The Philosophy of the Number 2

The lesson was on A priori and A posteriori knowledge. A posteriori knowledge is knowledge that can be experienced. There is a keyboard under my fingers, and I have knowledge of it because I can experience it being there. A posteriori knowledge is that can be gained through pure reason. The example given on the tape was mathematics. We can deduce that 2+2=4, but we cannot directly experience the number 2.

At first I understood, and it make me think, which I think is the whole point of the tapes, right? Then, the lecturer asked, “Where does the number 2 exist? Where can we find the number 2?”

And my stupid brain kicks up, “Well it depends on how scared a man is…haw haw haw.” At that point I laughed every time the lecturer said “number 2.”

Everything’s a goddamned joke to you isn’t it, Mr. Dyer? I’ve got a good mind to slap your fat face! You are destroying your life with that…that…that GARBAGE! All right, Mister Sister, I want you to tell me… No, better yet, stand up and tell the class: What do you want to do with your life?!?!

I wanna Rock! ROCK! dun nana naaahh…

Where was I now? Something about poop, right? Bah. Damn.
