The Boethian Paradox

[cookiesonsteve]

Well hey, if your goal of perfect happiness was pissing on a boy using virtue and not desire, then you have reached your highest good. Great job!

[joetjoeb333]

i dont get it

[creepyoldman2]

As a fan of A Confederacy of Dunces, I imagine you are referencing this book as you write "smug letters to old professors." Additionally, Ignatius was himself a fan of Boethius and Fortuna's wheel. The war goes badly for some time, but then, the completion and premiere of the play goes well. How Fortuna's wheel plagues us so! Both funny and well written, I look forward to attempting to interpreting the next in your series =)

[richardtheteague]

At 2:13 you should have written "exorcising" not "exercising"

[lukeism2]

you have a strange sense of humour

[ThorstenWKahl]

The worst waste of time since Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals...

[belljg]

did you know spiro agnew is an anagram of "grow a penis"

[wardancer]

I don't get it. What has this to do with Boethius?

[boorens18]

Whats the significance of the redundance in

"...was an island, and surrounded by water on all sides"

lol I cant figure out what that means....why does he add the redundant part.

[ooglebydoogleby]

nice

[himethisisme]

Am I the only one who thought of Finnegan's Wake? It's as if someone translated it into focused, coherent thoughts but kept the chaos, with the plot and setting still changing at a whim.

[himethisisme]

Then again, it might just be symbolism.

[luerwulf]

OMG, if Dali had had only words to draw with on Theo's ear tat-tattoo.

[trgfunds]

These surface level comments from the masses are an indication of median intelligence and should be dismissed. There are, however, references to very deep contradictions and ironies within these so called "Paradoxes". We can see reflections of the authors psychological state, personality profile, and the way he views the world around him. Essentially, this creative work is the mirror with which the author views himself. Congratulations, Theo. You have garnered my attention.

[raindog951]

I'm getting Deja vu.....

[mrselfrog]

Fit for one of my favorite story tellers!! I can so hear that on Prairie Home!

[H5LL2O25]

The only paradox that I can see is that while I am a bear of very little intellect, I am inexplicably drawn to theowarner's vids. Bother.

I eagerly await the next installment - I've got money riding on "Love Conquers All."

[Hooya2]

Wow, I never realized there were so many islands surrounded by lakes on all sides.

[npoc]

SO CLOSE!

[pumkinpi2]

Damn, damn, damn, and I thought, for one shining moment, that I had written something original!

[Doluses]

I once got pissed at out side L'Opéra de la Bastille, many years ago.

I did how ever grow up to be a fireman.

[scotishjohn]

well

[EpifanesEuergetes]

I once pissed on Spiro Agnew, but it was I who was three years old at the time, he was much older and bigger than a fire hydrant.

[deliciousonionsoup]

What's the paradox here though? There are clearly time span and non chronolgical order features, etc. The barking and the urinating on the 3 year old boy I found strange but I wonder if that was meant to be literal or was instead a state of mind and an urge - which could itself be psychoanalysed. Also, though, the claim that he was over her when he clearly wasn't and he was in fact sublimating. I'm not sure psychoanalysis would have helped anyway. So, anyway, tell me the paradox you mean here.

[alucard9692005]

More... I require MORE

[EpifanesEuergetes]

What a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next part.

[MizarShadow]

Absolutely intense. That piece gave me chills. Surrealism be damned that transcended the realm of the ethereal and skipped right to incomprehensible bliss!

Ernest Borgnine, qu'est ce que c'est passe!!!!!!

[Geodge]

"julienned barramundi"

- priceless!

[NYCFin]

Few videos warrant repeated viewing so rapidly.

[theowarner]

I'm honored that your breaking from making videos includes watching mine.

[AndrianGo]

I was eating pasta primavera that the red headed waiters brought me on a white horse.

[BenCellini527]

This is excellent stuff you got going on here, somewhat surreal. I guess I'll have to wait for the next one, something to which i am looking forward to.

[kalbininkas]

Top quality, as usual. Please, make the fifth one "The Euclidean Paradox."

[TachiRdiesDirty]

war is always going badly, it is war.

[trevorbuvyer]

I'm afraid I am NOT one of the people that "get it". However, I understand that "the war was going badly".

[theorganichispanic]

You time traveling demon!!

[TachiRdiesDirty]

I thought more people would "get it"

[Baszottbivaly]

Seriously dude WHAT THE FUCK?!

[eternaltestament]

I must ask this. Why blue?

[crabbybastard1]

Always a pleasure to listen to. I am curious why you didn't decapitate any waiters in this one? Was it due to the sheep?

[roji56]

Good sir, would you be so kind as to name the piece of music you used in this video?

[ScottJanssen]

It is Lacrimosa from Mozart's The Requiem Mass.

[roji56]

Many thanks.

[kekzzzz]

unfortunately my english is not good enough to get it...

but it´s hilarious anyway^^

[ronaldec7]

What did you eat last night?

[StrongXandir]

Forgive my ignorance but what is this?

I would listen to it if i knew what i was. It says autobiography but it takes place in the 17 the century?

[lifeisgummo]

i need to go out for a walk.

brb

[vassalofanubis]

lol

[VonSchnutze]

This is obviously a political statement against marshmallows in cereal, very nice.

[FlowCell]

The strange dynamic flow of this reminds me of the stream of consciousness one experience while under the influence of psychedelic drugs.

[mjdoyza]

trippy

[bl4ckd0g187]

I have the strangest urge to go snag some absinthe and urinate on a three year old boy.... but do continue. it's an interesting story ;)

[lpavluke]

Were you inspired by SNL's Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey?

[TheFoolscap]

You get bonus points for including Ernest Borgnine. Just like real life.

[ishy5921]

Very very nice, great laughs. Do continue.

[Noidnitsua]

Fantastic!

[richardaj230]

Is there a connection between the chronological (among other things) inconsistency and the title? (lol is this some sort of paradox?)

[theowarner]

Uh... if you watch the first one, it's an on going thing...

[urbanelf]

Ah!  That day of tears and mourning when from the ashes shall arise...

I wonder what the recently cuckholded Jezuzfreek thinks of your memoirs.

[massspectrician]

This is curious and imaginative. I like it. Props.

[randyhelzerman]

awesome.

[JerkyChid]

soooo ridiculously funny. and all the random intelligent stuff really makes me feel dumb lol

[theowarner]

Thanks!

[mikooou]

wow....

[theowarner]

Hey, Mikooou... good to see your name!
