Learning logic with Beavis & Butthead

(Two friends exemplify logical fallacies, types of causation and other cool stuff. Quotations are from memory, and so may not be entirely accurate, e.g. I may have substituted "buttmunch" for "buttknocker"....)

Circular definition

This is where you include the concept you are defining in the definition of that concept.

Butthead: Shut up bunghole!
Beavis: What’s a bunghole?
Butthead: A bunghole is what you are, bunghole!

Fallacy of accident

Assuming that a generalization will hold in every case.

Butthead: They must be cool, they’re from Seattle.

Converse fallacy of accident (?)

Making an assumption based on insufficient evidence.

Storekeeper: Hello, Maximart. We’ve got a robbery in progress.
Police: Are they armed?
Storekeeper: Er…of course they’re armed. Aren’t all kids armed?

Equivocation

Equivocation means many things, but it is often taken to mean using a word in a different sense to that which was intended. In fact, the word “equivocation” is pretty equivocal.

(Beavis under the influence of a music video, is “dancing” on the sofa.)

Butthead: Get down, Beavis!
Beavis: I am getting down!

Circular causation

A chicken & egg situation. Not always the result of a faulty logic, of course-life is like that, as Butthead demonstrates here…

Beavis: How come Tom Petty’s on T.V.?
Butthead: Coz he’s famous, dumbass.
Beavis: Yeah, but how come he’s famous?
Butthead: Coz he’s on T.V. buttmunch!
Beavis: Yeah, but how come he’s on T.V.?

And so on…

Beavis on the philosophy of language

Words suck!

"Dissin" somebody's else's mama...

To "dis" means to offend or "disrespect" somebody, so I got to thinking, what I could come up with if I were to "dis" somebody else's mama, now I wouldn't really be saying this to YOUR mama, but as a naturally curious guy, I just want to find out how offensive I can get when I put my mind to it. I mean I already know that at some level I can be a tad offensive (well, I don't mean to be...), but I have never really been openly offensive (& really mean it...).

So for the purposes of experimentation & for the greater good of mankind, blah,blah,blah,yada,yada,yada...here goes:

1.) Your mama is so fat she steps on a dollar bill and makes change.

2.) Your mama so fat when I tried to walk around her I got lost.

3.) Your mama's so fat , she uses Mexico as a tanning bed.

4.) Your mamma is so fat when she stepped on a scale it said "to be continued..."

5.) Your mama's so fat that when it rains she wears a yellow jacket and everyone yells "taxi!!!".

6.) Your mama is so fat I had to take a train and two buses just to get on her good side.

7.)Your mama is so fat when she hauls ass she has to make two trips.

8.) Your mama is so fat her cereal bowl came with a lifeguard.

9.) Your mama is so fat the shadow of her ass weighs 100 pounds.

10.) Your mama's is so fat when she goes to the zoo the elephants throw HER peanuts.

Well that's about it for now...I sort of hurt my brain from exerting too much pressure on it to be so damn insulting to somebody's mama. I would like to remind my readers that this was done in the effort to try to discover how truly insulting I can be towards another person's mom. This is not really how I think about YOUR MAMA or anybody else's for that matter...trust me...

being rain man...

I just realized that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, people will never see you as somebody "competent" enough to handle a sensitive job. I mean they should have just come out & tell me that I'm a complete RETARD & that's why I'm stuck doing outbound work, because it's the sort of job that's IDIOT PROOF! I mean, what could go wrong...call up the customer, find out if the cable modem is installed. If it is, well that's the end of the call. If it's not, then just schedule an installation appointment for the customer. How hard could that be?! No wonder people think that way about me, I mean, my job is a piece of cake!!!

Then you get something totally different from what your'e doing right now, something so sensitive that failure to perform properly would mean that everybody's reputation would suffer! People support would lose "face"...sobrang mapapahiya ang companya that people from higher management would perform ritual suicide to pay for the mistake...well you get the picture. Of course since I've been doing mind numbing outbound work, which is very simple & a total "no-brainer", I don't seem to qualify for the new job.

When they told us that we were singled out to join the "pilot" team for outbound work, they told us that we were "cream of the crop", that we were chosen because we excelled when we were doing tier 1 calls. Now I realized that these people were blowing smoke up my ass & I actually believed the bullshit that I was fed then.

I guess I just realized that I'm not a total defect, that I'm no idiot as well as a retard. I'm more than willing to take on this new assignment, I'm confident in the abilities of my teamates, we're the outbound team & we don't back down from any challenge. But unfortunately, the "higher ups"do not have the TESTICULAR FORTITUDE to trust us to get the job done. I honestly feel sorry for them, they are not utilising the full potential of a talented group of men & women who will do what it takes to get the job done. I thought I was holding myself back...I was wrong...it's THEIR FEAR OF FAILURE that's holding me & the rest of my teamates back.

MABUHAY ANG OUTBOUND! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! =)

Beach bum...

I had a blast with my friends when we went to coco beach in puerto galera. It was great to get out of the hustle & bustle of city life. We left via bus ride for the ferry station, that took around 3hrs, then a 1 hr boat trip to coco beach itself.

The resort it self wasn't that amazing, I have seen white sand beaches before, heck, I lived near one when I was in davao. The amazing thing about the place was the view from my cottage, the cottage was located on the side of a hill, overlooking the sea. It was the sort of dwelling I would like to live in, nights were cool, there's no need for electric fans!

Of course there was the daily happy hour, which was around 4pm to 5pm, buy 1 take 1 on all cocktails! Which means getting an extra weng-weng for the price of one (my, my, aren't we repetative today, jc...hehehe)that left me shitfaced for the rest of the day but the feeling of being drunk & not worrying about work the next day was worth the cranium busting hangover I got when I woke up! hehehe

There were a lot of activities there, I enjoyed snorkling most of all, seeing dory in person was even cooler. 'Who's dory?' you ask, well, remember the fish in finding nemo with short term memory loss...yep saw, her in person! hehehehe that was cool, of course the sealife was something else...it's hard to describe something so beautifull & profound that it literarly takes your breath away.

I guess in life we need to get away from things, take a little break so you can recharge, de-toxify, & relax then get back in the game again & start to battle your daily demons. All work & no play will make J.C. a very cranky, unreasoning, angry, frustrated, stressed...well you get the picture... =)

I can relate to this...

this is a forwarded message about the issues concerning our country...
kinda harsh...
but what can i say?
only the truth can set us free.
Ewan ko kung makaka-relate kayo...

Walang kuwenta ang Pilipinas

By: jawbreaker. (isang ordinaryong office worker na ayaw na magbayad
ng tax...ever!)

Hindi ko na mapigilan ang sarili ko. Sukang-suka na ko sa mga
nangyayari sa bansang 'to!

Walang katapusang corruption, walang kamatayang pangbabatikos,
pagbabatuhan ng tae at pagpapa-taasan ng ihi ng mga pulitiko sa bawat
isa, walang tigil na imbestigasyon ng kung ano-anong isyu pero wala
namang matinong resolusyon, walang puknat na pag-aagawan ng
kapangyarihan sa pagitan ng mga partido, patuloy na pagdami ng tamad
at tangang Pilipino, patuloy na pakikipaglaban ng ideolohiyang wala
namang silbi.

Ang gobyerno ng Pilipinas, talo pa ang septic tank na hinihigop ng
Malabanan - saksakan ng dumi at napakabaho. Kaya hindi nakakapagtaka
na ang Pilipinas ang isa sa pinakamahirap at corrupt na bansa sa
mundo. Kasi lahat sila bulok, lahat sila walang kwenta. Lahat sila
sugapa sa kapangyarihan at sa pera.

ANAK NG TETENG! !$#%Q!&!* @!!!!!

KAHIT KRISTIYANO AKO, HINDI KO MAPIGILANG MAGMURA AT HILINGIN SA DIYOS
(MINSAN NGA PATI SA DEMONYO) NA MAMATAY NA SILANG LAHAT AT I-BBQ SILA
NG HABANG-BUHAY SA IMPIERNO.

SINONG "SILA"? EH DI MGA CORRUPT NA GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND WORKERS,
MGA TAMBAY NA PILIPINO NA ANG LALAKI NG KATAWAN PERO HINDI NAMAN
NAGTRATRABAHO AT HINDI NAGBABAYAD NG TAX, MGA MAYAYAMAN AT ARISTANG
TAX EVADERS, PATI MGA AKTIBISTA, NPA AT IBA PANG IDEOLOGICAL GROUPS NA
HINDI NAGBABAYAD NG TAX PERO PANG-GULO!!! MAMATAY NA KAYO!!!

Lagi na lang sinasabi ng mga pulitiko: Ipaglaban ang masa! Tulungan
ang masa! Mahalin ang masa!

PUNYETA! MASA LANG BA ANG TAO SA PILIPINAS?

SINO BA TALAGA ANG BUMUBUHAY SA PUNYETANG BANSANG TO?

SAAN BA GALING ANG PANGPAGAWA NG MGA TULAY AT KALYE? SAAN BA GALING
ANG PORK BARREL? SAAN BA GALING ANG PERANG KINUKURAKOT NYO?

KAMI NA MGA MANGGAGAWA AT MIDDLE CLASS NA BAGO PA MAKUHA ANG SWELDO
BAWAS NA - KAMI ANG BUMUBUHAY SA WALANG KWENTANG BANSA NA 'TO!!!!!!!!!

BAKIT YANG BANG MGA MASANG YAN NA LAGI NA LANG SENTRO NG PLATAPORMA NG
MGA PULITIKO EH NAGBABAYAD BA NG TAX???!!!!

F**K YOU! KAHIT ISA SA MGA NAG-RA-RALLYING MGA SQUATTER NA YAN, KAHIT
SINGKO HINDI NAG-RE-REMIT YAN SA BIR!

PERO PINAPAKINGGAN BA KAMI NG GOBYERNO?

LAGI NA LANG OPINYON NG MASA ANG INIINTINDI NG GOBYERNO.

KUNG SINO ANG NAG-RA-RALLY, SA EDSA, SILA ANG NASUSUNOD.

KUNG SINO ANG MAS MALAKAS SUMIGAW PERO WALA NAMANG ECONOMIC
CONTRIBUTION, SILA LAGI ANG FOCUS PAG MAY PROBLEMA.

SILA LAGI ANG BIDA.

KAMING MGA ORDINARYONG OFFICE WORKERS, OFW'S, LABORERS AT IBA PANG
NAG-TRA-TRABAHO AT NAGBABAYAD NG TAX - KAMI ANG NAGPAPAKAHIRAP PARA
BUHAYIN ANG PILIPINAS. KAMI ANG MGA TUNAY NA BAYANI NG BANSA!!!

Tuwing nakikita ko ang payslip ko, nag-iinit ang ulo ko at gusto kong
maiyak sa inis. Napakalaki ng tax na binabawas sa akin pero ginagamit
lang sa walang kwentang bagay ang perang pinaghirapan ko.

Lahat ng pagtitipid ginagawa ko para suportahan ang sarili ko, pamilya
ko at ang punyetang bansang to. Ni hindi ako makabili ng chicken and
spaghetti meal sa Jollibee kahit gutom na gutom na ko. Nag-tya-tyaga
ako sa waffle na tig-P10, o kaya pag may konting pera, junior
bola-bola siopao sa Mini-Stop sa halangang P20.

Eh kung yung pera ko na pinapangbabayad sa tax sa kin na lang napunta,
eh di sana nakakapanood pa ko ng sine at least 2 beses sa isang buwan.
Nakabili na sana ako ng bagong rubber shoes. Nakapagpagawa na sana ako
ng sarili kong bahay.

Yung tax na binabayad ko, karamihan nun derecho sa bulsa ng mga
corrupt na mga government officials at workers. Habang hirap na hirap
akong i-budget ang pera ko, sila naman nagpapakasarap sa mga mansyon.
SUV's at luxury cars pa ang dina-drive nila, samantalang ako sa
pedicab lang sumasakay!

P****** INA! PERA KO YANG PINAPAGPAPASASAAN NYO!!!!!

Yung tax na binabayad ko, pinapangsuporta sa mga mahihirap. Saan ba
galing ang pera pangpagawa ng housing at pagtulong sa mga mahihirap,
di ba sa mga manggagawa na nagbabayad ng buwis! Pero karamihan ng
mahihirap, kung umasta kala mo inaapi sila ng sobra.

SA TOTOO LANG NO, KAYA ANG MGA MAHIHIRAP LALONG NAGHIHIRAP KASI MGA TAMAD!

Ang daming mga tambay sa kalye na walang trabaho pero ang laki ng
katawan. Eh kung sila ba nagkargador sa pier eh di sana may pera sila.

TAPOS WALA NA NGANG PERA, ANAK PA NG ANAK!

PUNYETA! LALO NYO LANG PINAPADAMI ANG TAMAD AT TANGA SA MUNDO!!!!!

Naaawa ako sa mga batang pakalat-kalat sa kalye at namamalimos. Imbes
na nag-aaral, dumadagdag lang sila sa bilang ng mga future criminals
sa Pinas. Hindi ako magtataka na yung batang nakita kong namamalimos
sa Cubao, pagkatapos ng ilang taon cellphone snatcher na.

YUNG MGA MAGULANG NAMAN DYAN, COMMON SENSE LANG! HIRAP NA HIRAP NA NGA
KAYO SA BUHAY, MANGDADAMAY PA KAYO NG IBA?! PAPARAMIHAN NYO PA LAHI
NYO!

Palibhasa walang mga trabaho at walang pinagkaka-abalahan, kaya
nagkakalabitan at nagsusundutan na lang maghapon, magdamag. Sa totoo
lang, nakakabilib. Kasi kahit sa ilalim ng tulay o sa kariton lang,
nakakabuo pa rin ng bata! Ibig sabihin, maabilidad ang mga Pinoy. Kung
gugustuhin, gagawan ng paraan. Kahit sa makipot, mabaho at maduming
lugar - SOLVE!

Isa pang mga grupo ng tao na nakakainis, yung mga aktibista, NPA at
kung ano-ano pang ideological political groups. Sabi nila, mahal na
mahal nila ang Pilipinas kaya pinagpalalaban nila ang kanilang mga
adhikain.

PUNYETA! EH HINDI RIN KAYO NAGBABAYAD NG TAX! ANG KAKAPAL RIN NG MGA MUKHA NYO!

MGA IPOKRITO! MAHAL DAW ANG PILIPINAS AYAW NAMAN MAGBAYAD NG BUWIS!

BAKIT MAY BIR COLLECTOR BA SA GITNA NG MENDIOLA AT EDSA?! MAY TAX COLLECTION BA SA BUNDOK?!

WALA DIN NAMAN KAYONG MGA TRABAHO! KUNG MAY TRABAHO TALAGA KAYO, HINDI
KAYO MAG-RA-RALLY DAHIL SAYANG ANG SWELDO NYO PAG ABSENT KAYO!

PAANO NYO MAIPAPAKITA ANG PAGMAMAHAL NYO SA PILIPINAS KUNG WALA NA
KAYONG GAWANG MATINO KUNDI MAG-RALLY AT MAMUNDOK??!!!

ISA PA YANG MGA MAYAYAMAN AT MGA ARTISTA, NA NANGDADAYA AT HINDI
NAGBABAYAD NG BUWIS. ANG KAKAPAL NG MUKHA NYO! ANG DAMI NYO NA NGANG
PERA NANGDADAYA PA KAYO SA TAX!!!! HINDI NYO NAMAN MADADALA SA
IMPIERNO YANG MGA KAYAMAN NYO. MASUSUNOG LANG DUN YAN.

KAYA LALONG BUMABAGSAK ANG NEGOSYO DITO SA PILIPINAS, KASI MGA
NEGOSYANTE MANDARAYA. PATI SHOWBIZ INDUSTRY, BAGSAK NA DIN. KARMA ANG
TAWAG DYAN. MGA BALASUBAS KASI.

Sana magkaron ng POLITICAL AND NATIONAL CLEANSING.

Alisin (mas maganda kung patayin na lang) ang lahat ng pulitiko at
political families sa puwesto. Tibagin ang lahat ng mapanirang
organizations at grupo. Itapon sa malayong isla o kaya i-pwersa ng
hard labor ang mga sobrang tamad na mga Pilipino. Ihiwalay ang mga
bata sa kanilang mga tamad at tangang magulang upang makapag-aral sila
at maturuan na maging mabuting tao at mamamayan. Magkaron ng bagong
lider na walang political ties at utang na loob sa kahit sino. At
higit sa lahat, dapat tax payers lang ang pwedeng bumoto!

Kung kinakailangang magka-giyera para magtino ang mga Pilipino, ayos
lang. Masyado na kasing matigas ang ulo ng mga tao dito. Gusto ng
kalayaan, pero hindi naman handang panagutan ang responsibilidad ng
pagiging malaya. Meron daw pinaglalaban na prinsipyo at adhikain pero
takot namang mamatay para dito.

(Sa mga nakaka-alam sa anime na Gundam Wing, yan ang inspirasyon ko sa
new Pinas hehe. I love you Zechs! I love you Treize!)

Hangga't hindi nagkakaron ng radical change, patuloy na walang kwenta
ang Pilipinas at patuloy na magiging tanga ang majority ng mga
Pilipino.

Sa dami ng nag-mi-migrate na Pilipino sa ibang bansa, dadating ang
panahon na minority na lang ng population sa Pilipinas ang may utak.
Yung mga magagaling na Pilipino, malamang maubos na. Sobra na kasi
silang na-fru-frustrate at na-de-depress sa mga nakikita nila.

Ilang taon pa at aalis na rin ako sa Pilipinas. Wala kong balak na
magkaron ng pamilya sa isang bansa na hindi pinapahalagahan ang
kontribusyon ng mga taong tunay na bumubuhay dito. Kawawa naman ang
magiging anak ko kung dito sya mabubuhay.

Sa totoo lang, broken hearted ako. Minahal ko din ang bansang ito.
Pilit kong pinagtatanggol kahit bulok. Nakarating na ko ng ibang
bansa, pero pinili kong bumalik. Pero ngayon, ayoko na. Suko na ko.
Sayang lang ako sa bansang to. Simple lang naman ang hiling ko. Gusto
ko lang mabuhay ng tahimik at maayos. Gusto ko na kahit paano eh
maipagmalaki ang Pilipinas. Pero wala eh. Doomed to be jologs ang
bansang to.

Alam ko marami pa ang umaasa at naniniwala sa pagbabago. Good luck and
God bless! Sana tama kayo at mali ako.

Hyper-thinking...

Ok, so it's around 8:23 am & I'm in the office working my ass off...ok that's really an exaggeration since we don't really have a lot of calls,it's the 4th of July in the U.S. & it's a holiday, that's why there aren't a lot of calls coming in.

My mind sort of wanders from one thought to the next, since the average wait time is around 20 mins, I'm left to my own devices to find a way to keep myself awake w/o the use of any visual or physical stimulation, of course this is an office environment & THAT sort of thing is frowned upon. The only option that's left for me is to rant online. In the recent past that would have been near impossibe but thanks to the brave technology of proxy servers, we, lowly tier 1 technical support reps, are able to circumvent the oppressive & tyrannical restrictions place on our computers by the gods of the I.T. Department.

So I'm back, ready to expose the world to my bland & dry prose...that said, trying to be happy in a place where depression is THE norm isn't exactly a piece of cake. But everybody here tries their best to lift the spirits of his/her seatmate with a bit of levity...either that or just throw insults at each other the whole shift, which makes things interesting & lively. Times like these though are pretty rare in my line of work, right now, I'm relaxed...(no I'm not smoking weed , taking prozac or valium right now). There's no oppressive weight to address THE CUE!!! It's like hanging out and just waiting for the bus to arrive (in my case, that is some dumb, know-it-all, little F@%! who doesn't know what an e-mail address is!).

Really, what have I got write today...nothing interesting I guess, I just miss putting my thoughts on paper & seeing them posted on the internet, that means I'm beginning again, trying to find my balance upon an ever shifting landscape. Of course, ya'all forgive me now if I stumble once in a while, but then again, life wouldn't be so darn interesting if it weren't so unpredictable in the first place, that's the real reason why we stumble...to make things interesting.
