Sometimes people say to me - “Mister Poo - what is phenomenology?”
I always point them to the example of the toad in the bowl.
If no one is there to see the toad in the bowl - then does it really exist? Or is it just a malformed shit of the universal mind? With warts.
As so [...]

If you need to find a toilet in London, you can now text the word “toilet” to 88097 and the local council will text you back details of your nearest public toilet.
They call it Sat-Lav and it costs 25p. Where there’s muck there’s brass.

Look at this big fat fucker.
David Hume was famous for revolutionising Anglophone philosophical thought in the 18th century by rejecting God and standing up to the church in favour of the new rationalism and empricism. He was also a big lad.

Mister Poo sincerely asks. Nietzsche says nihilism is a “will to nothingness” and should be opposed. He calls it the poisoning of the human soul.
What do you think he meant?

Plus there are now golden toilets like this one that cost a quarter of a million Euros.

Austrian 20th century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein was unbelievably wealthy and was the best-known brain of the early 20th Century, famous amongst intellectuals the world over. So why the mardy mug?
Well, old Ludo reckoned at first that the facts of science told us everything but, later on , realised he was just talking and it meant [...]

Some people say to me: “Mister Poo - what is existentialism really?”
I can only answer in vagueries for that is what it was all about. If Descartes (a Rationalist) said “I poo therefore I am”, Nietzsche (an Existentialist) said “This poo is only any good because I made it”.
Later on, Albert Camus (a Frenchman) said [...]
