Okay, I was really unfair tonight. I won Monopoly on a forfeit against Greg, Jon, and Ashish.
Back to utility, back to usefulness... you know, utilitarianism is the best-sounding philosophy for which it's hard to puzzle out why it's not as good as it sounds. Well, actually, like I know shit about utilitarianism! Forget it.
The edges of my whitest frisbee are sharp and decaying. Sharply decaying. Well, actually, not really decaying!
I wonder how much the poorest of the poor think of philosophy and get driven crazy by nihilism. Apparently, not many. Are they lucky? Don't ever say they are. In fact, the best approach is to eschew luck from the discussion and contest that talking about people being lucky is pointless. Or is it? Now that's just being nihilistic!
Whatever; I haven't thought about philosophy for awhile, but I did when I read Hills's second-latest blog post. But my interest towards philosophical and religious discussions has greatly declined; unlike my friends I don't plan to ever take Intro to Philosophy. I was never much into peering into the great philosophers' writings or anything like that...
You know, when people say that your classes don't need to be entertaining, I never buy it. I guess the majority of college students compensate for academic boredom with intense partydom? Seriously. Sorry, but I go to ratemyprofessors.com every time, orient my schedule so that I'm awake during the classes (after what happened this semester, ugh), and submit reviews so that other people don't have to sit through mundanity (is that a word?). Also, if a class doesn't entertain me and I have to take it, well, I'ma make it entertain me. (Sorry if you think that word looks badly used, but I think it's a better emphasis than italics here and denotes the mood/tone better. SORRY I don't remember the difference between mood and tone!!!) People shouldn't relegate all their sociability to the non-academic world once they enter college, either. Er, better phrased, they should be more social in class. Class should not be a battlefield. That's what the tests are for. That's another thing that's annoyed me about college too. People might/probably think I'm showing off by participating so much, but I can only listen to the professor speak for so long without feeling like he's an alien and I'm a human. That's not being humane to the professor!
Well, you get the point. Also, use semicolons. They're pretty musical.
