    Interesting enough that you'd be willing to elaborate?  Because now i'm curious.

    The wager is there to get us out of the seemingly impossible contradictions and mysteries of earthly life. The wager lets us get out of the radical contingency of human life and into Christian life.

    The categorical imperative is a road to morality based on reason, rather than the old proofs of God's divine will. Ultimately, we have to rely on our rational autonomy rather than old received dogmatic truths. The Critique of Pure Reason has shown that we can't have the knowledge we want, but the Critique of Practical Reason shows us we can still have the moral lives we need.

    The golden orb weaver was actually the least surprising thing for me on that list, since i was quite aware of them and their tendency to kill large prey.

    (i knew cats can chase bears and i had seen the photo of the elephant torturing the lizard before, but those are still weird to me)

    Thanks, Myr.

    i knew that about Kant... i'm not sure i understand the part about Pascal, perhaps due to a lack of context.

    My dreams exceed my real life
    The light dove cleaving in free flight the thin air, whose resistance it feels, might imagine that her movements would be far more free and rapid in airless space. Just in the same way did Plato, abandoning the world of sense because of the narrow limits it sets to the understanding, venture upon the wings of ideas beyond it, into the void space of pure intellect. He did not reflect that he made no real progress by all his efforts; for he met with no resistance which might serve him for a support, as it were, whereon to rest, and on which he might apply his powers, in order to let the intellect acquire momentum for its progress.

    Why, oh why can't I?

    Wizard of Oz is a Kantian movie you see

    Pascal apparently believed that we see too much evidence of God to deny Him, and too little to be certain.

    i feel like this is a necessarily pre-Darwinian assertion.

    That passage of Kant is quite poetic.

    And astute.

    Also Eurocentric, but that's nothing new.

    Pascal, i mean, not the Kant quote.

    The Pensees is still worth reading, if only for how well-written it is.

    Noted.

    i have rather a long reading list at the moment... i should like to make it a project to read more philosophy stuffs, but it's finding the time amidst other, more pressing priorities.

    (Also i haven't forgotten that i promised to read The King's Shadow within the next 5 years.)

    I bought a Trogdor the Burninator poster for my little little brother, and an Amazing Spiderman  poster for my little brother.

    Also me and my other brother chipped in for a soccer videogame for both of them.

    Crystal has just pointed out a snag pertaining to Bookersted-Centralia relations.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Is this site lagging massively for anyone else, or is my connection just incredibly crappy rn?

  • Mystia is such an unimportant character why is "Deaf To All But The Song" so fucking wreck.

    no joke, i think they did an ok job there

    no attempted trolling is taking place here
  • I didn't actually realize what it was at first.

    Most Homestuck music is somewhere on the spectrum of "ehh" to "eh, it's alright" for me.

    I still like "Adventure of The Lovestruck Tomboy" miles better than "Heir Conditioning" though.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Fair enough.
  • ofc I have myself become pretty good at working samples into tracks relatively seamlessly, so I suppose I cannot complain.

    The one I am working on right now, as an example, samples
    Spoiler:

    • "Flava in Ya Ear (Remix)" by Craig Mack
    • "You'll Be In The Air" by The Microphones
    • "Justified & Ancient Seems A Long Time Ago" by The KLF
    • "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" by The Postal Service (that violin bit at the end I'm so fond of chopping up)
    • "via Chicago" by Wilco
    • the Microsoft Windows 95 Startup Tone by Brian Eno
    • "No Place Like Home For The Holidays" by The Carpenters
    • and "The Taut & Tame" by Tortoise
    of course as the production process goes on, I will probably add new samples, or mix some of them out, but still, I am oddly proud of my ability to stack samples on top of each other.
