[FlamingCobra]

the phone just rang. I answered it and I heard "Hello. The FBI-" and then I tried to put speakerphone on and the phone cut off. And this was the landline. I'm kind of scared.

I woke up very late today. I think leaving the curtains drawn open has something to do with it.

About the beer I mean

[Colonol Dekker]

I don't know what the number means

[Veers]

He has beer, that's the important thing.

Hey, 32's not a bad age. I was thinking you'd be around 50 given your posts.

I don't know what the number means

It is 2 to the power of 5. It's the same deal as that 213 you have by your post count. 2 to the power of 1 is 2. Any more numbers and it means doubling it. So it must be doubled 4 times: 2>4>8>16>32. Nuke is 32. So your 13 carries on as so: 64>128>256>512>1024 (that's me ) >2048>4096>8192.

I wasn't going to say it, but since you have, I thought pretty much the same thing and was quite shocked.

On a side note, that's how this forum's ranking system works.

[An4ximandros]

That's before the hangover

Long time no post - wonderful Modern Art History and Childhood Ethics classes are reducing my brain to a quibbling mass.

Was force to read two beautiful books: http://www.amazon.com/Trust-Process-Artists-Guide-Letting/dp/1570623570 and this http://www.amazon.com/The-Magic-Reality-Really-ebook/dp/B0078XFYDA/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1

The latter book was helpful because it puts Modern Art in a much more understandable context, nearly hit my head on a wall reading the other one... I dunno, the problem is Dawkins is forcing kids to view the world from an adult perspective, and I'm not the only one in the class who actually felt uncomfortable after finishing it: Have we really gone that low to deprive kids of their own imagination and devices?

If any of you have kids, the question I raise is do we force an adult perspective on them, or do we let them discover on their own? The problem is this book presents a very narrow definition, clothed in scientific sheepskin, of Scientism. Sure it looks cute and cuddly, but it almost has a propagandist tone.

There's one thing I hate, and that's propaganda.

Philosophy debates, scientific rambling aside and ideas aside... I really think Dawkins has lost it, and now I have to write an editorial paper... this is gonna be nasty. And I actually dug up a quick jab by the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jun/24/magic-reality-richard-dawkins-review

Its already established I don't like Dawkins... but after reading this crap, my personal conclusion he is a crazy 'ol bandicoot. We just need to make him a seat next to the flying spaghetti monster so these two myths can fly side by side.

Back to paper bashing. Edit: Going to start a drinking game after rereading this book.

[Lorric]

The former book was helpful

Fixed that for you.

Prompt supercritical.

Goods News: I wish I was fully drunk. Seven shots, in still typing with a little clumsiness.

Re-read the stupid book, drank several shots and even threw some old fashioned Egg Nog and a shot of whiskey. Dawkins is an idiot: Oh, look at all these myths I"M GONNA PROVE'EM ALL WRONG! SCIENCE BIATCHES! WOHOOO! I"M A POSTIVIST RELIC, HELL YEAH! Innocently, it's an easy explanation of science for families, not with a too subtle plug for a purely puerile physicalist POV that would even make Euclidean geometry attempt to resuscitate itself.

Christ, this drivel is going to make me a fully fledged bible thumper if it wasn't for the retarded cutesy illustrations. But on an artistic note, I'm insulted several times over. I think we need to start kids reading Mein Kampf too and a little Soviet Social Realism, eh?

POWER TO SCIENCE POLITBURO! TO THE GULAGS TO THOSE WHO REJECT POSITIVIST ABSOLUTISM!

Bah, when I'm done with this paper I seriously want to toilet paper my professor's office. The answer is I'm over overreacting, but actually for the first time I feel truly insulted as a rational human being. When we go after "Myths" and try to break them down into science? Ignorance is borne. First they come for our myths, then they went after our faeries, and then it'll be philosophy. XP

When I hit the last chapter of why "**** happens to us!" I'm probably going triple dip in the whiskey.

Edit: Eight shots nao, more coming, I intend to finish this dumb thing even if it means seeing pink elephants!
