Reductio Absurdum.
Please tell me what to do this weekend: (I have too many options).
Please choose A or B (but not both- an exclusive disjunction!)
Friday:
A. Eat dinner with Laura, Jack, David at 9. Starve because eating dinner at 9 is far too late, but get to hang out with the group which you haven't done in a long time.
B. Cancel and eat dinner with Adam. Make questionable pad thai... and maybe force him to go get ice cream afterwards.
Please choose C or D (or both? a material implication?)
Saturday
C. Do homework all day. Get ahold of foil and other supplies. Then go to Post-Apocalyptic Party-- (somehow, because you don't have a ride, and you refuse to beg.)
D. Do homework all day. Go to philosophy party. Possibly drink in front of graduate students, which is always awkward,and philosophize on the grounds of possible existenz.
Please choose E (assume the variable... it's all we can do)
E. Do logic problem set. Drink lots and lots of coffee. Watch Alias when finished and thank God that it will all soon be over.
