Philosophy for Dummies (or should I say, for Dummies)

Warning: This page contains excessive use of sarcasm and existential dread.

What is Philosophy?

Philosophy is like trying to explain to your roommate why you left your dirty socks on the floor.

It's like trying to find meaning in a meaningless world, but mostly it's just about being pretentious and confusing.

Or, as I like to say, it's like trying to find the meaning of life, but mostly it's just about finding the meaning of your life, which is to eat Cheetos and watch Netflix.

But, in all seriousness, philosophy is like trying to find the answer to the ultimate question, which is, "What is the point of it all?"

And the answer is, "Uh, I don't know, man. Maybe just go get a sandwich."

What's the point of it all?

Or, as the great philosophers would say, "It's complicated."

Or, as I would say, "It's just a bunch of words on a piece of paper, dude."

Or, as my cat would say, "Meow."
