>had to write an essay about a character and a philosopher we learned about in some shitty undergrad lit class interacting
>choose Tiresias and Kant
>don't care at all about essay, write it in a night
>essay is centered around Kant arguing that had Tiresias and Oedipus followed the categorical imperative, his fate could have been avoided, and Tiresias arguing fate cannot be avoided because its determined by the gods
>totally vulgar and sophomoric interpretation of the categorical imperative but i couldnt be bothered to try and make sense of that nonsense in the context of the paper
>make Kant an overly-smug cunt, repeatedly mention his short stature and "bulbous head"
>have Tiresias constantly walk into things and stare at walls as if they're windows cause he's blind
>at the end Kant gets the last word in, self-satisfied he takes his leave
>opens the door to Tiresias' house
>steps outside
>immediately struck by lightning and dies
>Kant refuted
