The Dead Poets Society When You Ask “is Water Wet?”

The dead poets society when you ask “is water wet?”

Neil: Fully believes water is not wet, has no evidence, has a brutal (but friendly) argument with Charlie about it. It gets ugly. They start pulling out the yo mama jokes.

Todd: Stands there really confused, like a deer in headlights, immediate panic no thoughts head empty

Charlie: Fully believes water is wet, has no evidence, ends up losing the argument because Keating agrees with Neil.

Knox: “…water…*is* the wet…?”

Meeks: “Well the definition of wetness is when water adheres to the surface of a material, so you could make the argument that water is wet because it is a bunch of water molecules that touch other water molecules, but that would also mean that a singular water molecule is dry, because it doesn’t have any other water molecules on it to make it wet.”

Pitts: *cries*

Cameron: *tries to agree with Charlie but gets told to shut the fuck up*

Keating: Laughs a little bit because what kind of silly question is that, but he thinks about it for a second and decides that no, water cannot be wet in the same way that dirt cannot be dirty, or dust cannot be dusty- things can be dusty if they have dust on them, but you wouldn’t take a handful of dust and say “wow this dust is super dusty.”

yeah star sign whatever but are you a “what else can i possibly throw in to finally hit this word count”-person or a “the word count actively limits my freedom of expression and only exists because whoever set it fears my unlimited power”-person?

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you
