The irony is, as I read the OP I thought it was very much in the style of McSweeneys and then there is this. It is a pretty obvious humor device so I assume the ideas are independent. And the Socratic dialog framing adds another layer of humor since this is closer to a juxtaposition, lampooning both Swift's vapidity and Plato's writing style. | ||
