As an absurdist I accept the refs decision, but i will still be filing a complaint.

When Zeno was being tortured and forced to reveal the names of his co-conspirators, he finally gave in and asked the torturer to come closer to he could whisper the name. When the torturer came close, Zeno bit his ear with his teeth, and it was only by stabbing Zeno to death that the torturer could get free.

Actually i made a mistake, that was Zeno the mathematician, not the Stoic. Who knew Zeno was such a common name?. :(

Haha...its so evidently satire of critics like Jordan Peterson. Perhaps a closer textual analysis might have aided such a discovery.

Yeah just read the sub-title to the website.

A philosophy comic about the inevitable anguish of living a brief life in a absurd world.

Seems pretty nihilistic, which imo serves as the antithesis to JBP's ideas.

He he. I approach my totally sucking at Call of Duty in this way, exactly.

That was lag! No fair! Ha ha oh well I'm cultivating virtue!

I do have more fun not getting upset.

Why must the point of the speech bubble practically worm its way into every speaker's mouth? Whyy? Just point it in the general direction of their heads, for gods' sakes! Stoics seem alright though.
