Funny Philosophy Puns

At the end of the video, he rants about arguing with people at community college.

I have a friend who’s a philosophy grad student and over lunch today I told her I’d send her the video but I can NOT remember the title of it on YouTube. Can someone help me find it?

I guess tho his editing isn't quite the same as Contrapoints and Hbomber guy, and that was what I was really referring to when I made disparaging comments about his funny rating.

... I have a sleep disorder and consequently desire sensory overload when I assimilate data and the border line subliminal visual/audio gags that Hbomber guy and Contrapoints layer into their work is very specific to my neurological achilles heel.

I'm in yr11 currently and we've been doing Islam since September. Last week we were studying 'Holy War' and one of the quotes, to put it simply, stated- kill the pagans wherever you see them but if they repent and pray to Allah, guide them. My teacher who happens to be a Muslim explains each quote after we give our interpretations yet for this all she said was- this is quite controversial and where people misinterpret the Qur'an Then proceeds to not explain it at all. Kinda made me think she panicked to quickly skip over it because how else can you interpret "slay the pagans wherever you see them" other than to mean slay the pagans wherever you see them?

Basically what the title says! She's been struggling a lot with the pandemic and has been pretty sad lately; while bringing her homemade meals (she hates cooking), etc., has helped, I'm at a complete loss when it comes to what media to give her. I did lend her and my dad "This is Spinal Tap," which they both enjoyed, and I gave her access to my Netflix account, which she also seems to be enjoying. She really likes Janet Evanovich; I gave her a Tana French book last year, which she also seemed to like.

I'm pretty broke right now but am also pretty creative. I'm thinking that maybe a "surprise stocking" or "care package" would be the way to go? She still uses a coffee mug that I gave her for Valentine's day 5+ years ago, so sentimental stuff is a good fit. She's an avid hiker, so I'm thinking about a pair of nice wool socks for winter. She also has a sweet tooth and loves food, but.. I bring her random sweets and homemade meals all the time, so that wouldn't be anything new. I just want to help cheer her up a bit!

Not sure if y'all are into personality test stuff, but she's an Enneagram 9w1, I'm a 4w5, and my dad is an 8w7. So, basically, she's a passive, giving person who tends to put others before herself, I'm an emotional train-wreck with a lot of compassion and good intentions, and my dad's a great provider and protecter who's stuck in his ways and has zero tact. I'd like to just spoil her for a change, but that seems to make her feel weird. She loves hanging out with me and my senior dog (quarantine's been rough, and she needs breaks from my dad); I've thought about planning a picnic in the woods for us, as I think that she'd enjoy it, but it's getting colder (we did live in MN for years and are now in the SE).

I’m looking for a podcast about philosophy for someone who is new to philosophy as I am.

The basic plot is that Eleanor is a selfish asshole her whole life. When she dies, she finds herself in the Good Place because of an errors. The Good Place and The Bad Place are based on a point system of what you did on Earth. The Bad Place is eternal torture with things like Grandma's Got Run Over By A Reindeer playing on a loop. Can you learn how to be a good person? How does a change of heart work on a point system like this? Why isn't there a Mediocre Place? What about motivation? If you try to earn points for the Good Place, does it count against you because it's for selfish reasons?

I think there's a lot of discussion to be had about religion from this. How do good deeds vs a good heart vs willing to learn affect salvation? Who really deserves the Bad Place (according to them, people who microwave fish in the office kitchen or take their shoes and socks off on airplanes lol). What about religions that preach that few people are worthy enough?

So far everything covered here has been pretty spoiler-free, with some info from the first season. They're on the third season so it's probably okay but just in case someone wants to watch it label spoilers for those uninitiated.

This evening I was pleased to be invited to a parent's friend's house for a lovely Christmas dinner. When it was time to eat, we all took our seats around the table. I was delighted to notice to my left and to my right a folded paper napkin, and while no one else at the table was aware of the significance of the action I brazenly took the napkin to my right.

The result of my taking the first napkin was underwhelming. Across the table, a grandma who had not noticed my action took the napkin to her left. A few seats to my left was a place at the table that was set but had no one sitting at it. And a few seats to my right was a guy who ended up not picking up a napkin at all. Thus, as my twisting the arm of fate propagated like falling dominoes to my right, when it reached the point where the guy should have picked up his right napkin and did not the impetus of the action ceased. To the grandma's right, two people took their left napkins but then it got to the empty place, which was skipped, and at least one person to my left now had free will to choose whichever napkin they pleased. Because of the guy who didn't take a napkin, there was no clash where the left-takers of the grandma's side and the right-takers of my side met like the waters of two seas colliding, which should have resulted in one person not getting a napkin and having to take it from the empty place.

In short, I took the first napkin, and anarchy ensued as people completely disregarded the firm law that had been implicitly established.

My question is then, what would Funny Valentine make of this napkin conundrum? In his extended metaphor in which the taking of the napkin correlates to the establishment of societal norms and social contracts, how can one account for the random variables of the ignorant, apathetic, or absent? For people like the grandma who do not realize the structure of society around them and act on their own against the flow of reason, for people like the guy who consider themselves sufficient without the aid of society and who will turn aside the pressure of conformity, or for people like the absentee who remove themselves from the situation in which social norms dictate proper behavior? How would Funny Valentine reconcile with these mavericks?

EDIT: Wow, Reddit Gold for an afterdinner crack post? Merry Christmas to me indeed! At least some people out there appreciate the significance of the first napkin.
