Let's consider: I started a daily series of stamps about five years ago. Prices were cheap back then: maybe 37 cents for a US stamp. I did a few with one cent: COWBOY LUNG CANCER. Cigarettes are a cheap way to get sick. I did a few sub-topics: Count down to Christmas Advent Calendar Problems; Teddy Bears in Trouble series. Now I'm doing Stupid Philosophers Who Can Write. We will see were this goes next.

I don't think I can do all of those problems in a single stamp.

haha! Humor is the default emotion and that's a real challenge for intercommunication: we say a lot that's not neutral (off putting), angerist (put downing), saddened (oh! morose wounded mind-me?), happy (fawning rule), or pain (panic button-up). That said, 90% of joking is incomplete: it's a mood.=>Absurdistan Post

Looks like I'll have to do a stamp about that tomorrow

Penguins? yes

Steppenwolf? uh..the solitary hater of conventions? I love conventions: they are rules, lines, minds, love itself. I knew a few Steppenwolf types when I was at the Goethe Institute. There was a Bulgarian, disappointed about everything except himself. He had a long, red shawl, which he flung about when words seemed to fail. He shot himself, aKa Werther, and there was a fuss about getting his burial papers in order. Oh conventions! He couldn't shake them even in death.

Some authors say that that philosophical enquiry is second to science and therefore only the Queen, as opposed to the King, that is, having second-order, having concepts, theories and presupposition as its subject matter rather than being all alone and isolated from reality and action. Philosophy is "thinking about thinking", of a "generally second-order character". Philosophers study, rather than use, the concepts that structure our thinking. The answer is 42, according to Deep Thought, from the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. A supercomputer, in this book, took 7.5 million years to compute the ultimate question of life and revealed ‘42’ as the answer. Hence, the number is a representation to the answer to life.  Since Philosophers don’t like to actually USE concepts, they reacted in fear, and attempted to  turn the machine off, with contradictory synecdoche.
