The Monologue, because I liked it so damn much.

“The thing about repairing, maintaining, and cleaning is: it’s not an adventure. There’s no way to do it so wrong you might die.”

#this episode angered a lot of people #like they took it personal because this whole time they related to rick and thought the series was justifying their worldview #but this monologue ripped them all to shreds

going through my microsoft word archives is great fun because i always find the wildest shit in there and by “the wildest shit” i mean the time i tried to rewrite the entire bible from scratch at the age of eleven and a half

“And so Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden, and Eve turned to Adam and said, ‘Nice going, loser.‘”

whilst you were listening to avril lavigne, i learned the way of the Lord

I probably would have been more interested in the bible if it read like this

“The Republic is trolling” is literally canon. Socrates describes his ideal city in Book II, it takes like three pages (368e-372c). Then Glaucon interrupts to complain that life in that city would lack fancy luxuries. Socrates: “the true city, in my opinion, is the one we’ve described, the healthy one, as it were. But let’s study a city with a fever, if that’s what you want”. (372e) All the famous bits follow. Philosophers suck even harder at reading than at writing so no one remembers this.

Yep. The obvious reading and not one which was touched upon at all in the class I took on it at [university with serious business classics department]

I think this is a product of the same kind of selective cultural amnesia which the article about Captain Kirk I reblogged yesterday dissects. Like – we inherit our way of reading these works from the Enlightenment, whose leading lights dragged the greek classics out and put them on the pedestal where they currently reside, and they had a certain vested interest in the philosopher king idea, so a Grand Missing of the Point ensued and remains with us to this day
