*sporfle!*

Vintage faux wank, pseudo-intellectual style
This is several years old, but it's such a gem that I just have to share. mrgoat of Kuro5hin satires literary critics who take everything too seriously by writing a very serious literary critique of... the Power Puff Girls: "An In-Depth Anaylsis of the Cultural Ramifications Evidenced in the Powerpuff Girls". Not only is this a fun read by itself, but mrgoat also gets into an argument with Fluffy Grue over whether Bubbles is a dumb airhead or not, but done in the style of two stuffy literature professors debating over the more obscure points of Kafka's stories, rather than like rabid fangirls:

In the concept of identity.

Bubbles spends most of her time sitting in a daze of action about her. She doesn't really know herself because she does not think about it.

I believe there are many zen masters who would indeed disagree with you. I find your condemnation of the zen philosophy deplorable. Bubbles knows herself better than all others, for two primary reasons:

1. She does not need to think about herself to know herself, her knowledge is intrinsic, and as such is the truest form of knowledge, and:
2. She is the sole perciever of her complete being. Whereas others may know her externally, only she knows the full truth of her being.

It is through her calmness and purposeful blankness of mind that she can truly understand her condition.

What you term naieveness is not naieveness, but an unwillingness to look farther than is needed. Her understanding of the world around her is most sublime simply because she knows better than to read too deeply into the people and events that transpire around her.

Tee-hee!
