there's absolutely nothing of value to be derived from someones deranged ramblings about the human condition or anything tangential to it

von neumann is simply a god. he would be building a cpu while the aforementioned philosphers dick around, projecting their useless thoughts into the abyss

strong sig btw. the guy he's referring to was played by a serbian actor, lmao. on a side note, that character (lalo) was scary as fuck

Im sure it took talent to paint the mona Lisa, just like it takes talent to form a cult of personality. But a hobo shitting on the sidewalk and a banana taped to a wall are still within the realms of philosophy/art, respectively... I guess you could call it high brow entertainment? But lol @ thinking Plato's shitty ramblings have shaped society in any way shape or form.. von neumann gave us the computer,  neitzhse?? (Cant spell his name) gave us edgy redditots and true detective season 1

Also didn't know that about bcs. What a great show
