You jest, but some actually do often confuse objective perception with objective reality.

Fact is though, the pursuit of a perfect vessel with which to observe reality is silly and impractical, so we make due with common shared characteristics.

In other words, the cheese itself is not cheese, we only perceive it as cheese

We experience a world through the senses. We have no other way to experience any world that may or may not exist. The world experienced through the senses is apparently consistent, and if we do not deal with it, we have bad sensory experiences, or cease to be experienceable to each other entirely. So, since this is the only world we can interact with, and how we do so matters to our happiness, all we can do is take this world on its own terms and deal with it.

The objectively real world may be separate from and indifferent to sense perception, but sense perception isn't indifferent to the objective world. Sense perceptions are caused by an interaction of our sense organs and the world. Surely from repeated patterns of sense perception we can draw some correct inferences about the external world?

No you're supposed to take all the cheese and make little cheese angels on the floor while they grate it around you

I agree with the pasta, which questions if it's good enough and takes the notion of an implied revisit of another ingredient as a validation of its inadequacies.

That shit is like $50/lb so just keep grating and I'll take it in a to go box.

I too love cheese and want to eat a shit ton of it but I count my calories because I don't want to end up fat

Prude

He's using the fine grating side, as is appropriate for parmesan

When using one of the small sides of the grater, you hold it by the large edges, but since you're not rubbing your fingers up and down the blades you will be uninjured

gotta get your iron somehow

Existential Comics is a philosophical comic.

The philosophy is plagued with circular logic (thus is the joke). Occam's Razor would state that the guy probably just likes cheese.

Instead of making it awkward, perform the Austin Powers photography monologue.

"Yes. Yes! YES."

"NO! NO!"

"Yes"

He did! The heuristic was "what the chef recommends" and the next meal will adjust that estimate downward... assuming "as much cheese as possible" doesn't result in the collapse of the universe.

All information is empirical, but all decisions are not. Life clearly requires approximation, and this is such a simple idea which a ton of really smart people fail to grasp.
