Kant is such a Douche
- by Pixel
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Copernicus decide that we weren’t at the center of the Universe? Ptolomy was the one that believed that the Universe conformed to us.
So when any random douche says he wants to instill a “Copernican Revolution” while critiquing the pure reason we’d used before, shouldn’t he logically want to take us out of the center? If this jerk-in-a-hat decided that objects conformed to us, that wouldn’t be a “Copernican Revolution,” it’d be a “Ptolomian Equant Circumlocution” or “Stupidity in a Hat,” right?
For those of you lucky enough to not have to read Immanuel Kant, just know this: his followers and detractors created Communism, Moral Self Justification, the Atomic Weapon, the ‘obey your government’ school of totalitarianism, and several whoppingly rude jokes about Kant’s name.
