TeeVee Party/Casualty
I love television, and am hopelessly addicted to it. It’s been this way for a long time. Sitcoms, procedurals, sci-fi, dramas, it’s all good. I’ve even been known to delve into the darkness that is VH1 reality. Regardless, it’s Monday so this is how things normally progress.

The title of this article is “RNC health insurance plan covers abortions”
I’m trying to write a presentation on Plotinus where I explicate on the subject in its relation to time and eternity and I’ve spent the bulk of my night attempting to explain how this subject exists as a soul in the intellect, as soul contemplating the intelligibles, as a soul inhabiting the...
An article I found, USA USA! →
So you, as a citizen, want to run for a seat in the House of Representatives? Well, you may be too late. Back in 1990, according to OpenSecrets.org, a website of the Center for Responsive Politics, the average cost of a winning campaign for the House was $407,556. Pocket change for your average citizen. But that was so twentieth century. The average cost for winning a House seat in 2008: almost...

Žižek writes, “As a rule, neuroscientists avoid two things like a vampire avoids garlic: any links to European metaphysics, political engagement, and reflection upon the social conditions which gave rise to their science.”
If there’s one thing that I think philosophers should sit up and learn from cognitive science, it’s that philosophies of the subject will not necessarily...

alligatortower:
Dependence on things is not independence. The child who does not need to be told that it is time to go to school has come under the control of more subtle, and more useful, stimuli. The child who has learned what to say and how to behave in getting along with other people is under the control of social contingencies. People who get along together well under the mild contingencies...

Anarchy
The cops started hucking teargas at the anarchists already. Apparently they didn’t get a permit for their march. Which makes a lot of sense, why would a group of anarchists get a permit?
Although, wouldn’t being internally consistent somewhat defeat the whole principle of anarchy?
Maybe the true anarchists are the moderates, the people who vote democrat one year, and republican the next. No,...
