lightly flavored soda water has been around for ages, why do people think it suddenly showed up with la croix

Who's arguing this? La Croix is just the most popular brand, since it's trendy

La Croix is named after a river in Wisconsin and it's Faygo without the sugar. The CEO of the company that owns the brand makes amazing press releases.

the big bang theory and philosophy

Sheng-Ji Yang
Mar 5, 2014


Ever wonder what Aristotle might say about the life Sheldon Cooper leads? Why Thomas Hobbes would applaud the roommate agreement? Who Immanuel Kant would treat with "haughty derision" for weaving "un-unravelable webs?" And—most importantly—whether Wil Wheaton is truly evil? Of course you have. Bazinga!

This book mines the deep thinking of some of history's most potent philosophical minds to explore your most pressing questions about The Big Bang Theory and its nerdy genius characters. You might find other philosophy books on science and cosmology, but only this one refers to Darth Vader Force-chokes, cloning Leonard Nimoy, and oompa-loompa-like engineers. Fo-shizzle.

Gives you irresistibly geek-worthy insights on your favorite Big Bang Theory characters, story lines, and ideas
Examines important themes involving ethics and virtue, science, semiotics, religion, and the human condition
Brings the thinking of some of the world's greatest philosophers to bear on The Big Bang Theory, from Aristotle and Plato to Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Simone de Beauvoir, and more

Essential reading for every Big Bang Theory fan, this book explores whether comic-book-wielding geeks can lead the good life, and whether they can know enough science to "tear the mask off nature and stare at the face of God."

i literally wrote a "star wars and philosophy" paper for my high school philosophy class because I had zero other ideas and all it was was me pointing out that the star wars society was just plato's ideal republic and it still sucked

that book is probably roughly the same quality

Eh those books usually aren't so bad. It's less "here's the real secret philosophical meaning behind this pop culture thing" and more teaching basic philosophy ideas by relating them to something people are familiar with.

I'd absolutely read The Simpsons and Philosophy, though I'm probably better off just getting drunk and derailing a TVIV thread.

Last year Erin Bligh, the proprietor of Dancing Goats Dairy in Newbury, Mass., planned to introduce a new cheese — hard, with spicy peppers — called Madam President, in what she assumed would be a fromage homage to a historic election.

Then came the unexpected result: hard cheese indeed, in the Evelyn Waugh sense of the phrase.

“I’m like, ‘Oh drat, this is awful,’” said Ms. Bligh, 29, who has four full-time employees overseeing a herd of 45 goats. She renamed the cheese General Leia Organa, after the Rebel Alliance leader in “Star Wars,” and sent chunks to fortify friends attending the women’s march in Boston. “This is my small piece of the resistance,” a local customer told her, brandishing a wedge.
