Philosophy Referee Hand Signals
My favourites are “Naturalistic Fallacy” and “Q.E.D.” Hats off!
This is fucking hilarious: my notes from “Midterm #4” of my PHIL279 (Logic I) class from back in Fall 2008.
It’s hilarious because my brain is now melted, and laughter is all that seems appropriate.
How TIME magazine got Zuckered
Here’s a short, smart read by a prof of mine that I glimpsed a while back (when it was most relevant), but forgot to bookmark for later thinking. Beyond the Zuckerberg stuff, even, there are some great insights that I share with him about Western society’s current ideology, technology, and culture.
A highly recommended read for those beings with these (and not just these).
How does vision, for example, manage to banish the darkness and density of brute physical reality, opening before us a visible milieu and rendering the world available for further exploration and discovery? Perception, regarded in this deliberately naïve philosophical light, can seem like an ongoing mundane miracle; we take it for granted, yet it remains enigmatic.Taylor Carmen (in “Merleau-Ponty”)
What makes an Awesome day:
- Having a meeting with your Honours advisor that goes 300% better than planned.
- Drinks at the bar with classmates re: group project (with bonus surprise appearance by girlfriend and (boy)friend!)—that turns into ordering multiple pitchers and ultimately ordering Jack shots for all.
- Showing up to class noticeably late (oops) and noticeably tipsy—our prof soon becoming fully aware of our collective state of mind—but, nonetheless, having enlightening, intelligent discussion for a couple hours (with coy smirks throughout, no doubt).
- Going to the grad lounge on campus (WTF! this EXISTS!? with WILD ROSE ON TAP?!??!) and having snacks, drinks, and good talks with aforementioned bunch PLUS aforementioned professor!!
Yea, like I said, awesome day. I’ve said it before and I’ll stutter it again: University rules!
