words of the weekend:
Ontology: 1 : a branch of metaphysics concerned with the nature and relations of being. 2 : a particular theory about the nature of being or the kinds of existents
Epistemology : the study or a theory of the nature and grounds of knowledge especially with reference to its limits and validity.
I forgot what the debate was less than halfway into it. the search for definitions required too much of my brain that evening. still, it was fun. :D
How can I prove that I am here and that this life is real? does it matter? if this is all i can experience i might as well make the most of it instead of being concerned too heavily with metaphysics. on the other hand...it's far too interesting a thing not to ask...
in other news, i managed to lock my car keys in the car for the first time in some years (last time was at a gas station in Muscoda on the way to work). DPS came to my rescue.
One more week and I'll be back in DP for thanksgiving break. mayhap i shall catch some of you folks then.
p.s. i think i behaved apropriately friday, yes?
