This is my younger brother's comic about philosophy. My very biased opinion is that it's excellent.

Feel like some people don't respond well to links.

Existentialism is not philosophy.

I like them...and yet they concern me. Minus the time machine bit that comic pretty much sums me up. Ok, I haven't been homeless due to my existentialist and other pain in the ass thoughts but only because I hid my despair well through those terrible young adult years.

God... I mean not God or god but god as in 'gawd' (that's a lot of gods). Aw hell, let's just go with shit.... shit, is that what all this thinking leaves me with? Am I the next smiling old man on the death bed?!

Existentialism is not philosophy.

You know what philosophy is then?

There was actually a great episode of the Outer Limits from 2001 (episode 8, season 7) called 'Think Like a Dinosaur' with a very similar plot to the cartoon, with some of the same questions asked.

Basically, Dinosaur-like aliens have set up an installation on the moon to teach humans interstellar teleportation. When an accidental duplicate of a woman is created by the teleportation process, it creates an ethical dilemma.

In other words, the teleporation process creates a duplicate at the destination, and automatically destroys the original. The transporter malfunctions and does not destroy the original. The human (played by Enrico Colantoni) is ordered to destroy the original after having fallen in love with her.

Well worth the time to watch.
