No, you don’t, and you’re literally just saying the same old lines that miss the point, so I’ll leave it there cos I like you and I don’t want to get into it.

I can accept this! And I am also happy to drop it (which was the intention of dropping it itt in the first place) because I like you as well.

The fundamental question imo is ‘how do we win?’ Everything else flows from there.
What do you want to win, is a more fundamental question.

The thing that critics of activists don’t get is that they tried playing the “polite language” policy game and all it did was make them easier to ignore.It wasn’t until they made folks uncomfortable that there was traction to do ANYTHING even if it wasn’t their full demands.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) December 2, 2020

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

So far most of these examples are tantamount to cool stuff young (mostly anglo) ppl are into that we olds (mutatis mutandis) missed out on. That's a pretty narrow definition of 'blindspot', but *charges headfirst into windmill*.

The concept of that comic strip is eerily similar to a very short and somewhat...lovely?...story by Tobias Wolff https://public.wsu.edu/~bryanfry/Wolff,%20Bullet%20in%20the%20Brain.pdf
― "Bi" Dong A Ban He Try (the table is the table), Wednesday, 16 December 2020 22:48 (three years ago) link
ha, interesting coincidence - the character is a long-time recurring feature in the comedy magazine Viz*, but that one strip is so similar to the short story that one could totally imagine Wolff reading it and deciding to riff it on a type of pedant (or specific critic) that he personally loathed.
* based on the brother of founder/publisher and cartoonists Chris Donald and Simon Donald, diagnosed as aspie decades later, but compared to Mr Spock when they were growing up
― huge rant (sic), Wednesday, 16 December 2020 23:08 (three years ago) link
Absolutely!
I'm not a big fan of Wolff's writing, generally speaking, but I've taught that story a few times, and I've grown quite fond of it. Students love it, too.
