Philosophy of Romance -- Winner of the Redneck Writer Award!

Prestigious Award is so Difficult to Win That There is no 1st Place! That’s Right! 2nd Place is the Highest Award!

In Honor of this Award, Philosophy of Romance Introduces a New Philosophical Problem.

The Redneck Philosopher Paradox:

What happens when very funny Redneck Philosopher jokes are not understood by the rednecks nor read by the philosophers? Are these jokes funny in the same way a tree falling unheard in the forest is noisy?

The First Examples:

Mind-Body Problem

You know you’re a redneck philosopher when you think the ‘mind-body’ problem derives from drinking too much white lightin’.

BUT

You know you’re a gifted redneck philosopher when you think the ‘mind-body’ problem begins with white lightin’ and ends in the morgue.

*****

'Problem of Evil'

You know you’re a redneck philosopher when
You think the ‘problem of evil’ is the possibility of getting caught.

BUT

You know you’re a gifted redneck philosopher when you think the ‘problem of evil’ is when you wonder why the devil would allow a good God to exist.

*****

Paradox

You know you’re a redneck philosopher when you think a paradox is a pair of doctors.

BUT

You know you’re a gifted redneck philosopher when you think a paradox is a pair of doctors who offer mutually exclusive diagnoses for the same patient at the same time.
