Or is this a clever ruse?
Can I force the owls into a Hegelian dialectic? Oh, I think I can.
“O RLY?” is thesis.
“YA RLY” is antithesis.
“NO WAI!!!” is synthesis.
The first two elements are opposites, and the third is the resolution of those opposites. The first owl doubts the veracity of something. The other owl confirms that something is the truth. Then, the final statement combines the question and opposing answer into the third bird’s incredulous agreement. Rhetorical contradictions for the win!
Also, note the synthesis of color markings in the birds: white, brown speckled, and white speckled. Excellent.
