Bachelor Philosophers
Some people just shouldn't live together... like philosophers!
delicious
diggYou don't even have to know the philosophers ....
Ok - even if a person doesn't know who all these philosophers are - it's hilarious to listen to a group of them talking about something as common as taking the garbage out 
.
It's that whole conception that this class of people only ever discusses huge topics like "the meaning of life and existence" and that their intellects are "so big" that it's beyond the common person's understanding... hardly anyone ever stops to think that they're just people. It's a hoot.
In fact, if they showed this video to grade school kids - it might just make them curious enough to read about these philosophers early on... then of course they find out that the video is even funnier than the first time they watched it.
Bachelor Philosophers
I'm with Lao Tzu--I think it's hilarious.
Though I do feel sorry for poor Kant. I don't think he's ever going to remember. I don't think he has a concept of the lid-an-sich, though given Nietsche's personality it might be in his rational interest to do so.
I should really take him home with me. My philosophy of house work is based first on always remembering the second law of thermodynamics. And second keeping in mind that the attempt to remove dirt is really setting up a false binary opposition between inner and outer (NO LIDS!), and more globally, between the natural and the man-made (tangentially--a distinction which has never made sense to me).
"Bachelor Philosophers"--I wonder if that's redundant...it does remind me of my favourite quotation about Thomas Carlyle. William Morris was asked who were the most influential Victorian philosophers, and he said "Oh Ruskin and Carlyle, but somebody should have been beside Carlyle and punched his head every five minutes."
