Existential Comics

Hobbes more or less thought we all give up our freedom to live under the absolute authority of the State because without it we would all be in a constant state of war and violence against each other over resources. So essentially people can't be trusted to dole out the birthday cake evenly themselves with a cop watching, or we'd all be at each other's throats. He lived in a pretty violent time where the English monarchs were constantly starting wars with each other over every little reason, so he had some reason to think this, but his view on human's natural social cooperation was pretty dim.

Do I want to eat an entire cake by myself? No. Will I do it to spite Rousseau? Abosolutely.

Thanks to everyone for reading the comic for 10 years, and especially to the Patreon supporters because without their support I probably would have quit a while ago. In fact, I always wanted to save the terrible Kant/Can't pun for the very last comic, and today probably would have been a good day to quit, but those dastardly patreon supports just insist on keeping philosophy comedy alive.

Mostly though what I'd say I've accomplished was nothing, but I guess that just how things go when you are an existentialist.

Generally speaking philosophy is actually a super good for picking up women if what you want to do with them is dicuss philosophy.

Seriously though more people need to be trying to rob billions of dollars at once in daring heists. Rob the bank. Rob the Fed. Rob the US Treasury. Come on, live a little.

Come to think of it Kierkegaard should narrate most things, it would really spice things up.
