for the last 40 (neoliberal) years, it's funny how what you're describing is what's actually on the news these days

Philosophers: I think, therefore I am.

Philosphers go on strike, hence cease "thinking".

This "strike" could go on for quite some time, I expect.

Euclid analyses the interior angles of Plath's bicycle spokes as they transect Chesterton's fence. He scribbles furiously on papyrus, as Hegel tries to read his own work. An anthithetical swarm of murder hornets kills Hegel for his own good, then proceeds to chase Plath, who is concussed from her fall and complains of hunger. Deftly, she captures the hornets in a small glass jar adorned with her bicycle bell, before stumbling home to eat.


It does not give any information on how the spokes were laced. Radial? 2 cross? 3 cross? 4 cross? There are only so many ways in which one can lace a bicycle wheel.

It works very well for Pepe.
If that is Pepe's level,
And it works for Pepe,
Why should Pepe care about what non-Pepes think?

And Pepe wonders, :scratch:
Why was it necessary to say that Pepe is in madness?

And Pepe also wonders where he said he thinks he is superior to non-Pepes?
Pepe doesn't have to say it.
Every non-Pepe knows it. 8)

Pepe is just doing what a Pepe does. :mrgreen:

Pepe skunk,
Pepe skunk,
Does whatever a Pepe skunk can.

Is he punk,
Or is he drunk,
Who would have thunk he could avoid a ban?

Here comes the Pepe skunk. :mrgreen:

At this point, Ovid and Epicurus, attracted by the idea of keeping it mellow, appear at Pepe's house to sell weed.

Pepe has no need for weed.
Hey, that rhymes. :mrgreen:
But Pepe gives back rubs if any non-Pepe wants one. 8)

In solidarity I stopped thinking.
But once I stopped thinking I became anti-union.
But then my first thought was worrying about being a scab.
Now I've gotta headache. :cry:

The Philosophers' Strike continues into its fifth straight week, with no end in sight.  Union leaders promise to continue the strike until everyone starts taking philosophers just as seriously as scientists.

If the strike goes on, we can only expect the philosophy shortage to increase, and experts worry that people will soon no longer be able to know whether or not it is possible to know if they know what they think they know, or not.

Experts warn that the strike could have far-reaching impacts in aesthetics, ethics, and logic.  In particular, the struggling Metaphysics industry may not be able to survive a prolonged conflict.

Since the strike began, some scientists have attempted to fill in doing philosophy, with disastrous results.


I like your post, but I can't help thinking of the time you got annoyed at another member for making a satirical post without signposting it as such. 8)

More philosophers on strike...

Largely incomprehensible, but that's philosophy for you!

:D

It's getting ugly.

They just now sent police in to break up the picket lines.

The cops are beating the strikers with...the club of reason!


And the strikers are fighting back by brandishing ....Occam's Razor!

Wittgenstein left picket line, thinking that he "solved" all the strikers' grievances.
