Ok im done with the Holographic Universe and now I need more. Does not have to be about the concept of the holographic universe though. Anything that involves Metaphysics or any branch of philosophy is fine. Go easy on me though because The Holographic Universe is the first book ive read in freagin years(besides technical computer books mehhh!

good question

i agree with him on being... what it means to be

i find the verb to be uniquely particular especially in its English declension

Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on May-22-2009 00:44:

I read Heidegger in a few semesters. Basic Writings and Poetry, Language, Thought. Some of his stuff is interesting to me and other parts are just entirely baffling...

Posted by Zild on May-22-2009 00:45:

plus the fact he influenced a lot of my other favorites like derrida, sartre, focault, etc...

So why did you drop out? From your remarks in this thread it seems like you don't think philosophy to be entirely worthless.

Posted by Zild on May-22-2009 01:11:

ahh well i love philosophy i just can't stand being surrounded by those people

and i never ever went to class i just read the books and got pretty damn good marks, so i felt i was wasting time and money. You know like in Good Will Hunting.

"See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in 50 years you're gonna staht doin some thinkin on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certaintees in life. One, don't do that. And Two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a fuckin education you coulda got for a dollah fifty in late chahges at the public library."

Having completed my degree I sort of feel that way as well, although I don't think my education would have been as disciplined or as comprehensive if I had used only a library.

i also didn't like taking all of my classes in building with crank windows and peeling paint sometimes with broken a/c and then on the way to my next class walking by a multi million dollar science lab
