I’ve been holding off on discussing R. Carnap for a while partly because it’s tough to know where to start and even more difficult is where to end. This guy was amazing. A giant in 20th Century philosophy. I studied him a bit in undergrad in my epistemology course. At ASU I’m taking a full […]
Read More Meet My New Friend R. Carnap: Part 1 of 3Ok, guys, I’m going to discuss one of the main areas of 20th Century philosophy, Epistemology, the study of knowledge. Don’t be scared, I’m going to do my best to break terms down so this little exposition doesn’t sound too technical/boring. Before we get all academic in this beezy, lets take a quick look at […]

Read More Health and Nutrition Part 3: SleepThis entry will be about what to eat and how to exercise Ok, I don’t want to get carried away with this topic. I chose it last week because I’d promised myself I’d write. I was tired and it required the least amount of thought. On the other hand I don’t want to leave a bunch […]

Read More Tuesday January 26 2010: AnecdotesThe vacation is over! This afternoon I took a flight from Berlin to Munich. The first show of the last leg of the tour starts in Munich tomorrow. It’s a good thing I’m going back to work, I was starting to get used to the illusion of a life without a job: wake up late, […]
