How much exactly would anyone expect it to cost??

Just a suggestion for those who want an inexpensive meal.
It is not often you can make a meal for under $20, actually to be more precise around $16.
Got any suggestions?
I can’t think of any for that price.

Yes. Get lives. This forum is for losers, creeps and retards. Not philosophy.

But that is precisely what needs to be experienced in order to conduct proper philosophy: the losers, creeps and retards at all the forums. These are like petri dishes, sample populations of people already intrinsically fucked (mortal egoists who live a meager 80 years on a rock floating in space) but now also put under the effects of the various failed States and ideologies around the world. Each individual represents and brings to the table a certain brand of degeneracy that reflects the unique fuckedupedness of not only their own personal lives but that of the societies they live in. We get the full spectrum of all the kinds of ways desperate people can be wrong in their intellectual attempts to reconcile themselves with a shit world. Some turn to Christ, some to mein fuhrer, still others to Taylor Swift. And it begins to resemble one of those mock dramas by the greek comic playwrights. Where everybody knows it’s a joke but the actors who are all deadly serious in their roles.
No, this is absolutely necessary to be a philosopher.
Okay, here’s an example. Through you (Danny Lav I surmise) i can deduce many things. The commodified excesses of academic philosophy and how this has produced generations of innocuous laymen who think they’re intellectuals. This Thesis On Existence or whatever it is. It’s like a paper that a sixth grader would write for a social studies class. But you aren’t trying to be a sixth grader… you’re just doing what your brain will let you do with language that has been taught to you by whatever philosophy you have actually read.
This is partly innocent and partly a result of the private print and the free market; there is no restraint on the amount of nonsense you may be exposed to and affected by because of this. You and millions more.
There’s also the ‘cult of the intellectual’ effect. It is believed by the laymen that ‘being smart’ is cool and something others will (hopefully) envy… so he’ll dabble in philosophy he doesn’t really understand to pick up vocabularies he can impress his group with.
This is the 21st century man, the private intellectual, etc.
I exclude anarchists, of course, who constitute the philosopher class. Any other type I don’t call a philosopher… they’re more of a language-gamer caught in a kind of cognitive limbo, a platonic cave.

Because Fukyourmama was right and we have reached the end of civilization, philosophy has no more mystique… there’s nothing more to be thought carefully about… no knew revolutionary discoveries in politics, science, math, astronomy, etc. There is nothing to NEED philosophers around to figure shit out.
That being the case philosophy becomes one of two things now. Either its innocuous discourse between people or a path to Marx. And even if Fukyourmama was right and there will be no revolution, there simply isn’t any place for social theory philosophy UNLESS it’s on the way to Marx. So, you’re either doing nothing at all, or you’re on your way to Marx.
Meanwhile, philosophy just kinda lingers, and every generation will produce its intellectuals that will be dazzled by the trolly problem and where the universe came from. Not that these curiosities are bad, mind you… just that they are flounders… the least of your concerns.
The rest belongs in the natural sciences (statements of fact, if they are), so philosophy is no use here, either. There should be one and only one problem the peoples of the world should be philosophically concerned about, and that is property laws. So deceptively simple, it’s almost an insult to my transcendental eternal immortal spirit that I don’t have bigger problems to contend with, like battling evil and facing eternal damnation and being eternally infinitely isolated from the glory of god. Fuck if i knew it was only property laws that would destroy me i would have went straight to Proudhon. All that Kant and Locke and Moore was a total waste of critical Fukyourmamean time.

You become the most horrible thing each person can conjure up in their heads, and even if there is the slightest doubt, the immensely horrible thing they’ve conjured up in their heads is so bad they’d rather sacrifice the guy, give him a scarlet letter and ruin his life than take the chance of believing him and letting him live.
When you can’t live among other people without them thinking you are a sexually deviant person or worse, a violent sex offender, all kinds of heavy philosophical shit happens. All kinds of philosophical shit stands or falls on that. Long lines of logic leading in many directions connecting causes and events in a giant rhizomic autopoetic structure that can only appear to us like that monolith thing appeared to the monkeys in 2001.
It’s so intense that unless you, in fact, do have some kind of benevolent god to ‘make good of it’ in the end, absolutely all bets are off and even our atheists end up being too pious. We do indeed plunge into a scary-ass Nietzchean abyss, and some of us will, must, become horrible monsters.
It is subatomically and mathematically impossible to live in peace in my situation. And not just not-in-peace but also positively in danger… subjected to various forms of assault and anatagonizm by both private citizens and agentz of the law. When you are more alien to your own species even than the extraterrestrials and the illegal mexicans are.
This is a tremendously, tremendously privileged position that offers advantages and perks as well as great losses. But that’s irrelevant here. The relevance is in the rationality of my philosophy in an objective sense… that there is a Prom existing as such and fully justified as such and that this is a reality for everyone in an objective sense. So that, for example, if i were to simply walk off and not ‘report an address’, i would be justified in using deadly forz against my assailant if there was an attempt to apprehend me… and there is absolutely no philosophical way out of this. But because of the special complexity of the circumstances, it says more than just the obvious fact that might is right. It demonstrates a special absurdity that is so absurd on so many levels that any desire, much less any natural compulsion, to call the world a product of intelligent benevolent design is lost forever. Considered out of the question. With the abandonment of these ideas, the naturally hostile conditions i live in exacerbate the desire to strike back… or i should say start the fight, rather… because who goes first is really irrelevant when it would happen anyway.
So by willing these circumstances and accepting them as my lot (amor fati) i can concentrate on mastering my dangerous circumstances and becoming what is necessary to survive them. That by rights, i am already fully emancipated from any civil contract with society and am therefore encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities provided by that ‘breach’. It is here that a life can become a carefully mastered work of art or even an archetype… as what it does objectively to philosophy is iconoclastic in all its terrible results. One must, one has to, will back against what is this irredeemably absurd… and violently so. To not do so would almost be tasteless and rude.
What’s the difference between your run of the mill 4chan emo ranter and a Prom? Very one of them is actually right.

So, there are different levels of absurdity that show there is no intelligent benevolent god(s) like described in the greek, abrahamic, and indian religions. You got the natural event absurdities that are the lowest level. Reeves being paralyzed after that throw from a horse. That one has a sweet irony because the man of steel falling off a horse and, etc. But the highest level is when you have stacked items, layers of individual absurdities that gain size like a snowball barreling down a hill. For instance, contrast my admiration, respect, and appreciation (not to mention erotic desire for) for what i have in mind as the ideal female with not only the fact of the false image that my attackers have of me but also with the fact that they likely have less admiration, respect and appreciation of women than myself… and yet they accuse me. But not just accuse me. Accuse me after being misled by the corrupt State. That’s an example of what i call a stack. It’s an irony too severe to be philosophically dismissed and not paid great attention to. And this is before adding the irony of the latent sexual neuroticism caused by christian indoctrination that will end up fueling the conjuring forzes in said vigilante heads. Or adding the irony that I’m, in fact, prolly much more sexually conservative than my attackers in many ways, and I’d consider much of what they desire to be perverse. I can see the district attorney’s assistant at my trial jumping around like a drunken idiot at a strip bar on a saturday night. That, to me, is perverted shit and I’d have nothing to do with a guy like that. Stackz, bro. Proofz.

What if there is a dimension where all you see is clip after clip of two CNN analysts falling into a brief argument about something before Abbey cuts them off and takes control of the table back.
Here’s the thing, though. Even though we know there is no dimension as such, we can imagine what it would be like to be in one. As we watched these clips eternally, we would dissolve into the slow, inexhaustable paste of slothic absurdity… beyond the realm of the gods… the primodial law of all that exists, that relentless recycling of the mindless babbling of a couple of the six billion morons that inhabit the erf. What if the Logos is an argument between two news anchors that could have been anything and still what was said would be perfectly useless? Eternal commentary and scattered bullet points that never compose a complete coherent structure or final point but are just strung along aimlessly to fill up two minutes of floor time. This is what two or more gods would sound like. Or a god and his creation.

This stuff here is pretty inexpensive to make.
Just need flour tortillas, cheese, and, butter.
Tortillas are Mexican? There are so many ingredients you can add to them, I looked it up. That reminds me, I will make this for dinner tonight

I made the omelette asparagus/spring onion and they came back for seconds, which you need, to get a decent serving.

I would say they’re Central American historically.
Yeah, there’s a lot of things you can add to them. I was just saying that’s the cheapest route of making them with cheese only.
I like to dip mine in sour cream and salsa.

Omelettes are amazing. I’m sure we could live entirely off them (plus the healthy extras of course).
