This is not philosophy!

Doomsday Philosopher is to use common sense to understand philosophy, and to use familiarity to understand true knowledge.

The "rationality" in our common sense is "a person controls his own behavior intellectually", which corresponds to "sensibility". What this means is that a person either does things calmly, rationally and methodically, or according to feeling.

In this film, it is the conflict between "rational" and "irrational", not the philosophical debate between "rational" and "irrational".

Philosophically "rational", this question does not have a simple and clear answer. Once this question is asked, it means that we are about to get into long and hard thinking. Simply put, reason is to admit that human reasoning can be used as a source of knowledge, and will not "negate" sensibility due to the unique functions and values ​​of "rationality". It regards sensibility and reason as two kinds of mental things and mental abilities that play different uses. Irrationality is against the idea of ​​becoming.

The reason why I recommend it is that the "moral dilemma" proposed in this article will arouse people's thinking.

    The title is about philosophy but no logic.

    It's just a little bit like the end of the world?

After the Dark quotes

  • [Mr. Zimit just announced to the class that they'll conduct a final big thought experiment, about survival during a global cataclysm]

    Chips: But what kind of cataclysm are we talking about? Gamma ray burst? Pandemic? Erupting super volcano? A sudden shift in the Earth's axis rotation? Grey goo?

    Mr. Zimit: Hang on, Chips, we'll get there.

    Chips: But is it biological? Geological? Thermo-nuclear? Meteorological?

    Mr. Zimit: Let's go old school. Say... atomic.

  • [In the third iteration, Petra waives her own eligibility, and now announces who receives the last remaining bunker slot]

    Petra: Bonnie, get inside.

    Bonnie: I'm a soldier, I know how to knock things down. You're an engineer, you know how to build things up. I'm not worth as much.

    Petra: My logic's fuzzier. In my apocalypse, everybody is worth as much as everybody else.

    Bonnie: I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself to save me.

    Petra: I won't let *you* sacrifice yourself to save me.

    Bonnie: Then we'll both go up in smoke, and you'll have wasted a slot for someone to live.

    [Petra then asks Chips instead of Bonnie for the last bunker slot]
