Everything about this article makes me think


 


A: Philosophers are basically teenage girls


B: Philosophers try really hard to make their lives sound more interesting than they are


C: Philosophy is basically just petty banal squabbling.


These conclusions do not wound me as much as I'd think they would. It's possible this is because the whole thing is COMPLETELY FUCKING HILARIOUS!

    If you consider the pseudo-intellectuals who buzzword-sling on the internet to be actual philosophers, then yeah this is totally true.
