Now that I have made it into the big time with my appearance
on Existential Comics, I think I should consider seriously a new career.
Perhaps philosophical standup with guest appearances at weddings and bar
mitzvahs. I mean, I don’t look much like Woody Allen but perhaps for virtual
appearances a little photo shopping could be arranged.
Alternatively, with millions of schoolchildren distance learning this fall, perhaps I could make a little money doing virtual AP
philosophy courses.
Anybody want a job as my agent?
It's all downhill from here...

ReplyDeleteMaybe you could team up with Kripke and the two of you could do a version of "Who's on First?"....
ReplyDeleteAndrew, in which possible world?
ReplyDelete. Kripke's comedic talents are woefully underestimated. His knock-knock jokes are the best.I would give an example here, but they're way too obscene. Oh, what the hell, here's one: Kripke: "knock-knock". (undergraduate philosopher): "Whose there?" Kripke: "It's Saul". (undergraduate): "Saul who?" Kripke: "It's Saul Kripke, you dumb motherfucker." (just kidding, Saul).
ReplyDeleteThe content of the comic is, frankly, crap and obviously wrong, but still it is nice to get the notice. I do wish it would be in something better, though.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought this might be your calling....remember, the point is to change the world and I dare say, your audience could be huge. What better way to reveal truths but through humor. Are the Castskills still going?

Echoing what Matt said.
ReplyDeleteBtw and somewhat off-topic, does anyone know what's going on w Amazon's book ratings? I seldom buy anything from Amazon, but in looking at the book ratings recently I've noticed there's always one more rating than there are reviews, which makes no sense.
For instance, Eric Nelson's The Theology of Liberalism (which is largely about Rawls, it seems, though the title doesn't immediately convey that) has two reviews on Amazon but is listed as having three customer ratings. To repeat what I said above, this is puzzling. Has anyone else noticed and/or does anyone have an explanation?
