<p>^Although I have my problems with the Brits, they have given me an education that was probably second to none at the time. For that I will be forever grateful. I suspect that is where my acid tongue, as my friends called it, originated. Mrs. Canuckguy thought I should have it retired because it is rather unbecoming. Her wish, of course, is my command.</p>
<p>Nick Bostroms paper is a confirmation why those in philosophies of science are the most impressive of all students in the humanities. A work combining philosophy, mathematics, and logic, imagine that.</p>
<p>Jurgen Schmidhubers article also dispels the theory that scientists can not do humanities. As I have said before, you can probably put a physics person in front of an English class in a pinch, but dont ever try to put an English person in front of a physics class, unless his name is CP Snow.</p>
<p>In spite of all that I have said above, those two pieces gave me an eerie feeling. The last time I felt that way occurred while I was reading the European Existentialists. When they tried to tell me that life is ultimately absurd, I gently put down the book, took a deep breath, got up and walked away. After all, if life is meaningless, what is the point of living?</p>
