Seems to be a slow news day today
Which is good. After all, the traditional Chinese curse is "May you live in interesting times".
So I'll take this opportunity to speak a little about why college is bad.
Basically, the problem here is that we don't have time to think. We have plenty of work to do (those who choose to do it rather than get high), but most of it is busywork or is of such a type that you can do it without gaining anything from it. Not enough challenge, so to speak. I learn more from talking with my friends on an average day than I do in class.
Yeah and the sex and drugs are out of control . . . I'm really not sure how people have time to get quite so many diseases as they do. I like to sit around and drink coffee when I have a free moment, maybe discuss Kant.
End rant.
