CARTESIAN DUALISM!!

Rene Descartes walks into a resturant and sits down for dinner. The waiter comes over and asks if he'd like an appetizer

"No thank you" says Descartes, "I'd just like to order dinner"

"Would you like to hear our daily specials?" asks the waiter

"No" says Descartes, getting impatient

"Would you like a drink before dinner?" the waiter asks

Descartes is insulted, since he's a tee-totaler

"I think not!" he says indignantly, and POOF! he disappeared.

Sartre is sitting at a cafe. He says to the waitress, "I'd like a cup of coffee, with no cream." The waitress says, "Sorry, but we're out of cream. How about with no milk?"

Hegel:  so what can you tell me about synthetic a priori judgements?
Kant:   that they are practically grounded in transcendental apperception by my faculty of pure imagination.

It is an unfortunate fact that every man who seeks to disseminate knowledge must contend not only against ignorance itself, but against false instruction as well. No sooner do we deem ourselves free from a particularly gross superstition, than we are confronted by some enemy to learning who would plunge us back into the darkness -H.P.Lovecraft


He who fights with monsters must take care lest he thereby become a monster -Nietzsche

Ever heard the one about the 3 Zen Masters that walked into a bar?

Nothing really happened.
You can't get out backward.  You have to go forward to go back.. better press on! - Willie Wonka, PBUH

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

"Ayn Rand never swung a hammer in her life and had serious dominance issues" - The Fountainhead

"World domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer to call it world optimisation."
- Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality :lulz:

"You program the controller to do the thing, only it doesn't do the thing.  It does something else entirely, or nothing at all.  It's like voting."

"It's not even chaos anymore. It's BANAL."

EDIT:
Q.) What's  the difference between an honest person and a magnetic monopole?
A.) It's possible that we may eventually find a magnetic monopole.

EDIT:
Q.) What's the difference between Rene Descartes and the Marquis de Sade?
A.) One was the most brilliant philosopher in the history of France, the other invented analytical geometry.

EDIT:
Q.) How many eastern myatics does it take to change a lightbulb?
A.) None. Change must come from within.

Edit:

Q.) Why did the chicken cross the road?
A.) It didn't. To cross the road it would first to cross half the road, and then cross half the remaining distance, and then half the distance remaining after that, and so on ad infinitum. No matter how thin the road it would always require an infinite number of actions to cros it and from this we can conclude that motion does not exist.

The action of Also Sprach Zarathustra took place on Holy Saturday
