View submission: AITA for questioning everything?

View parent comment

It is only by questioning everything that we understand anything; and I choose to question the meaning even of the insults thrown by cattleherds, so that I may end up knowing more than you, an expert on farts.

So you admit that you question everything, even insults thrown by cattleherds or farts very recently aimed in your direction by comic playwrights. 'Everything', therefore is a broad category, broader than the clouds where you keep your head. Would you agree, therefore, that logically if there were even one subcategory of 'everything' where questioning it would make you an asshole, that you therefore would be an asshole?
