  • According to Wikipedia, the bhagavad gita was written around 200 BC, whereas stoicism originated in 400 BC. Admittedly, this was just the result of some very cursory research, the Buddhist philosophy could go back further than the writing itself, but it seems to me like they independently arise around the same time (that being around 200 years difference, lol) but you really need to be careful saying stuff like that. I’ve made the same mistake dozens of times where I confidently state something, only for it to be disproven by a minute of googling.


  • I’ve never seen an episode of house, but based on secondhand accounts, this is how I imagine an episode going:

    House: hello, it’s me, Dr house. I bet all of you that I can identify some crazy disease.

    Unimportant Dr 1: You always do that

    House: you are stupid and you should feel bad.

    [Patient enters]

    Patient: Doctor, I got bit by my dog.

    House: You are stupid and should feel bad.

    Unimportant Dr 1: House! You can say that to a patient!

    House: Of course I can, it’s true. [Starts spitting out slurs]

    Unimportant Dr 2: I’m so sorry about Dr house, let me dress that wound.

    House: No! The patient can’t be treated!

    Dr 2: why??

    House: I’ll never tell. 😏

    [Patient faints]

    House(to Dr 2): How could you be so stupid!?

    [House grabs nearby syringes and begins injecting the patient]

    [Patient wakes up]

    House(to Dr 2): If you weren’t so stupid, you would’ve gone to the patients house, kidnapped their dog and beheaded it. You see, this dog has a penchant for eating people with AIDS. So when the dog went to bite the patient, the patient got AIDS.

    Patient: I have AIDS?

    House: You are stupid and disgusting and you should feel bad.

    Dr 1: I guess I owe you, House!

    House: Give me the hospital’s supply of morphine. I am a drug addict.
