What made EGS magic immune to science is that it would change the rules with the deliberate motive of preventing people from understanding it.

[Comic for Friday, Sep 1, 2023]

EGS magic is (or was, prior to the decision to stop changing) one of the few types of magic that could NOT be reliably analyzed via the Scientific Method due to completely violating the Copernican Principle, i.e. that the rules of the universe are the same for all people in all times and places.

Even if Kevin was not deliberately designed to teach this subject, he may teach Tedd how to stand up to authority figures 

Speaking of authority figures, Tedd was given this “assignment” by the same person who created Kevin. It is likely that Kevin believes Arthur to be an authority superior to all others.

On the other hand, it also implies that using blunt attacks against it would result in your weapon/shield/fist/whatever getting stuck to it.

It took me a while to realize that The Luggage from the Discworld novels was meant to be a parody of Mimics.

The poor quality of the tap water is probably the reason why people raised in those areas scoff at the mere idea of drinking plain water.

Trees are SO dangerous, in fact, that after we kill them, we burn the corpses just to make sure!

Left-handedness was held in such suspicion that the word “sinister” meaning literally “the left side” became used as a term meaning suspicious and malicious”.

You would be sensitive to overheating too if you had a fur coat that you can’t take off.

The problem is not being ignorant per se, but rather disregarding one’s own ignorance—they assume too often that they already know all that they need to know.

As Socrates is claimed to have said, “The wise man knows that he knows nothing.”

Just one more . . .

Has Tedd exhibited addictive/compulsive behavior previously?  That's the rabbit hole down which our mad genius seems likely to fall.

 

We saw Tedd being similarly obsessive at the beginning of One Way Road.

If Tedd does have school, then they need about three cups of coffee beforehand.

Actually he was impeached over it. Not even a month after. And no, there was nothing peaceful in his call for rioting. Unless you would argue that four police officers was murdered peacefully during the protests. The counterargument was that this riot happened spontaneously, which I am having some trouble imagining given the large number of weaponry and paramilitary equipment the 'peaceful' protesters brought along. Presumably the gallows that was erected was intended to send a peaceful sign of protest as well? And they merely had the materials at hand through happenstance?

I believe that the assertion is that Trump called for peaceful action, and the crowd got violent in defiance of his intent. This is rather akin to Henry II’s declaration of “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” in reference to Archbishop Thomas Beckett, soon after which Beckett was assassinated.

"average president has 2 felony charges" factoid actually just statistical error. average president has 0 felony charges. Felonies Don, who lives in a state of disgrace (Florida) & has 92 felony charges, is an outlier and should not have been counted"

Herein lies the folly of assuming that the arithmetic mean is more descriptive of a population than the median or the mode.

Well yes, but in terns of “causing the very international situation that you were seeking to prevent”, it fits.

It’s like the Romulans attacking to try to keep the Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites divided—instead they ended up driving them to create a unified nation (the United Federation of Planets).
