  • Also, I suspect… good to acknowledge that we’re all prey to that mental shortcoming.

    Like, sometimes there’s the urge to completely banish subjective / cloudy thinking from our logic processes, I suppose, but at the same time… doesn’t that also kind of limit our understanding of ‘opposites?’ I.e., people who function so viscerally in terms of outrage, buttons pushed… and of course, the deep, dark, fundamental fear of the unknown…?

    My theory is that it’s highly important to understand how other folks think, if that makes sense.







  • Some of the early ones are pretty awkward, but this is gold.

    And I mean, specifically-- not “awkward” in that the joke was bad, uncreative or unfunny, but moreso that Larson was clearly still in that formative period, still with some rough edges to work out in his comics mastering.

    It’s periods like these really, that I consistently find utterly fascinating. Particularly when the creator is pretty dang genius. Not unlike Groening and team behind Simpsons S1, if that makes sense.
