Aristotle And Billie Eilish In Flooded Subway Tunnel
Aristotle and Billie Eilish are stuck in Flooded Subway Tunnel and forced to have a deep conversation.
1. Aristotle: "The predicament, though unpleasant, offers a stark canvas for contemplating human virtue: will we succumb to fear, or strive for excellence amidst the mire?"
2. Billie Eilish: "Ugh, virtue? More like, will this water give me, like, some weird disease or something? Everything's so messed up, you know?"
3. Aristotle: "Indeed, 'messed up' reflects a lack of order, a departure from the inherent telos, the purpose, that governs all things, even this flooded tunnel."
4. Billie Eilish: "Purpose? My purpose is getting out of this nasty puddle. Like, the world's already drowning, this just feels extra."
5. Aristotle: "Consider, even in despair, the potential for catharsis, a purging of negative emotions through shared experience – a shared escape, perhaps."
6. Billie Eilish: "Catharsis? More like a viral TikTok moment waiting to happen. Imagine the views on this apocalyptic vibe."
7. Aristotle: "The fleeting gratification of ephemeral attention pales in comparison to the enduring satisfaction of achieving true eudaimonia, a life well-lived."
8. Billie Eilish: "Eudai-what-now? I just want to create something real, something that, like, actually makes people feel something, even if it's uncomfortable."
9. Aristotle: "Authenticity, then, becomes your particular virtue, a striving for truth in expression, regardless of societal expectations or flooded subways."
10. Billie Eilish: "Yeah, I guess. But if we don't find a way out soon, I'm gonna write a really depressing song about subway water, for real."
