Sophist Grades a Mario Essay

Look at these sophists giving 🤡out grades, failing even, to good philosophical work. 🤡 Phil Jamesson Philosophy 101 02/18/22 Midterm I Mario, the Idea vs. Mario, the Man Everyone knows Mario is cool as fuck, but who knows what he’s thinking? Who knows why he crushes turtles? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mythical (nonexistent) Dr Pepper? Perchance. I believe it was Kant who said “Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.” Mario exhibits experience by crushing turts all day, but he exhibits theory by stating “Lets-a go! Keep it up, baby!” When Mario leaves his place of safety to stomp a turty, he knows that he may Die. And yet, for a man who can purchase lives with money, a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels a fine. We think of Mario as a hero, but he is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance. to save the process? also grow horrible opening why ??? You can’t just say “perchance” ???? stop OK? F why are we saying this Fire Where

A professor’s annotated philosophy midterm compares Mario’s video-game actions to Kantian theory, but the essay is filled with pompous nonsense, random references, and repeated use of “perchance.” The giant F and increasingly exasperated handwritten comments parody an overconfident student trying to sound profound, so the image is used to mock pretentious writing or an argument that collapses under scrutiny.
