caught the back end of a philosophy club meeting last night. came in an hour late because i had maf class.

i don't know if the timing was just extremely bad on my part, but it sounded like a bunch of people who were all too eager for the world to come to an end.

seems that hopeless pessimism with no plan for making things better is the hallmark of the modern intellectual.

"it's not just the government, it's the economy. it's rampant and spiraling out of control" "yes, consumerism is getting to be a really big problem." "and there's nothing we can do about it."

i dunno, when one comes to a point in his life where he claims to be a philosopher but rejects the essence and absoluteness of logic, he would have no choice but to lose all hope and sense of being.
