“I sometimes despair of getting any thing quite simple and honest done in this world by the help of men. They would have to be passed through a powerful press first, to squeeze their old notions out of them, so that they would not soon get upon their legs again, and then there would be some one in the company with a maggot in his head, hatched from an egg deposited there nobody knows when, for not even fire kills these things, and you would have lost your labor.” Walden
by Henry D. Thoreau
Originally from Colorado, I am now a student in the Florida State University Philosophy PhD program.
My interests are various, and this blog will likely reflect many of them: philosophy, science and politics; my thoughts and comments on the relationship between the above; my responses to the views of others on the above; my thoughts on films and books; snarky and bitchy comments on just about anything.
I don’t know what they have to say,
it makes no difference anyway -
whatever it is, I’m against it!
No matter what it is or who commenced it,
I’m against it!Your proposition may be good,
but let’s have one thing understood -
whatever it is, I’m against it!
And even when you’ve changed it or condensed it,
I’m against it!I’m opposed to it.
On general principles I’m opposed to it. [*]
This blog is my place to polemicize. There are plenty of place to take a measured, reasonable, academic tone and few spaces to be wholly unreasonable. This blog is my space to be unreasonable.
But the real reason for this blog is to give me an excuse to procrastinate. I’m in grad school, after all, and I should be reading right now.
