Psychophysical Dualism. I started bringing my laptop to class and Tuesday I took notes on this already. Descartes three argument for it. Now I am sitting in philosophy class again with a terrible hangover listening to the same thing??? Bullshit. I have a printout from my notes last week sitting in front of me. The same slides from Tuesday are still on the overhead. At least 5 people have brought up completely useless arguments or questions. Why...why me...the worst part is he is STILL talking about it.
Note to self: stop drinking and spending money on Wednesday nights.
I'm going home and going to bed.

quotes from spring break
Somehow we all made it back alive...
Taking off my wristband to give to Nathan as I'm trying to get some sleep..
Tyler: “Ashley, why is your hand so fat?”
As we are giving him a hard time about being little.
Aaron: “But I have a big heart so fuck you!”
Skeptical about taking vodka shot because it supposedly makes him throw up...
Me: “Do you have a vagina?”
Aaron: “Do you have a dick?”
Tyler: “I need a massaG.”
Me: “You mean a massage.”
Tyler: “Ya, whatever..I don't speak French.”
Bobby: “406? Ashley Davis? Shrooms?”

more Socrates...have I exhausted the subject yet?
Yes, I am working on the study guide yet again...
So people refer to it as Socratic Irony. I never really stopped to think about exactly what this means before. So irony, when refering to Socrates is using of words to convey a meaning that is opposite of its literal meaning. Dictionary.com defines Socratic Irony as "pretended ignorance in a discussion."
This means that Socrates admits his own ignorance and willingness to learn and in doing so, ends up exposing someone else's inconsistencies by close questioning.
Genius. He gives people the impression that he knows nothing which in turn boosts their self confidence (they think they know something.)
Socrates was supposedly told by an Oracle that he was the wisest man in the world. Maybe this is mythical bullshit but nevertheless, I think the statement in itself it is true. What makes Socrates so incredible is that he was fully conscious and aware of the scope of his wisdom AND also knew the extent of his own ignorance.

Anaximander and Heraclitus
I'm studying for my philosophy midterm (blah blah explaining theories and how they progressed and criticize eachother etc.) Kinda frusterating me because I don't like philosophy as an academic subject (although obviously as you can see from my other posts that I love it in general.) So yes, I am being a nerd thoroughly enjoying the occasional witty or profound quote.
"From what source things arise, to that they return of necessity when they are destroyed; for they suffer punishment and make reparation to one another for their injustice according to the order of time."
Basically, Anaximander's dark quote is saying that we are disturbing the purity of being (whoa), and must pay for this with death. Pessimistic, yes, but an interesting view point about our existence.
"Eternity is a child playing."
"The most beautiful cosmos is a heap of sand poured out at random."
I need to make a collection somewhere ha.
