I don’t care how much of a “sckeptical stance” you want to take. Bruce. Lee. Is. Cool.
I really feel an as a lifelong martial artist and MMA practitioner that Bruce Lee’s fans have made him so insanely uncool that I don’t ever want to hear about him ever again. I am so tired of being told that all of the best fighters in the world would absolutely lose to him one-on-one and he had all these magic powers despite never fighting professionally on camera. He’s an actor first and foremost and he knew he wouldn’t do super well in professional fighting and hence never entered that arena.
I don’t think Bruce Lee being cool is dependent on whether or not he was a “real” martial artist. He can just be cool as an actor.
I don’t think the comic is implying anything beyond this.
Boooooo!
The whole Greek philosophy thing would have gone very differently if they’d had television.
Maybe. We don’t actually know, because most of our information about the skeptics and stoics come from their detractors. Very little of their actual beliefs made it into writing that survived the years.
If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t have posted this comic.
Don’t fuck with the professional skeptics, kid. There is no limit to raw existential skepticism. All of your intentions are suspect…
Or are they? And what is suspected?
And am I talking to you or the audience? Why would I be talking to you when I don’t even know if you’re a real person or a bot? Is the audience listening? Am I listening? Am I real person? I think, therefore I am, but what happens when I’m not thinking?
From what I remember of it, you might enjoy ExistenZ.
