Philosophy

I went back into his office to ask permission to switch from one course to another. “Which courses?” he said indifferently. “I’m meant to be reading Foucault, but I want to do a course on Derrida.” “Man” he replied “that’s like going from horseshit to bullshit.”Well, I feel better about never getting around to Foucault and Derrida. Not that it

The meaning of life , if any, is like a river with many tributaries in which you may find yourself floating towards. Each bifurcation may lead you onto a different path from the one you expected.

In the end, all the paths or tributaries lead to the same place: Death.

LOL

yep LOL hilarious, even moreso after the cut..

so the truth is in pavlov's dog, an itch we just can't (stop) scratching.. brilliant

philosophers and most intellectuals were snidely regarded to as shit disturbers and in the u.s. most of them have become republicans. only thy have no thinking ability, they simply repeat some evangelist interpretation they heard their friend say. 42? i thought it was 23. or 11:11, maybe that adds up to 42...

; )))

maybe philosophy and psychology is the modern mythology? in which case we know everything we need to know except for experience.. yeah?

Well, I wouldn't be too dismissive. I'm sure that these academics, at the very least, are very good on knowing the canon and the arguments that have been made. They know their Kants and Aristotles and Wittgensteins forward and backward. They tend to be very smart guys. It's just that they don't know what it is all about any more than we do.
