Mmmmm .. mandalas.

I like meat mandalas best.

Uh, those aren't in any way mandalas -- power radiating outward from center, center as center of the universe, mandala as political organization, etc. Doesn't mean I don't like a good pizza, though. Now: everyone tell me I'm stupid and don't get it.

Sometimes something is "so cool" that only a few people get it.

Sometimes a thing is so uncool, that everyone gets it.

Sometimes a bunch of poseurs construct something that is supposed to be cool, and make you think that if you don't get it, then you're "uncool". But in doing so, they make something that is understood by no one, which makes it just stupid.

@4 Ah... got it. The gist: I'm uncool, but they're stupid. I like that!

prerecorded lecture with slides! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@3 Don't listen to Balio, he is brain poison. It's called a joke. Here, let me explain: the photo contrasts the form of the Mandala as a cosmological symbol which represents the universe with pizza: a symbol of consumerist Americana. It is making an observation about how consumerism has come to represent a sort of spiritual model for how we understand the universe. See now isn't it funnier now that it's been explained?!

Yes! Because any round object with somewhat randomly placed items must be linked to Hindu-Buddhist conceptions of the universe!

I get it, it's just not that clever. Now, if they said the pizza was a representation of a Catholic Church -- now that's laughs! If you squint really hard, they kind of do look like churches!
