Philosofox makes Humean S'mores

FayV

"If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number? No. Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence? No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion."

~David Hume

This is something I ended up drawing during my office hours to tease my Metaphysics professor.

That quote is from the philosopher Hume, who pretty much is saying "fuck you" to metaphysics.

Meinong is a metaphysics philosopher that writes about how ideas can exist, but they don't really exist, they subsist, and there's this quasi-existence and...yeah. It's confusing, and boring, and it makes a grad class arguing for 2 hours about semantics.

So...commit that bastard to the flames and make delicious s'mores

I actually have a lot of respect for metaphysics philosophers. They're quite intelligent and it's not something I could really do, but I'll still joke about it.
