So I went to another one of those philosophy lecture things last night. The guy doing it is this professor that retired, and has been teaching here for like 300 years or something. Anyway, I didn’t think much of the lecture. The philosophy is basic and simple, like all philosophy as far as I know, and doesn’t actually help with anything. However, they were talking about how it’s good to have an involved philosopher, which I think is good. If you’re going to be a philosopher you had better run for office and volunteer and stuff too.
I think philosophers should start trying to figure out what to do if specific events unfold in the future. Like, if we achieve a life span of 1,000 years, or meet aliens, or time travel, or whatever. That would be way more interesting.
I’m going to a science colloquium today. It will be cooler I suspect.
8’s been doing tons of directing stuff lately, and her computer is kinda broken, and the internet isn’t working so well at her place, so that’s why she’s not been updating much. She and the rest of her directing class have been picking actors for their big scenes. Apparently that takes about 24 hours of work for 80 odd people. 1920 man hours. Kinda weird when you think of things like that huh.
I have to write an ethics paper in my computer science class. Apparently the computer science major requires ethics in every class to be certified by the big organization or whatever. It’s got like a hypocratic oath for programmers. 😛 It’s silly. Kinda lame though. I mean, I’ve got work in other classes, and my homework in comp sci has been my fun homework at the end of the day type homework, but now the homework in comp sci is going to be the worst of all.
Two tests next week, that I know of. No yoga today. She never comes. Today some old people are throwing her a party I guess.
8 is leaving this weekend.
Class was supposed to start 3 minutes ago, but only 2 other students are here, and the professor is still missing. Oh, here they are. I guess I’ll learn about not hacking now.
