this picture will never not be funny

just the absurdity of donald duck putting out that statement (which even makes some sense and fits donald’s overall depressed mood) and mickey mouse being the sly one and contradicting donald, coming out with the upper hand from the argument, is just so amusing.

This sounds like the kind of stupidass discourse you get when Jordan Peterson sits with Ben Shapiro with Joe Rogan trying sniff both their butts.

Seriously. Why are chemicals absurd? Answer: They are not absurd. They are arranged and tuned to your relations with your surroundings. They are sensory organs. Ignoring your senses is a choice I guess, especially when they are badly calibrated or misinformed by fake inputs (social media, rage bait, w/e)

Yeah - reducing things to material components isn't absurd and doesn't destroy subjective meaning.

Like, I don't believe in free will, but that doesn't mean I don't find life meaningful - it's just a fact about how the world works. I still perceive choice, I perceive meaning - it's a subjective and phenomenological matter, not an objective/material one.

I think it is also about the terms of the debate and definitions of self. For me the absurdity is to propose invisible essences that transcend physical reality. My body is my self and I kind of own or rent the material that makes me work. The processes are physical as well, but they are mine too. I freely make decisions all the time, all by myself. There is no other self worth talking about.

Why are my only options fight or perish? Why can’t I just vibe?

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

yeah actually that's the only critique that i have about mouse's comment. mouse is a machine, knows only productive output but no relax and chill.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

When he says "fight or perish", maybe he means fight for your right to party. Dog of course refers to I Wanna Be Your Dog by the Stooges. The ego perishes under the weight of uncontrollable love.

Always hated this meme because Mickey's dialogue is set up to give the confident and condescending "vibe" of correctness but actually makes no sense if you stop and think about it. "Trusting the chemicals in your brain to tell you they are chemicals " when declaring emotions to have material basis isnt hypocrisy, it's self consistency, essentially the reverse of hypocrisy. And if the universe is just a material thing with no basis for intrinsic value, what even is there to "fight" about that? You cannot exactly punch the nature of reality into submission, or change the behavior of the universe through sheer force of will. And if you could, there isn't even a reason given for why you would even want to do so, it's just implied that human values and emotions being a result of material reality is undesirable because what? "chemicals bad" I guess?

no, the joke is that you don't actually know that the chemicals inside your brain are actually chemicals. for all we know, we could all be living in a big computer simulation, and your feelings are actually caused by bits and bytes on a computer. so, we only think that we're driving on a brain powered by chemicals because of the things that we can observe from within the simulation, in other words, the simulation makes us believe that we're only feeling love because of silly chemicals doing things. meanwhile our feelings could be much more universal and come from the simulation itself (which could itself be universal), while the chemicals are only a pretense to make the simulation more believable.
