It's time for our annual discussion on the futility of philosophy in university

That's just because you know I'm right.

What a load of ****ing bollocks.

She writes poetry as well (now there's a surprise).

“Like a borning calf sliding in ****-ooze,/ he imagines, homunculated feminine/ capacity for endless more.”

One reviewer of her second poetry book says:

Alongside the carrot peelings and burst vacuum bags of daily life, slower processes tell stories about lifetimes, with shifting shorelines and rock formations charting longer silences and repeated visits to episodes long past. Giving equal reverence to the geologic structures and strata of household mess, During stands apart both for its precise language and imagery, and for its sustained, subtle telling of a life in progress

I also see that she is an eco-hippy who says of herself “I am blessed with one of the richest lives of anyone I know”

Newton wrote about metaphysics and religion. There might also be personal letters expressing some of his moral ideas.

The abstract still smells of bull****. In the end though she could have a point if she discussed the failure of modernist rationality to account for ethical principles, and focused on the necessity to define ethics through practical action (architecture for instance).

Defining ethics....through architecture? How is that in any way practical(or even possible)?

[Fake Boris]

Architecture (especially wrt to urban planning) does a great deal to shape your daily life. What monuments societies put efforts into building also tells a lot about their values...

[Barnabas]

If I recall correctly Newton also wrote some bat**** crazy articles on religion, saying that the Trinity was wrong and that Jesus would return around 2400 and something

Newton had too much mercury in his diet.

[chequita guevara]

Or not enough.

[Kitschum]

No, no, the mercury only slowed him down. It was the phlogistons that made him wacky.

It seriously is not possible,

F'n art's majors.
