Angriest Rice Cooker Director’s Cut 21–On Sartre and perception

Gosh, I honestly couldn’t tell you where I got this idea about Sartre’s philosophy. I also couldn’t tell you one way or the other whether it’s an accurate characterization of anything he ever said. I’m sure I didn’t make this idea up–it hinges on an awfully specific idea that I doubt I would have conjured up on my own. I’m guess it came through, half-remembered from high school. But I don’t even know when I would have gotten this idea in high school. Debate maybe? We did talk about some philosophy then. We also talked about existentialism in both history and english classes. Iunno.

I’m sure that I didn’t know even when I made this comic. This is kind of a bad habit I have, to pop out facts that come from long ago. Sometimes it’s ok, but sometimes things come out horribly mangled. And sometimes it’s a problem because the memories, while accurate, are so old that the “facts” involved come from a time when I was not quite as able to distinguish jokes from reality. It’s probably a good thing that I was never exposed to Look Around You as a kid.
