John Stuart Mill, courtesy Wikipedia |
Bwog knows finals for Contemporary Civilization are approaching when she hears students asking each other in the hallway, “Do you know anything about Nee-chay?”
So, to all sophomores about to engage with the harm principle, categorical imperatives, and the social contract: exercise your will to power. The birds of prey among you will soon be separated from the lambs.
And, if you feel badly afterward about how you did on the test, just be thankful—at least you don’t look like John Stuart Mill.

@now that I know what John Stuart Mill’s face looks like, the whole ‘intellectual pleasures are better than sex’ thing makes a whole lot more sense.
@hmmm Thoreau didn’t look like much of a ladykiller either… I wonder what St. Augustine looked like.
@Thoreau “Chastity is the flowering of man” and such
@rofl js mill looks like larry from the three stooges nyuck nyuck nyuck
@wtf!!!! oh shit we had a test today!!????
@Ugh I thought this type of bwog comment humor died a long time ago. I guess sophomores have a lot more to learn than just the categorical imperative.
@eee I don’t know about that. I thought it was one of the funniest I’ve read in a while
@Schlachthof IME “Nee-chee” is more common.
@kant... …Clem H. be mine?
@Categorical Imperative says that one should never swear… I guess you’re not a rational agent!
@I'm fairly certain That I look worse than Stuart Mill.
Thank you Bwog. Thank you for the tears; who needs self-esteem during finals?
@Please WHAT THE FUCK IS THE CATEGORICAL IMPERATIVE????
@Give up now You weren’t paying attention. No amount of cramming can save you now.
@oh my did you read kant?
