---> http://www.cracked.com/blog/i-watch-glenn-becks-comedy-tour-regret-it/ <--- I'd urge anyone who comes across this on facebook to go directly to my blog page at http://www.whatwouldrobertoeliasdo.blogspot.com/ Considering how hard I fail at computers it's probably gonna look horrible on Facebook. There's no guarantees that it will look good on the original website either though... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Longtime readings of my poorly structured ramblings may remember my post entitled "Reflections on Free will" which was essentially my position paper, minus 'academic erudition'. Well, like I said it does my head in. So I spent quite some time in every lecture doodling in my notebook. What follows is an incoherent transcript; a descent into madness.
The beginning of my love affair with Philosophy - A tap dancing turtle. It is compelled to tapdance. It is un-free.
Ok so that little box with the eye and the kite? It's my representation of Qualia. Qualia is essentially subjective experience - no one can experience the world quite the same way as you because their neurological pathways are built differently. Soon after this, my thoughts drifted to Mastodon.
This one's easy - It was my turn to 'lead discussion' in my tutorial session. I must have said something that wasn't very clever. What happened next was this - one of my classmates (who happens to have a big forehead and bad attitude) started making statements that made defending my position very difficult. I repaid him in kind when it was his turn :)
That's a lime. The lime below it is Sublime, get it? Hur hur hur.
'Potato frog' isn't just inane ramblings; In one of the lecture slides a guy is pulling up a potato tuber and it's shaped like a frog. It was a photoshop. I'm not convinced it was related to the topic under discussion (social justice, and John Locke's 'original position' theory).'The Jeet Kun Do' political system refers to a constantly changing system which adapts according to the needs of it's people. I think it was another of John Locke's ideas...
And that circle says 'circular reasoning' in it. It's a philosophical term; a polite way of saying "Your argument is an ouroborus of bullshit."
"Why did god create the universe?"
"For the Lulz."
As good an explanation as I've ever heard.
One of the last topics we dealt with was emotion, and love...If you've ever seen Top Gun, in the bit where Goose dies his jet gets caught in a slipstream or something, and his jet goes into a flatspin. That's kinda how I felt...
This slide speaks for itself. Topic - Emotions and love.And yes, that is a Forrest Gump quote.
Hasta Luego.
