I mean I see the point of this I guess.. but it's dumb. Yes it was intended to be in a comedic way as that she's the only person capable of logical and critical thinking, while everyone else is crazy. You might even argue that it's deeply philosophical as who decides right from wrong, but it's also presented in such a blunt and banal way. Like I genuinely believe I could have thought of a better script for such idea instead of whatever this was. Looks like something a kid has made. It's ended fairly well I guess, but also incredibly simply. Some people are even saying that this is political and stuff, but it's not that deep, it's just showing how people are overreacting too much and even hints that people question too much. So actually while it tries to be philosophical at the same time it makes fun of philosophy. Horrible

this is how i imagine being a teacher is nowadays, cuz srsly students r getting away w ANYTHING 😭😭 well at least in the news i see… nothing much going on in ours (other than rumors n such).

an interesting message! while i do think free thinking is apart of innovation and what makes us move forward as people, to what extent does it remain— well, thinking? i mean, 2+2 is 4! this is objectively true as its been backed up by whatever mathematician decided to describe it, this is the exact reason that the argument of “there is a possibility that it may be 22” falls— while there may be a reasoning for you to believe that, there is no evidence or research that can prove it!

i feel like this is especially applicable now, while faith and values are often based off of believing in something that cant be seen— i just think its crazy that people can ignore objective truths just to appease whatever their mind wants to believe is “right” or “normal” (notoriously the baby boomers…).
