Passion and Sin | Parentheses
https://jgibbs.wordpress.com/2009/04/04/passion-and-sin
8220;ad se ipsum” (to himself). April 4, 2009. Posted by caesar in Kierkegaard. The following is a quote from Kierkegaard, except not really. It’s from “Either/Or” which was ‘edited’ by Victor Eremita, and he (the editor) claims to have found this manuscript. Thus, Kierkegaard’s pseudonym (Victor) does not even claim to have written it, so in a way it’s 2 steps removed from Kierkegaard. Anyway, on to the quote. No comments yet — be the first.

Games and Life 1 – Don’t Tilt | Parentheses
https://jgibbs.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/games-and-life-1-dont-tilt
8220;ad se ipsum” (to himself). Games and Life 1 – Don’t Tilt. January 21, 2013. Posted by caesar in Games and Life. Of the points I am planning on talking about in this series are not particularly earth-shattering or unique to Magic, but it is the direction from which I plan to approach them. Since I have not really written for a little while, I am going to start off with a relatively simple topic (and also since this introduction has dragged out).

Drive for truth | Parentheses
https://jgibbs.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/drive-for-truth
8220;ad se ipsum” (to himself). May 5, 2009. Posted by caesar in Kierkegaard. It has been quite a while since I made a new post here, but my excuse is that school has been really busy. I don’t really have anything earth-shattering (although that’s probably true every time I post), but I thought I would put this quote up that I ran across while feeling a bit of nostalgia for one of the few things I have read. 8211; I would humble fall down at his left hand and say: Father, give!

Unique? | Parentheses
https://jgibbs.wordpress.com/2009/06/30/unique
8220;ad se ipsum” (to himself). June 30, 2009. Posted by caesar in Philosophy. Many people like to think that they are unique and that there is (or was) nobody like them anywhere (or at anytime). The truth, however, is that people are a fairly homogeneous group, and that nobody is really extremely unique, or most likely, all that unique at all. Every emotion you’ve ever experienced? Most everybody else has experienced it as well. The degree to which you’ve experienced it? 1 jsumner - July 9, 2009. 8220;L...

The blasé attitude | Parentheses
https://jgibbs.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/the-blase-attitude
8220;ad se ipsum” (to himself). March 27, 2009. Posted by caesar in Economics. For money expresses all qualitative differences of things in terms of ‘how much? 8217; Money, with all its colorlessness and indifference, becomes the common denominator of all values; irreparably it hollows out the core of things, their individuality, their specific value, and their incomparability. All things float with equal specific gravity in the constantly moving stream of money. June 28, 2013. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Pascal’s Wager | Parentheses
https://jgibbs.wordpress.com/2009/04/10/pascals-wager
8220;ad se ipsum” (to himself). April 10, 2009. Posted by caesar in Christianity. While I was at work today, for some reason, I started thinking about Pascal’s Wager, and I realized how it is used sometimes for absolutely bizarre reasons. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, Pascal’s Wager is a concept formulated by Pascal, a French philosopher, that essentially goes like this: if (since? I don’t know about you, but to me, that is the opposite of simply ‘what do you have to lose? 8217; If, in...
