About a year ago I decided to read books for a living. And I've got to be the world's slowest reader. Not playing to my strengths, huh?
But I figured, fun as it was - wondering just how much more beer I could help my company to sell with my particularly insightful psychology of demand, wondering if my new formulation of the company motto and the shiny brochure design I'd made for the company was going to tip the profit and loss accounts at the end of the year - I decided, fuck this I'm going back to university.
When I left uni the last time, I really could have torched the fucker. An unhealthy mix of Leibniz (monadology my arse), Spinoza (far too many axioms for a non-mathematician), Nietzsche and his breathren (all students love him, it's just the way of things), and various other experiences specifically designed to destroy the nascent mind, and now, here I am, back in a cramped studenty room, ie, the very definition of a cube, with nothing more to keep me company than my computer, a library of CDs, and a bottle of semi-decent cab sauv, and I'm happier than the proverbial pig. I don't think Socrates ever had it this good.
This is the first time I've been happy for about 4 years. Just me and Foucault. I need help...
Anyway, I'm new. If you've stumbled across this, it was probably by accident, but I've hung some pictures up, bought a couple of plants and put on some fucking abrasive doom metal, so if you feel like hanging out, feel free.
I'm a philosophy guy so I'll pop up some of my efforts to add to the general egg-headery of human history. If you want to comment on them (if you can even be bothered to make it through them!) that would be appreciated. If you want to write my essays even, that would be even more appreciated as it's getting a hell of a lot tougher than the Ba.
I'll also put up some writing so, if you're feeling masochistic and wish to cringe at something, the choice is yours.
Other than that...
