Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 03, 2020

They can both be correct and the GOP believes in neither

Hey! Look! There is a mountain snuggled between them! I wonder what they offer!?! Anyone want to join me on a hike that direction!?!

just exactly which finger is holding up?

Where can you get one of those mountains with perfectly-formed steps? I know a few people that would love that for a Christmas present.

The truth is, there is no truth; only perception and points of view.

hmmmm…. so science and the facts are the same?!?

Why is it that the fact side of things seems to be always playing catch up? That’s backward from (ahem) reality.

I hear the faint sound of banjo music….

First there is a mountain then there is no mountain, then there is.

This reminded me of show regarding reality with Deepak Chopra and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Guess which is which!

DUAL MOUNTAINS

And just guess which mountain the Mountain Sheeples will take?

A true preceptor of Existential Truth would not have lost his inner tranquility as this bogus guru plainly has.

The guy on the left should have been orange.

Wishful thinking vs. the scientific method.

Then Quantum Mechanics showed up and said, “It’s settled, you’re both right”.

I remember when Wiley used to be funny and/or clever.

Where’s Wise Ass on the Mountain?

Truth and fact are one and the same. Just drop your ego and tribal identity and embrace them.

Religion vs Science. Warm and fuzzy vs cold hard facts. I’d like to hear the facts and then go talk about them existentially.

In reality there should be no difference between facts and truth.

Blessed is the one who sees no conflict.

vidyohs It is always amusing to see the signs of desperation on the part of the looney left sycophants. Watching Wiley create his little pieces of hysteria is encouraging.

Almost everyone really wants existential truth while convincing themselves they’re getting fact-based information (rebuttals to others).

It’s funny how republicans like leaders who “go by their gut”, given how full of crap they are.

This is a re-run. Both are not mutually exclusive. People are not infallible, so science is not perfect and there is a lot more to learn and understand. Religion has imperfect people to do what a perfect being wants us to do, and some completely ignore the call to serve, some corrupt His teachings and others try to do what was commanded but since we are not perfect, it will be done imperfectly

That’s really chasmic.

The truth is nothing is absolute. Everything is relative and impermanent – Buddha

That smug fool on the right hasn’t recognized that a lot of his facts are based on false assumptions and that he can’t prove a negative.

The idiot on the left hasn’t seem the the Truth will always be subject to change.

Truth is for those with a lazy imagination.

At no point does science “rebut” existence. Science gives you all the things you need to survive with the spare time to contemplate your selfish existence. :)

That last step to existential truth is a doozie…

If the guy has existential truth, there are no facts that can rebut it. They seem to be on the same side.

of coarse the dem. is on the left.

The chasm is not as wide as the differences between people today, but it suffices.

“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” ― Aldous Huxley

Why is the guy on the left frowning and the guy on the right smiling? Seriously, I’d like to hear some opinions, but please don’t bother with political left v. right.

What ISN"T politicized these days?

Just when I’m thinking of taking up an ancient eastern religion…

Actually, religion and science should be the closest of siblings. Even though science doesn’t focus on God one way or the other, it has done more to reveal the true nature of the universe around us than any other human paradigm. Therefore, from one perspective, science brings us closer to God by giving us more information and understanding about many of the ways in which God functions.

Unfortunately, many religions tend to be unable to accept much of their own historical teaching as allegorical and not literal. Which thereby causes them to react to science with possessive jealousy over what they perceive to be a battle for the rights to explain objective reality.

There are at least two approaches to existentialism- the religious (Kierkegaard) and the athiest (Sartre). The Existential Truth poster shown in this toon clearly ignores that. Perhaps the toonist is not acquainted with Sartre?

Is “Existential Truth” the same as Alternate Facts?

Notice that those steps are only wide enough for One Person at a time to climb Up.

Once you’ve asked your question, you have to figure out how to get back Down.
