001. The Onion, in "GMOs: Myth vs. Fact", writes:
"Myth: it's healthier to eat foods that occur in nature.
Fact: all knowledge is mediated through the prism of human experience and culture, thus the very existence of nature is subjective."
Note: IT'S COMPLICATED!!! The gag makes me laugh a little, with its what I'll call 'post-modernistic epistemic nihilism'. I'm not sure if they're joking about their 'fact'. There is 'the stuff of universe BESIDES human experience'. This 'phenomenology of self-conceit' is only, in my view, a little-bit-of-funny, though, unless, of course, their fact is also part of the gag. Hmmmm.
