RE: Philosophy for Geeks, part 1

in #philosophy5 years ago

This seems like some random thoughts put together but I don't think they are that random. It really sounds like some philosophy book for geeks :) Oh, I loved that one about food and table. Everything is about a perspective, right? I think I would be the mathematician :)

Thank you for sharing and have a great day!

That is a true story. That is, it is true that my high-school trigonometry teacher told it to us back in the late 70s.

Random thoughts. Yes and no. I wonder if anything is truly random; at the same time, they were thoughts that came to me on consecutive days. Until I started actually dating the entries, I used the ultra-sophisticated method of indicating a new day's entry by starting a new paragraph. Pretty advanced organizational strategy, don't you think?

My near-OCD demand for precision puts me much closer to the mathematician than I am to the engineer, but I'm working on lightening up. There is room for both attitudes, and knowing when to lean into one or the other is important. Would that I were able.

Thank you for reading, and thank--more--for commenting.
