I don't like to go to swap meets because I have an aversion to Hegeling.

I have always considered puns the highest form of humor. It's a personality defect. But, Shakespeare agreed.MWRatCon:
Please kill me now, before I have to endure such cruel and unusual punishment! Good pun, but what pun is truely good? That is not a philosophical question. It's rhetorical and born out of anguish.
Well done, sir.

At first everyone was laughing at you for misspelling Descartes' name. Now they are laughing at you because you use a spellchecker that cannot spell René.Sorry. The automatic spelling correction changed Renes to Renews. It requires constant vigilance.
Isn't anyone laughing because Renes thought not therefore he wasn't? Not as good a joke as I thought, I guess.At first everyone was laughing at you for misspelling Descartes' name. Now they are laughing at you because you use a spellchecker that cannot spell René.
I've heard it said that being unable to spell is a sign of intelligence. The person who told me could not spell right to save his life.Isn't anyone laughing because Renes thought not therefore he wasn't? Not as good a joke as I thought, I guess.
The spellchecker is built in to this device. If I knew the first damned thing about tech I could probably disable it but...
I don't agree. If I could lose the spellchecker I would. Especially since I tend to write in a conversational style and often butt heads with the obnoxious application. In my experience people who have trouble with spelling either learned English later in life or they don't read much.I've heard it said that being unable to spell is a sign of intelligence.

GEORG CANTOR (1845-1918)Let's create or repeat jokes related to philosophy. For fun and entertainment. Don't put too much shade on any theory, NOT.
You and I are not "Philosophical Zombies" but sometimes I am not so sure about you.
I think therefore I drink lots of beer. It is not all about the survival instinct.
I will be a dualist till I die and maybe after.
Free will does not exist. My wife told me to stay home tonight.

I love that huge class of all classes,
The class that none other surpasses.
“But wait! Larger we’ll get
With this set’s power set,”
Said Cantor, the king of wiseasses.

This must be a reference to some Marxian principle but it's lost on me. Sorry, this is not a joke, I really am confused with the seeds in a new light bulb. Would that joke (which I don't get) work with an old light bulb that was still in working order or did the reference to its newness matter, I wonder.How many true Marxists does it take to screw in a new light bulb?
None. Every light bulb contains within itself the seeds of its own revolution!
Cheers and be well.

Yes, I get it now. Oh! My landlord screwed in an old light bulb when my reading lamp blew on me about a month ago. He took it from my bedroom. Well, this is not a joke either. Let's see. Philosophy. Philosophy. ... How many teenage philosophy students does it take to screw in a light bulb (new or used)? The answer is 1 ... but you have to ask him 100 times.Jean-S:
Folks don't usually screw in old light bulbs when replacing dysfunctional ones, but no, the new-ness is not central to the joke. The joke stems from the analysis of capitalism's predicted self-destruction as described in the Communist Manifesto.
Cheers and be well.

The worse piece of autocorrect I had was when I was expecting someone to potentially be in the state for a friends wedding after not seeing them for a number of years. The autocorrect changed the text to her to 'Are you cumming? I managed to see that in time before sending.
