someone posted a link to infowars in the ports thread.
while a rediculously paranoid site, there are a lot of photos from what seems to be military exercizes based around containment of american citizens. I looked through most of them a couple days ago. according to the site it said some of the exercizes were held in oakland.... anyone heard bout this? I dismissed the photos at first, but reading this shit makes me think differently. If they are planning on large scale detention centers, then it seems perfectly viable that they are running excersizes to desentize troops to seeing fellow americans in situations such as that.

dead and amet- great as always

Really what I found interesting about that post was the deep-rooted and perverse racial drive behind it.
was just thinking about that. I wonder how the conversation between the two to decide to do this went.

Family friend has an amazing set up of the three panels in his house. I love just staring at it and seeing all the small detail he put into it.

Who's that Japanese/Korean artist that does all the really bizzare shit with ladies ripping their eyes out and whatnot?
I would like to find this out too, shit's intense.

I try to go to the Rothko Chapel as much as I can when I'm at home. It's amazing.
I have always really dug H R Giger. Dude was nuts. The sketches he did along with a lot of his more off beat biomechanical sculpture stuff, amazing.
For a long time I couldn't get into this one permanent gallery in houston of a guy named Cy Twombli, but over the last couple years I have really come to enjoy his large color panel work.
Chuck Close, if you dont know who he is. Find out.
dude used brushes with one hair on them...

I see what you guys are saying, and believe me I've given a considerable amount of thought to the way this is gonna impact the near and far future. And it really isn't that big of a difference of what I was already planning. Grad school and then probably teaching afterwards. I'm ok with the idea of doing that. However, should I not go to grad school or pursue some other higher education. I have a couple other ideas that I can fall back upon. Anywho, Thanks for yall's input. It is interesting to hear what people have to think of the choice.
Xero- I definitely understand that philosophy doesnt really yeild progress. Again, I'm cool with that. I just wanna think. And who honestly is to say that we can't help refine techniques in normal science through examination of method and discourse from a philosophical perspective. I think reflection upon Structure alone shows that one can help streamline the scientific process through a philosophical means.
It wasn't a particularly easy idea to accept. I have been studying physics for so long, and I will always keep it as an academic interest. Just not the central one.

Xeroshoes- It's not a copout. Its a decision long in the making. Over the last year or so I have been moving more in the direction of philosophy. I realized I was always more concerned with the questions of philosophy but looked at those questions through the perspective of physics. Believe me, I whole heartedly believe in an intrinsic connection between philosophy and science. I just have really gotten into the philosophy of science. I think that the problems I had on the test were more so a reflection of that choice. I understood the concepts on the test. I got back to my apt. and did like two problems that were on the test, just for some reason couldnt translate it to the test while I was taking it. Call it an awkward moment of clarity if you will. Either way, I will always be concerned with issues of science and its relation to truth.

In an unexpected twist of fate as I stared blankely at my electrodynamics exam tonight, I realized that I'd much rather study philosophy... Awesome...
So... I'm gonna have to completely restructure the next two years of my study... Almost two decades of knowing what I want to do only to have the manifestation of doubt come through in the form of not remember how to apply shit of the concepts I have been learning. I was able to do the work for the last couple weeks, but come test time... noooo. I guess that is also evident of the fact that I haven't been required to take a test in the last two years but have written an intense amount.
I still wanna focus on physics and mathematics but purely the philosophy of such I suppose... hmmm odd night.
edit for continuity in capitalization...

^Symbols- I was at a lecture last year about the limits of knowledge and this professor was using very simple logical proofs to elucidate his idea to the group, but this one girl kept attacking the validity of his method. While seemingly disjointed from the current conversation... What you were saying about asian languages preparing people better...right on. The girl couldn't concieve of one of his figures because she was so stuck on the meaning of it. I have been thinking about the problem of logic in english vs. other languages for a bit now. I think the difference lies in the implications of the language. Ideographic languages such as japanese use singular symbols(ha) to convey whole concepts while english is forced into a reductionist circle because of the nature of our language is expressed visually. Singular symbols put together in different configurations to express singular uncontextualized concepts.
I have a meeting to go to about drinking... so ill finish this when i come back... but yeah, there are a couple people on this board im really interested in discussing this stuff in depth with.

Ive got a test in my electrodynamics class tomorrow. Between that and my advanced calc class, I
have about as much math as I can handle in my life right now. I spent an hour today listening to a
professor derive the prime gradient of a normal vector to a cloud of charge exhibiting dipolar
behavior yada yada yada. Only to find out (four pages of notes later) that I can treat the entire
situation like a surface charge distribution issue (much easier). The only reprieve I have from
this life of math is philosophy of science classes... this semester is intense...

why not rage? a piece on your back seems like a perfectly good idea...
