From Plato to Carlin

The two most popular philosophies

Looking back on one and a half year of publishing my Philosophy comics here, it’s interesting to see that two postings stand out in terms of visits, likes and engagement:

It is gratifying to see that this ancient version of The Matrix still speaks to people!

Detail of my notes in the top:

This is text that would have been spoken by Yiri (but was left out of the comic):

The core of Carlins work is exposing all possible kinds of BULLSHIT - religious, cultural, political - and that’s exactly what speaks to me motivated me in what I do: to not blindly accept - especially not from people with power - , to always investigate what’s behind something, whether you’re not being screwed

…but always with humor, mind!

Without humor you’d just be a paranoid pessimist
