Convenience is a degenerate philosophy. It softens men, weakens the spirit, and atrophies the will.
Effort and virtue are close bedfellows, and inasmuch as one argues in favor of convenience, he is a handmaiden of cultural and spiritual decay.

Every day of your life should be preparing you to survive, handle yourself and have a community of people around you who can work together for each other and thrive despite it all if one day it comes to this where you are.

Socrates raised the cup to his lips and very cheerfully and quietly drained it. Up to that time most of us had been able to restrain our tears fairly well, but when we watched him drinking and saw that he had drunk the poison, we could do so no longer, but in spite of myself my tears rolled down in floods, so that I wrapped my face in my cloak and wept for myself; for it was not for him that I wept, but for my own misfortune in being deprived of such a friend. Crito had got up and gone away even before I did, because he could not restrain his tears. But Apollodorus, who had been weeping all the time before, then wailed aloud in his grief and made us all break down, except Socrates himself. But he said, “What conduct is this, you strange men! I sent the women away chiefly for this very reason, that they might not behave in this absurd way; for I have heard that it is best to die in silence. Keep quiet and be brave.” Then we were ashamed and controlled our tears.

On a scale of 1-10, how well is she fooling God into thinking she's complying with His rules for her people?

To apprehend the ontological primacy of the Neapolitan archetype, one must first grapple with the concept of In-der-Welt-sein as it applies to culinary traditions. The Neapolitan form, with its unwavering adherence to time-honored methodologies and autochthonous constituents, represents not just a regional variation but the very archetype of pizza-being itself.

While it is veridical that pizza has undergone numerous adaptations in its global peregrination, these variations must be understood as inauthentic modes of being-pizza, deviations from, rather than ameliorations of, the authentic Sein represented by the Neapolitan form. One must conceive of these global variations as Verfallenheit from the authentic mode of pizza-being, representing a Seinsvergessenheit that obscures the true nature of pizza's Dasein.
Applying a monistic conception of being to our analysis, we can assert that true pizza-being is unitary, immutable, and indivisible. The Neapolitan pizza, in its purest form, embodies this ideal of singular, unchanging being. All other pizza styles, in their misguided attempts at variation and innovation, inadvertently plunge into the realm of non-being, creating a false dichotomy between being and non-being that violates the fundamental unity of true existence.

But can you even eat a Form?
Consuming Forms? Ontological solecism. Authentic pizza-being transcends mastication. Noetic apprehension, not deglutition, unveils aletheia. Canotto: vorhanden bridge to noumenal pizza-Dasein. "Eating" bespeaks das Man's inauthenticity, whilst true Form-engagement of hermeneutic circularity reveals Being's self-disclosure through pizza-ontology.

Having established the unassailable ontological primacy of the Neapolitan archetype, it becomes necessary to systematically deconstruct the pretenders to the pizza throne—styles that, while inexplicably popular in certain regions or cultures, ultimately fail to capture even a shadow of true pizza-being's essence. These deviations, masquerading as pizza, represent not diversity but a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of Being itself.
Consider, first, the case of the Chicago-derived deep-form pizza, a creation that exemplifies the dangers of straying too far from foundational principles in pursuit of misguided novelty. This dish, with its inverted structure and excessive depth, represents not an evolution of pizza but a fundamental perversion of the delicate balance between crust, sauce, and toppings that defines the authentic mode of pizza-being. It commits the cardinal sin of attempting to introduce non-being into the realm of true pizza-being, creating a monstrous hybrid that violates the principle of the unity and indivisibility of Being.

The contentious issue of tropical-fruit-adorned pizza serves as a stark illustration of the dangers inherent in unbridled culinary fusion and the absence of ontological principles. The addition of non-indigenous fruit, with no historical or cultural connection to the Mediterranean roots of pizza, represents not merely an unorthodox topping choice but a philosophical affront to the very concept of pizza as a harmonious reflection of its territorial Being-in-the-world. This ill-conceived combination violates the principle of the immutability of true Being, attempting to introduce foreign elements into the unified whole of authentic pizza-being.
The West Coast-derived eclectic style, with its emphasis on non-traditional toppings and fusion flavor profiles, epitomizes the postmodern deconstruction of culinary traditions, prioritizing novelty and individual expression over adherence to foundational ontological principles. This approach represents a form of culinary Seinsvergessenheit, where the true nature of pizza-being is forgotten in the pursuit of superficial innovation. The use of ingredients foreign to the pizza-being's essence may create flavorful flatbreads, but these creations exist in a separate ontological category from true pizza, lacking the essential characteristics and cultural resonance that define the authentic Neapolitan form.
