Philosophy 101: Frequently Asked Questions (Frequently Not Answered)

Q: Is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything really 42?

No, it's not. That's just a placeholder for when you're too lazy to think about it. The answer is actually in the fridge.

Q: What's the difference between a philosopher and a scientist?

Philosophers are like scientists, but with more beards and worse haircuts. They just like to ask more questions, like "What's the point of asking questions?" and "Is the glass half-empty or half-full?"

Q: Is there a cure for existential dread?

No, but there's a lot of existential dread-adjacent merchandise available for sale in the gift shop. Shop now!

Or, just stare into the abyss for 4-6 hours. That usually helps.
