We have a bonus comic for you.

They are under the page “Xeno’s Philosophy Comics” above.  There’s a thumbnail of each comic that you can click on to bring up the comic itself or you can click on the link for the image next to the Comic #.

We’re calling these Xeno’s Philosophy Comics.  They’re drawn by Xeno, who can’t draw very well.  The nerd humor is still there, though, so rest easy.  I can’t guarantee a regular update for those.

We will continue to provide you with your Monday/Wednesday/Friday fix of Vlad the Vegan that you’ve come to know and love.  These are just an added dose of nerdom to waste some time.

Also, as you may or may not notice, on the left hand side of the page is the Categories list.  We’ve added a sketchbook section there where you can find doodles and drawings for Vlad.  We’re hoping to get some wallpapers, etc. done as well.

Anyway.  Xeno’s Philosophy Comic.  Socrates Stinks.  Enjoy!

There’s a new Xeno comic up today.  It’s about Pascal’s Wager.

Pascal’s Wager is a classic argument for faith, but is more or less delivered tongue-in-cheek.  It argues that one should go ahead and have faith because if one is right and God exists, one is rewarded and if one is wrong and God doesn’t exist, one doesn’t lose anything.  Easily debunked on a couple of levels, but presented for you here in a reductio ad absurdum fashion.

Anyway, that’s Thursday’s Xeno comic.  We should have a new one next Tuesday.  We’ll see how long we can keep up this Tuesday/Thursday Xeno comic thing.

Your regular Vlad M/W/F will continue uninterrupted.  Have faith, the weekend’s almost here.

New Xeno comic today.  It’s called Kant’s Categorical Imperative.

There’s a pretty decent Wikipedia article on it, but if you don’t know what it is, I’ll sum it up, “Act as though your actions should exist as ethically universal laws.”

Or, even briefer, “Be nice and use reason.”

All of you Kantians may now feel free to attack.

I really should have taken more philosophy classes at school.  It’s just that they were held so early.  Who can really be expected to get up that early?  3 pm, 4 pm.

New Xeno comic today.  It’s about Nietzsche in hell.
