Now... who wants to hear about my bad-ass MLS fantasy team!

Well put. He doesn't seem to have much of a clue what he's doing by the looks of it, and he'l makes strange switches just to prove that he's 'doing something'. I won't pretend that I've watched much of them this year, but I was flabbergasted that Lampard was left out against Napoli. Not to apologize for my previous post. Drogba is a shadow of what he was a few years ago, and Luiz can't defend worth a shit, but AVB had plenty of games from late last season to draw upon in figuring that out, yet he still just seems like a confused child.

Yup.

Pogrebnyak. 5 goals in first 3 games.

Green eyes is simple enough.

You should sign up to be Nick Zammuto's new sidekick.

Same with GGW t-shirts.

:clap:

If I recall, the whole thing began as a response to Ecclesiastes, and the trouble of leading an altruistic life with the understanding that life is temporary. 5 chapters later he determines that there is really no feasible form of survival worth having, but insists that a type of artificial survival can be found by contributing to the 'onward rush of humanity' through your actions. In response to what you said, Johnston acknowledges that my pleasures and pains are more immediate to myself than to yourself, but argues that this is still not a rational excuse for demanding more for ourselves than others by dint of the fact that, apart from that, the 'self' doesn't exist, and it is more valuable to participate in the interests of the remainder of society than to cling to the isolated desires of a finite being. He bites off chunks of all kinds of thinkers, so my summary is really very crude, but that's the jist.

*cries in bedroom while listening to dashboard confessional*

In this case I'm referring to the idea that there are no real individuals or selves(all is one;mono). Johnston's case was that, even if we could find a part or soul that constitutes who 'you' are, it wouldn't ethically justify our natural bias of caring for ourselves more than other people.

Can't see how this is a problem. Though I've heard the view that Descartes was wrong in positing 'I think', as the meditation only demonstrates that 'something' is thinking. For a class I had to read Mark Johnston's 'surviving death' where he questions the existence of the superlative self but mostly with appeal to Kant instead of eastern mysticism (this is good, because old boring europeans with wigs are by default better than asians with koans). It made me a bit more sympathetic to the whole monist idea, though not completely sold. :edit: wow, I wrote that whole thing and just noticed the 'only' in the quoted post. Don't I look stoopuid.

Went to a public donation booksale at the local church today and got: Simon & Garfunkel greatest hits Otis Redding sitting on the dock... Sinatra boxset LP of original Disney songs German drinking songs The Sound of Music Gregorian Chants A bunch of misc. Classical A 12 LP Beethoven Anthology (including every piano sonata, though I just released that some douche had taken out the LP that had both no. 8 and no. 14 on it :( ) all for exactly $3.00. :smug:

Odd question, when I don't see how he can prove it now.

Once seldom has the opportunity to meet fellow solipsists.

tl;dr (kidding)

did you impregnate it? practically...

k.k.k. It's completely contingent on the deterministic structures at play. The idea of observing people in a 'natural' state is a myth imho. You can't divorce people from their experiences, and I think evolution has dismissed the whole tabula rasa idea.

not sure if being intentionally obvious, but that was the joke.

can I get a definition pweese.

Creep. 15 times in a row.

Restless: 3/10 Really, Gus? It's Van Sant's attempt at a quirky indie romance, spewing predictable cliche after cliche until the 'dramatic' moments topple over themselves laughing. The depth of it could be summed up by any and every artsy high-schoolers tumblr page, as they spend much of it running through grassy fields in the latest hipster fashions. The 3 is for Mia Wasikowska, who, despite the film, is the cutest thing since sliced bread.

Hooray!
