The fall semester starts in two weeks (at my institution, at
least). It’s time to replenish the stock of philosophy light-bulb jokes. To get
things started, here are two:

 

(1) How many Rawlsians does it take to change a light-bulb?

Two. One to secure the light-bulb from the original position
and one to place it behind a veil of ignorance.

(2) How many zombies does it take to change a light-bulb?

None. Zombies have no idea what it is like to change
light-bulbs.

 

Feel free to add your own jokes in the comments below.

I wish everyone a successful semester.

  1. I like those two:
    – How many decision theorists does it take to change a light bulb? Nobody knows, you can’t draw a decision matrix in the dark.
    – How many speech act theorists does it take to change a light-bulb? Wait, do you really want to know or are you asking me to change it?

  2. Good ones, Alex. Thanks!
