i think the secret to asking Smart Person questions is to take a dumb question and keep making it dumber until you can’t anymore
Interesting theory. Do you have an example?
Okay but if it doesn’t work you cant make fun of me
Step one: Get stupid
Which foot does my left shoe go on?
Which shoe is the left shoe?
Which side is left?
What is “Left”?
Does “Left” exist?
Step two: Double down (Concepts get too simple for normal words so longer words are needed)
Who decides whether something is on the left or on the right?
If I say something is on my left and six people facing me say it’s actually on the right, is it left or right?
Can the objective value of two subjective realities outweigh one?
Can one subjective experience with no objective value become more reliable than another if it gains prominence?
Does believing in a subjective truth make it real?
If a single subjective reality becomes accepted among the majority, should I align my perspective to that reality to facilitate the mechanics of the universally subjective experience?
Step three: Apply it to real life
If we agree as a society to adhere to a system of universal subjectivity in pursuit of productivity, prioritizing function over experience, are we admitting that we value efficiency of labour over comprehension?
Step four: (Optional)
Put left shoe on right foot as a public demonstration against capitalist greed
I’m sorry sir but no a “shrimp” did not in fact fry this rice. you’re lumping crustaceans together in a very unhelpful and bigoted manner. our chef is a giant freshwater crayfish.
Hey guys, with so much love, and as someone with an actual English degree:
Please just use Sparknotes if you’re going to do this. I get it. I do. But chatgpt or other genAI shit doesn’t actually know what’s important for you to know, and in some cases it might fully make shit up. Use sparknotes. Failing that, talk to someone who did read it. I’m begging.
