@@cgme7076 the principles of what is and what is not sounds like prime philosophy (metaphysic) to my ears... but it leads to contradiction principle, so maybe that Aristotle thing only lives on in epistemology nowadays ?
@@fringedemographic Yes! Epistemology is the study of how we know what we know. But his kid was not asking that, but rather why are things the way they are. Maybe that is the problem with parents today--they think their kids are interested in epistemology when actually it's ontology!
Hahahaha hahahaha oh that’s cute you think that’s gonna stop a child’s questioning. No the only thing that stops the line is sleeping, eating, and videogames.
my 6-year old has been going through this "whhhy??" phase. omg it neverrr ends. ..this skit is spot on. you end up coming up with the craziest answers. lol.
Donna Peroche lol. wow. you sound like you don't even care about yourself harboring that much anger and hate. sounds fun. it really does. good luck with that.
Why we exist? The world is 'God' or 'made up of God' or 'Nature' or simply 'Existence'... But have we ever thought why we have to exist..? Why God or even anything exists in the first place..? Philosophers discuss 'WHAT' of world.. Mythologies satisfies our 'HOW' of world.. But i think, nothing can satisfy 'WHY' of this world... Because that will be the 'purpose' of this world, that may be something which is simply out of human mind's thinking ability.. Like table cannot see us.. Or maybe only because our human mind thinks in a cause-effect manner, we think that there must be some cause, some purpose behind this creation, behind everything that exists. This may not be the case.. Reality may be something completely different concept.. It may be the possibility that it is a 'Point' and we are drawing 'Lines' upto somewhere because we are a Line. Nonetheless, one thing is sure, at least for me, that 'It' includes 'me'. Point can make Lines for sure. Can we doubt even this..?
I love the fact I had the exact first predicted reaction when I first saw this (before kids) "I will answer all of their questions". And now I have 2 kids I'm not even saying "fuck you eat your fries". After answering 87 "why's", I'll just ignore them and they go find something else to play with....
I've heard that when small children ask why, it's often because that's the word they know which gets you to dispense more information. They don't want to know literally why; they just want to know more.
when your kid askes you a stupid question, just answer something they'll only get 12 years from now. Like: The sky is blue because the atmosphere is collecting the colors of space and the sun combined with its own small tint, that's why when the sun leaves it becomes black because the yellow contrast has vanished and now the absence of light allows you to see stars!
Not a bad strategy, actually. Kids aren't stupid, just ignorant, and primed to absorb information. Give them that knowledge while the getting's good, who knows what'll stick!
This is from the 1989 hbo series "One Night Stand." The full Louis CK episode is about half an hour long and is available on RU-vid as of September 2023
I just say weird shit to kids who ask me questions. "Why is the sky blue?" "God spilled a bucket of paint." "Why isn't the waitress here?" "Sshh she told me before that she hates you that's why she's not coming." Good thing they never believe me or I'd feel terrible lololol
John conner: "Jesus! You were gonna' kill that guy!" Terminator: "Of course. I'm a Terminator." John Conner.: "Listen to me very carefully OK? You're not a Terminator anymore, alright? You got that?!" Terminator "Why?" John Conner.: "You just can't go around killing people!" Terminator: "Why?" John Conner.: "What do you mean, "why"? 'Cause you can't!" Terminator: "Why?" John Conner: "'Because you just can't, OK? Trust me on this." Terminator: "Why?" John Conner.: "OH FUCK YOU! SHUT UP AND DO YOUR MISSION YOU LITTLE SHIT, GOD DAMN IT!"
Actually there really should be some sort of law, my grandmother's parents were horrible people that shouldn't have been parents and on my grandma's birthday certificate her name is "small child" didn't even have the decency to give their own child a name (She is now known as Kathy and she's awesome)
