senseless shit
I was flipping through "The Mind of God" just yesterday, (I meant to borrow the book from RJ, which he better lend me soon) when I saw this mega-interesting 2-liner. It kinda baffled me for a minute or two and so I began probing it verbally, hoping to get input from everybody else inside the room (we were at the uni house BTW) - they simply ignored me so I stopped trying to analyze it.
Here it is, not exact words, though:
Socrates: What Plato is about to say is false.
Plato: Socrates just told the truth.
Exactly, right?
I know it's probably part of the basics of logic and philosophy or whatever, but gosh - it’s just mind-boggling.
Anyway, whatever.
I remember RJ telling us that his Dad was trying to explain something really complex and all philosophical and everything, when his mom coolly shot, "You know what Ben, nobody really cares."
Hear, hear. Nobody really does, anyway.
So why bother?
(*note: this makes this entry completely useless - but it's MY blog, so who cares?)
