General Philosophy

[raven]

OMG. jacinthsong, I will never doubt you again ever. Not that I was in the habit of it, but still, you were right! Morison and Pooley are love. They are. They are omgsocute-and-slashy-adorable LOVE. It must be said.

I was half-asleep - actually, entire asleep - all the way through Macro at Schools, and the lecturer, who had a peculiar American (or maybe Italian?) accent that I couldn't quite understand, and was very boring in addition, went on for ten minutes over time and was driving everyone mad. I looked up at the end to meet Pat's eyes and say, simultaenously, "Most boring lecture ever." And it really was. And I was all ready to go back to sleep through General Philosophy, especially as the lectures go through all eight topics whilst the college is only doing four. This one was about the nature of knowledge, which was actually a very interesting lecture, but it would have been much less interesting if the lecturers hadn't been slash incarnate. Morison has a thing about using Pooley in all his examples, no matter what they are, and then they sit and exchange glances when they can't remember what they were going to say, and omgslash. I have a feeling I may make an effort to go to all my General Philosophy lectures this term.

(Is it wrong to mentally slash lecturers? I'm hoping not. Also, "morison/pooley" was already a listed interest on LJ. Life amuses me.)

In other news, I need to tweak a French Fourth Republic essay, again, and then I have a philosophy class from five to seven. I think that's just evil, especially as it means I miss dinner and will have to look elsewhere for food. Sigh. But, back in the good news, I found the original DW Short Trips book in Oxfam and bought it for the princely sum of £2.49! (The people behind the counter looked rather worried at my expression of pure joy.) So far it has Four building a model railway, so I reckon I'm going to like it.

Bah, twas me and Emma that began the Morisson/Pooley squee! We loved them first!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

GLEEE. They are brains in vats, bless them!

[foulds.livejournal.com]

They are brain vat love.

Morison believes he loves Pooley
Morison is justified in believing he loves Pooley
It is true that Morison loves Pooley

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

And, in the later amendment, there is a causal connection between Morison loving Pooley and his believing that he loves Pooley.

(I am beginning to think I should make this entry friends-only! *g*)

And even if we subscribe to Bonjour's externalist model of knowledge, they still love each other, as there is no reason at all ever for them to have reasonable doubt.

3 things in this world are indubitable, and cannot be doubted, even in light of scepticism;

I exist
I am aware of my present experience
Morison/Pooley are love (see picture)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

AMEN. I shall herefore take up solipsism safe in the knowledge that Morison and Pooley will be love regardless.

I read French Fourth Republic as French Fourth Reptile.

Um. That's pretty much all I had to contribute...

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Writing about the downfall of that would be much easier. :)

Hey, are you going to Docsoc this evening? I do want to go to their meetings this term, and the idea of relaxing over TCI is looking very appealing after the last couple of days, but am all nervous about just turning up because I am Like That.

I'm planning to go, if I get out of General Philosophy in time. It's at eight at Holywell, and the class finishes at seven, so I should make it. Do come, it will be fun. *g*

This is the cutest entry EV4R!!1 And the comments. OMG. Slashing lecturers is awesome.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Heee. *loves* They are awesome.

I hadn't heard of either of them before the lectures, but omgyes I so agree, also that was the best lecture ever, so interesting and fun and funny! But the macro was so awful I felt sorry for the lecturer, it was like it was his first lecture ever and he sucked. Also, you sat right in front of me, I have come to the conclusion that you don't want people to know you know me, either that or I am invisible.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Macro was evil, Morison and Pooley were love. We are agreed. :)

Katia! I am so, so sorry! You know I am. I am also sleepy and clueless, pretty much all the time. Whack me on the head with a BIG STICK.

[gwynnega]

Hee, I love this lecturer slashing business!

And yay for Short Trips on sale!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*giggle* They shouldn't be so damn slashy if they don't want to be slashed, is my reasoning. :)

I shall scrutinise its pages for Four/Romana II, trust me. *g*

[jeeshee.livejournal.com]

I was in the Morison lecture. He lectured us at Bryanston, I think, and he was a dude then, too. Definitely love! <3

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Definitely, definitely, love. :)

[foreverdirt.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I barely have time to cope with all my own lectures, let alone random Philosophy ones, but dude, so very jealous of your slashy lecturers.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*g* Know the feeling. But they are such love I feel everyone should have slashy lecturers to brighten their day. :)

[lottie-doyle.livejournal.com]

arg! good work with the Short Trips- they are so hard to come by and are so expenisive on Amazon or ebay or whatever.... heh heh, i was always asleep in lectures.... usually snoring in counterpoint with the lecturer

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Hee, I was really lucky. It's the first one, too, and I never thought I'd find that one!

[elyim.livejournal.com]

I don't think it can possibly be wrong; I mean, what do they expect, with such slashy behaviour? They positively encourage it. I was mentally slashing teachers before I knew what slash was, and still do now.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

And these two, they really do. Such love. :)
