On the last episode of Book Club I kind of got sidetracked into talking about the mental process of interpreting the book rather than the actual interpretation. Book 3 is pretty interesting, at least in my opinion, and seems to mostly focus on the idea of, capital-E Education. People who know me know that IContinue reading “Book Club: Plato’s Republic Book 3”

My Favorite Movies: Data Analysis
You know those types of people that keep a weird number of lists? Like, for some reason they just keep lists of all the beers they’ve tasted or all the National Parks they’ve been to, all the books they’ve read, or every country they’ve taken a shower in. I am one of those lists people.Continue reading “My Favorite Movies: Data Analysis”
Book Club: Plato’s Republic: The Loyalty Issue
Usually I use this blog to take notes, citing exact lines to comment on and what not. When I read book 3 however, I was on a car ride so this post will be a little different. I think I mostly want to go over how I approach those parts of the book, and anythingContinue reading “Book Club: Plato’s Republic: The Loyalty Issue”
Random Thoughts: 4/8/2021
Just a reminder, I don’t plan these out or edit them, except for this reminder I guess. Damn, its been a long time. I think I’ve written in this blog twice in the last 6 months or so. The crazy thing is, the last thing I posted actually talked about a new strategy I wasContinue reading “Random Thoughts: 4/8/2021”
Random Thoughts Oct. 23: It’s Been a While
How long has it been since I’ve written in this blog? A few months probably, idk. Moving to a new state seems like it should be a good excuse but to be honesty I’ve still had alot of free time so to say I’ve been too busy feels like lying. Whatever the case may be,Continue reading “Random Thoughts Oct. 23: It’s Been a While”
Book Club: Plato’s Republic: Book 3: Part 1/?
There was a months long gap between books 1 & 2 and now only a 3 day, I think, gap between 2 & 3. I guess I can skip the standard preliminaries but I am trying today to make paragraphs using periods to indent. WordPress deletes spaces I use to try and indent So I’llContinue reading “Book Club: Plato’s Republic: Book 3: Part 1/?”
Book Club: Plato’s Republic: Book 2
It’s been a long while since I did one of these. I finished book 1 and never started book 2. Just as a recap I’ll remind my millions and millions of readers that all I’m doing is reading Plato’s Republic and using this blog to take notes. Every section has a number, IDK why theContinue reading “Book Club: Plato’s Republic: Book 2”
Only In America: “Interesting Times”
Oh my God! Kanye West is hilariously the most American MoFo in this race. Every thing America is, with all her faults and fascinations. Its out of nowhere. It never seems to make any sense. Its completely cultural. Its dynamic and polarizing. It might be horrible. Could it actually be great? Its dumb in alotContinue reading “Only In America: “Interesting Times””
One Red Dot: Redefining Trivial
I wrote this a couple years ago during an intro to poetry class. I’d often write down stuff during classes, due to boredom mostly. I wrote it in just one draft over like 10 minutes and I’ll transcribe it just that way. If there’s a spelling error I’ll leave it and believe me there areContinue reading “One Red Dot: Redefining Trivial”
Random Thoughts: May 17
I’m in charge of my life. Nobody is gonna control me. I’ll listen, respect, learn, apply, and live but don’t think I will ever agree with something for the sole reason that it has been said by someone I respect. People say shit all the time that they know nothing about. None of us, includingContinue reading “Random Thoughts: May 17”
