  • Are condoms a good protection?

    • Propagandist: Condoms are a very good protection against STIs.
    • Doctors: Syphilis is transmitted also through skin touching.
    • Propagandist: Well, I meant that syphilis can be treated by antibiotics.
    • Scientists: Antibiotics don’t work with new brands of bacteria we “vaccinated” by giving them wrong doses of antibiotics in the past.

  • A typical legal dialogue

    • Lawyer: We help everybody.
    • Victim: I had $300 and $200 were stolen.
    • Lawyer the service price is $2000.

  • Hearing voices

    A doctor, a politician, and a pastor went into a room.

    • Pastor: A human should hear voice of God.
    • Doctor: Who hears voices should be hospitalized.
    • Politician: Freedom of religion!
    • Doctor: Religion is a mental delusion, not a mental illness.
    • (continuation depends on your religion)

  • What is ambivalent?

    “Ambivalent” is a word invented to hospitalize to a psychiatric hospital a human if he/she knows a scientific paradox.

    If I like appearance of a prostitute but dislike her STI, should I be hospitalized for being ambivalent (that’s a symptom of schizophrenia).

  • The definition of journalism

    The definition of journalism: Journalism is writing on particular topics by non-experts.

    This kind of skills is taught is colleges and it’s well-paid. Only journalists have the privilege by tax payers to spread information.

  • “Do what you want.”

    “Do what you want.”

    But if I do not want to do what I want, accordingly this “religion” do I go to the hell? 🙂 If I cannot do, should I kill myself? 🙂

  • Short disproof of moral relativism

    • The moral principle is morality being relative.
    • Is the moral principle is morality being relative an absolute moral principle?

  • Short disproof of relativism philosophy

    • Everything is relative (not absolute).
    • Therefore being relative is not an absolute principle.

  • Short disproof of dialectics philosophy

    • Dialectics: Everything is relative.
    • Dialectics is absolute.
    • Contradiction.

  • “Believe in yourself.”

    You often hear “Believe in yourself.”

    But can you prove that you are right?

    Let model your brain a formal system (something that proves theorems, see a math studybook for details). There is a theorem: If a formal system contains arithmetic, then it cannot prove its own non-contradictness.

    Conslusion: If you believe in yourself, you don’t know arithmetic (or else you believe without a proof).
