a true gem

Nice one! Really enjoyed that!
LiterallyYourMom
The problem is that without answers, people use open ended questions as if they're proof of their point. "I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS!"
Sh4dowWalker96
is that other guy walking a fish
StrongNuclearHorse
Notice how the answer-collector is mostly asking questions and vice versa. They are giving each other what they want.
frowardd
kids got a weird ass brain
retodd
A question’s value is no greater than the requisite will to answer it. Otherwise, it would be the same as if the question was never asked.

Of all the virtues of humanity, the first is: Curiosity.

I understand nothing
CaptainPuddleboat
I like the story, but the large one had so many shifts of character I lost count.
AstroTibs
What is this tripe? You ask questions TO GET answers. Then find more questions. If you can't or won't, that's your failing.
sockpuppetnightmare
While they debated the worth of questions and answers they never once asked how the devil is able to take a fish for a walk on a leash.
ForeverLostInUserSub
It not a question worth answering, or asking. As the question and answer they are looking for are the small ones in life. Ones that worth it
criticus666
That is deep I was waiting for a whale and a teapot to fall out of the sky at the end.
CosmicQuestioner
A little bit to long but I enjoyed and I choose Questions over answers because the little guy in the comic is right
RabbitsAreMyJam
I like that even though it's pretty clear what side the maker of this comic is on, they don't treat the opposite side as a moron.
Kodaxmax
no no don't you see? answers are less complicated, but just as important. just like the old guy. Without him no new question would have been

Lovely read to start off my morning!

Mine too. :) ♡

Everything is practical. Some things are just theoretically practical.

I read all of it and it was...interesting...but what stuck out the most to me was the misspelling of length
DrownedKittensInABurlapSack
And the “matting” process that isn’t survivable
MyLastNameIsNotSure
Imagine if it's intintionel.
Nathanyel
Tl;dr keep an open mind, keep asking questions. It's not philosophy, it's the scientific method. But:
Nathanyel
One-Eye's elaborateness is just as much that as simply a desire to talk and get heard - talking alone isn't productive.
Nathanyel
He even dismisses Old Guy's objections almost immediately. Only the end shows a glimmer of hope that he actually progresses.
WenzelDashington
The real question is how does an eyeball talk
raly
..but not 'how does a "frogman" talk?' ;)
TheBluthStairCar
But frogs can already make noise. With their mouths. Is eyeball-stalk communicating telepathically?
ElonMusksEvilTwin
I wish I had the answer to your question.
TheBluthStairCar
Eh, we’ll throw it in his box
HeroHadley
Anyone got a TL;DR version?
DarksteelPenguin
That's a keeper!
raly
I think my comment on the post comes close.. maybe. .. it's worth the read though, imo. :)
PepsiFluxX
Nope
meheezen
Dont take everything you are told for granted, question it and draw your own opinion.
disinfectantrum
Good point. You sound like a reasonable person. I recently joined a society recently called "The Flat Earthers". Nice ring to it huh? /2
disinfectantrum
Are you familiar?
meheezen
I've heard about it yes, they usually take offence to anyone who question their motives.
disinfectantrum
I flatly take offence to that
Shinotsa
And at the bottom of that box is the first question: “Why am I a giant eyestalk?”
SatansLeftNipple
Is that Pleakly from Lilo & Stitch?
noparfaitforu
My head is a huge ass eyeball but why can't I see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
Tsamane
Well when a mommy eyestalk and a daddy eyestalk love each other very much
raly
Haha, valid question. ;)
Tomatotomatoandbeyond
Followed by "If i can talk, where's my mouth?"

Walden?
DarksteelPenguin
That's a keeper!
jennym123
Oh my God, Karen, You can't just go asking why someone is a giant eyestalk!

BorkLocutus
How do one manipulate gravity with electricity without resorting to magnetism? Can you magnetise everything, even the emptiness of space?
MegaDeuce
You can't manipulate gravity with anything but mass. Magnetism isn't gravity manipulation.
knowhitall
That is true. Using a different source of force such as magnetism (or air flow or charge attraction or photon impact) isn’t manipulation.
IRateYourChristmasSelfies
Step one: be attractive.
TielKiri
You'll have to define empty space better than most to answer that! Particles are just regions of spacetime with curvature and other-
TielKiri
properties, like charge!
BorkLocutus
That means we should stop clinging to particles and go directly to properties of spacetime to create properties where we see fit, no?
BorkLocutus
At the same way it seems like the high amount of energy necessary for property changes seems to call for a more elegant solution.
BorkLocutus
Like questioning the nature of energy, where we land at quantum mechanics, that bring us closer to the brink of our knowledge.
PardusXY
The part of this, I have seen too often is people with answers they don't know the question to, and yes they fight to the death, but they 1/
PardusXY
are so easily backed into a corner when you ask them about the question, I probably have somewhere close to 100 people who have blocked 2/
PardusXY
me for that reason alone.

"Maybe the lack of one meaning, is what gives everything a chance to have one."..This will stay with me.
thedukeoffrisbee
Existence precedes essence
ABluntForce
It's funny how meaning is so subjective that one who never seeks it never needs it.
Beezlebubble
Why do I need to keep wiping so much after I poop? Should really be in that box
Snowcean
This strip is brillant. I love it so much quoted it at the very end of my phd thesis!
bocksamson
That is possibly one of the best things I've read on this site
AnonOmis1000
This is why I'm a nihilist and an atheist. I find the lack of a greater purpose much more freeing than the presence of one.
wam3483
The existences of God does not necessarily require a greater purpose.
AnonOmis1000
No but frujm what I've see, there is no God. Not the Christian one. I wouldn't want to follow a hypocrite anyway.
wam3483
That's fine if you've decided that, I'm not here to argue the point. Just be accurate in your reasoning.
Chronagos
Existentialism and nihilism are both gay
Chronagos
Jk, anyways I find both of them to be completely useless philosophies. There must be a good and evil, or else everything is acceptable.
LanceSackless
You could murder every living thing on earth and then kill yourself and the universe wouldnt bat an eye one way or another
LanceSackless
Our existence is so short and fleeting and insignificant in the grand scheme of things that anything we do makes just about as much 1/2
LanceSackless
difference as doing nothing at all or never existing. 2/2
Ziferian
The wondeful thing about life is that we are born without value nor purpose because we get to chose both of those ourselves.
raly
That's true. Thanks for that, it struck a chord. :)
Ziferian
No problem
goldenshiningfinger
Seems hard tho. All I wanna do is rape and pillage but that's "frowned upon"
Chronagos
I just wanna kill women but that’s “wrong” and “sexist”
YourWaifuIsTrash
Nihilism, woo!
Ziferian
Positive nihlism woo
kodamakid
You know, I've been asking myself what the hell I'm here existing for and quite simply this is the answer I needed to hear. Thanks friend.
Ziferian
In life I believe our end goal should be to be happy not to take our minds of the end but embrace it and enjoy the journey that is life

Wisowski got deep in his last semester

*lol* so taaallll too. ;)
RELAVANTGIFMAKER
That wink makes me slightly uncomfortable
raly
It's directed at the joke, not like.. sexy times or something, lol.
Anonyfurb
I mean....do I have to pay extra for it to be like...sexy times. Or something? lol
TygrF
You can *always* spot the undergrad who's in the middle of his first Philosophy course.
FoxySpirit
I am not sure what that statement is meant to express?Because it seems like you are laughing at the artist for no good reason.Condescending?
TygrF
Eyestalk is saying all sorts of simplistic tenets like you'd get from "An Intro to..." pre-101 Philosophy at a third-tier tecnical college.
FoxySpirit
Please be more specific.
FoxySpirit
Addon: I understand that the idea that only questions are timeless is wrong but the point of view is well argued imo.
