Hey, my topic suggestion made it in! Super psyched to listen on my commute home!

I was hoping that the next comment in this thread would be Paul Krugman replying to himself with “Chicken butt”.

Alas, he fumbled the ball on this one. Try harder next time, Professor.

Ha! Finally I AM someone!

Love the podcast, Mr. White.

(highly recommended, by the way)

Yes. Don’t take the ragebait, people.

*they show

That period had the AV Club before it became … whatever the hell it is now.

10) Until and unless the show a willingness to grapple with the tough questions, we need to strip away their tenure and defund their studies. END

9) This intellectual cowardice is evidence of a rot eating away at academia, and we have to ask: what are these supposed “thinkers” afraid of?

8) I have now been banned from philosophy departments on both coasts, as well as abroad in Europe.

7) I have attempted to engage any number of philosophers on this gedankenexperiment, and to a person, they have demurred while backing away from me.

6) But few people would readily say the same about sex with your younger self. What is it about the inclusion of time travel that changes how we perceive *this* act?

5) Now, here is the philosophical conundrum for you to ponder: is having sex with your younger self gay? I mean, most people, even those who are quite puritanical sexually, would not say that masturbation is gay, although it is sex with yourself.

4) After that, the next step would be to dial in when you were eighteen years old. And after you give yourself a bunch of juicy stock tips, you take turns sexually pleasuring one another. Again, this goes without saying, but I include it here for the sake of thoroughness.

3) Now, obviously the first thing you do is assassinate Hitler. It wouldn’t even be worth mentioning, because what else would you do, except if I left that out, people would be complaining that my premise is fatally flawed, so there you go.
