The Ultimate Question . . . about PB&J
While eating lunch today I believe I may have stumbled upon one of the most thought provoking and important questions that could ever be asked. The question goes like this: “Is it possible to make a bad peanut butter and jelly sandwich assuming 1. that you have no personal prejudices against PB&J, 2. that you are completely competent enough to make said sandwich, and 3. that all the ingredients (all three; bread, jelly, and peanut butter) are of acceptable quality to make a PB&J sandwich?” So really I’m curious, I’d like to hear what people think. Is it possible assuming the three above conditions that somebody could make a PB&J and bite into it and just be like “ahhh, shit, this sandwich just sucks. How did I do that? How did I make a crappy PB&J?” I have a feeling philosophers will be struggling with this one for years to come. I mean is it determined ahead of time that the sandwich will suck or does the PB&J have the freewill not to suck. Or is the suckiness of the sandwich purely a subjective matter in a godless universe? So many questions, so many possibilities. Okay you great minds of the world, I’ve given my challenge, lets see some intellect at work here.
