Hi boys and girls.
My name is Kyle Amman
and I would like to offer you my own personal senior gift.
As we all know sometimes seminar books can be a *** to read.
And so I was thinking that
for emergencies it might be nice to have some CliffsNotes on hand
so you can go to seminar and
impress your tutors, impress your friends with some hard earned insights
by someone else entirely.
So the Meno... are we on?
Yeah.
So the Meno starts out
with, uh, this dude named Meno
asking Socrates, "Hey Socrates!"
"Uh, can virture be taught?"
"Or is it this other thing that"
"I don't know, ***, can't be taught?"
And so Socrates goes,
"Hey Meno!"
"[Insert ironic praise here]"
"You're a dipshit!"
"because the real question is 'What is Virtue?'"
"so lets talk about that for a while."
So then Meno just suceeds in
progressively *** up the definition of virtue
more and more as he tries to name all these things
that look like virtue but are probably not
until finally he says,
"*** it, Socrates. Why don't you tell me what virtue is?"
And Socrates goes,
"No."
And then basically the story ends.
Okay, now we're going to do Physics.
Or maybe Metaphysics.
I'm not actually sure which one
So whichever one other people
sounds familiar to
use this. So
Physics and/or Metaphysics
Aristotle is like
everything has a soul and that soul has a tendency.
And so like the soul of rock
is conveniently to fall to, ya know, the *** ground.
Phedre, which is
the French version of the Greek story of Hippolytus,
only it actually has the sense to focus on
the interesting character in the story
is about a woman who wants to bone her step-son.
So she's like, "Hey Hippolytus!"
"I wanna jump up on dat!"
And Hippolytus is like,
"I don't..."
"know!"
I don't even remember how it begins, it's like
something about,
"When that Aprilis, with his showers swoot, sweet"
"The drought of March hath pierced to the root,"
"I went to ***"
Anyway, Thomas of Canterbury
They're all visiting Thomas of Canterbury
which is why it's called 'The Canterbury Tales'.
I'm a personal fan of Leibniz
because Leibniz knew how math worked
unlike Kant... who didn't.
And so Leibniz proved
math... well not mathematically,
but qualitatively, intuitively,
that the world we live in is the best of all possible worlds
because it has to be
because, if God really created the universe,
he'd know what the *** he was doing
and every set back would really just be
the 'step back'
You could create a rap out of this is you were really smart.
The best of all possible worlds is
A world that is run like Leibniz's is
And that is one where every set back
Is actually just a step back before a run
where you leap over an abyss
to see
where Truth and Justice is.
Because!
Every true mechanic
knows that goodness
is just
something that rhymes with mechanic!
You know I'm not Eminem, right?
Absolut like is like the hipster ***
but Smirnoff is always there
to be like,
"We're what *** is really like."
