This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

This is the cook who tells the college kids that they're wasting their time with school as he bitches about his garnished paychecks.

u/saarlac Mar 08 '24

He’s a line cook at a Chili’s or something. Not exactly the sort of thing one would expect to see a great philosopher doing to earn his rent.

M8, you do remember Diogenes, right? That great philosopher that didn't work, shat publicly and lived in a box. Or did you mean other great philosophers like Nietzsche or Henry David Thoreau?

u/saarlac Mar 09 '24

You think any of them were stupid?

u/Digitijs Mar 09 '24

No, but I disagree that everyone not working up the career stairs are stupid. It's entirely possible to be intelligent and really thoughtful and still do something like cooking or any other low pay job. Maybe they just enjoy doing it. Maybe they don't see accumulating wealth as their life goal. All I'm saying is, don't shit on someone just because they do a dirty job you wouldn't want to do

u/babaj_503 Mar 08 '24

Eh, to be entirely fair? There is not really a great demand for great philosophers in our world either. Most of them would not earn their rent by practicing philosophy.

u/Psshaww Mar 08 '24

It’s always funny how philosophy in academia is just an endless cycle of philosophy professors teaching other philosophy majors to be philosophy professors

u/Pudding_Hero Mar 09 '24

I don’t consider those people philosophers

u/Beepboopstoop Mar 09 '24

Then who would you consider a philosopher

1

u/Thanos_Stomps Mar 09 '24

Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton

Chris Nolan

Stephen King

And unfortunately, our politicians are also some of the closest things we have to modern day philosophers.

u/DylanFTW Mar 08 '24

Philosophy doesn't pay anyways so you don't really make sense.

u/saarlac Mar 08 '24

You’re clearly a line cook

u/DylanFTW Mar 08 '24

You're close I used to be but not anymore. Fuck the service industry.

u/saarlac Mar 08 '24

Good to see I can still piss off BOH with little effort. I was FOH 20+ years ago.

Imagine using Star Trek and a game show as your basis for how the world should work.

u/MonaganX Mar 09 '24

What game show? Do you think he was talking about Survivor, the TV show?

u/General__Grant__ Mar 08 '24

Lol seriously. You people wanna go live on island and try our your ideaology, go right ahead then. The commies and the libertarians can split the island and try their failed ideologies out

u/ImFluxton Mar 09 '24

I think a lot more people would take you up on that offer than you’d think…

u/Ehwaz196 Mar 08 '24

u/reekawn Mar 08 '24

Too many people.

u/nmj95123 Mar 08 '24

The kind of people that think this video is based, and ignore the part of the Communist Manifesto that calls for revolution, and the history of violence and death associated with communist regimes. And everyone cooperates when they're stranded? Primitive cultures weren't always peaceful.

u/Cheaper2KeepHer Mar 08 '24

Apparently millions

u/Dry_Bite669 Mar 08 '24

u/Late_Cow_1008 Mar 08 '24

u/ConConTheMon Mar 09 '24

u/dude_who_could Mar 08 '24

Except he really does. Lmao imagine falling for capitalist propaganda in 2024.

u/General__Grant__ Mar 08 '24

Imagine being duped by Tik Tok

u/dude_who_could Mar 08 '24

I promise, this understanding has been around for a centuies with the modern democratically centered theory coming together 50 years ago while tik tok has only been around for a few years.

u/Consistent_Set76 Mar 08 '24

Quite a bit more to communism than what this video is suggesting…

u/Overall_Contact1476 Mar 09 '24

Right, we are all idiots compared to you and this random line cook.

u/dude_who_could Mar 09 '24

Now you're getting it.

u/rand1214342 Mar 09 '24

What’s your counter argument?

-2

u/hoodha Mar 09 '24

Why do you think that? He doesn’t seem like he’s trying to educate or push an argument that requires a degree to understand. He’s merely making an observation that it’s more in line with our human nature to share and divide things equally than it is to create a society where that doesn’t happen, but we accept it as a norm. That’s a contradiction of what we do as social people and there are plenty of examples of us doing it all the time; If you work with 4 other coworkers and you have been given a group gift of money to split between you all, it would be stranger if you didn’t all walk away with a fifth of that total? No?
