Monday, May 03, 2010. I spend a substantial length of time wrestling with theological questions under the deluded impression that it makes me wiser to them when really it blinds me from taking the first steps in implementing the most elementary and necessary controls.

Floongville: A little dream I had a few nights ago that I thought was kinda funny.
http://floongville.blogspot.com/2009/05/little-dream-i-had-few-nights-ago-that.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. A little dream I had a few nights ago that I thought was kinda funny. So I was outside Richard Dawkins house in the middle of the night and attempting to get his attention by holding the intercom button down. Finally his voice came through. My name is Jacob." I replied, somehow inexplicably indignant that he did not recognize my voice. What do you want? I have something very important to tell you.". Go away. How did you find my house? That's hilarious. and true! My story web page.

Floongville: An Evolutionary (sic) Idea
http://floongville.blogspot.com/2009/10/evolutionary-sic-idea.html
Monday, October 12, 2009. An Evolutionary (sic) Idea. Since that conversation I have spent hours raking the net looking for proof of evolution. I know that it's impossible for me to convince the reader of the unbiased approach I took in doing this research however so that you can follow my thought process, I had decided that I would rather be fully convinced of evolution than unsure either way. And when history is limited shouldn't science only be used to present a hypothesis? One side should claim that ...

Floongville: Bertrand Russel
http://floongville.blogspot.com/2007/08/bertrand-russel.html
Friday, August 10, 2007. Philosophy is no longer the pillar of fire going before a few intrepid seekers after truth. It is rather an ambulance following in the wake of the struggle for existence and picking up the weak and wounded. Hmm, an articulate quote but do you agree. I would argue that it may have always been the latter. 1/ sometimes narcissistic (which is the proud, vain quest for knowledge for knowledges sake that if attained still leaves us unsatisfied) or. Perhaps. Are both for the weak? Sorry...

Floongville: Diapsalmata
http://floongville.blogspot.com/2007/08/diapsalmata.html
Friday, August 10, 2007. A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. My story web page.

Floongville: A Memory to Avert Evil?
http://floongville.blogspot.com/2009/01/know-then-that-there-is-nothing-more.html
Wednesday, January 07, 2009. A Memory to Avert Evil? Alyosha, a character in Dostoyevsky's. Brothers Karamazov', made this speech to a group of youngsters after the burial of their friend Ilyushechka. Been explicitly taught. And maybe experiencing this true independence stores away this memory so that in the future when things get tough, you can always look back and say "yes, I was good that day, bold and honest". Sometimes just the knowledge that at one point you were good, gives you the motivat...Im gl...

Floongville: Soft Paternalism
http://floongville.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-of-my-subjects-at-uni-this-semester.html
Thursday, August 13, 2009. One of my subjects at uni this semester (micro-economic theory and policy). Is dedicated to analyzing welfare changes and in particular converting the infamous 'util' measure (an ordinal measure of preferences). To a dollar value. This (to me anyway). Is extremely exciting stuff because now all of the theories about consumer behavior have some application. So is welfare to be measured on the conventional method of 'consumer knows best' or by a standard set by a governing body?

Floongville: Kierkegaard
http://floongville.blogspot.com/2008/03/kierkegaard.html
Friday, March 28, 2008. What is a poet? An unhappy man who conceals profound anguish in his heart, but whose lips are so fashioned that when sighs and groans pass over them they sound like beautiful music. What, I wonder, do these busy folks get done? Are they not to be classed with the woman who in her confusion about the house being on fire carried out the firetongs? What things of greater account, do you suppose, will they rescue from life's great conflagration? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
