1. It pays well to be a doomsayer.
2. The Aristotle quote sent a chill down my spine. That’s really the only sentence you need to read in this blog post.
3. How could the word “epistemology” not appear at least once?
4. I chuckle that we are still engaged in silly debates about the downfall of modernism.

I’ve been on Bactrim before. Bakktrim. Good metal band name.
“Two LL Beans?” He says. “WE-IRD.” Pause. “The Best Water Bottle…”
The doctor said, “I’m fine with you having one drink.” Wuh-oh. “But in five days you’ll be ready for the holidays.”

I have a terrible case of senioritis. Work life is filled with The Last ________s. Perhaps these Last ________s are occurring in relation to the senioritis. The emotions hold when there are still assignments to complete.
During my actual senioritis, referring to the second batch in the late 90s, I made decisions like Fukkit I don’t care if I’m one more credit away from a French major...

ONE Today I took my dog to the vet. The vet that put him on Prozac. “Can’t we start with something, you know, herbal?” I asked. “Oh no,” she insisted. “We start with the big guns.”
TWO That was several months ago. The last time I tried to refill his prescription, FIRST NAME GEORGE, LAST NAME MY NAME, the office said, nope, bloodwork first. So we made the...

I’m still not sure about breaking the pseudonymity. That said it *has* been fun discovering new folks. Smart ones.

YES YES YES X 100000 Please allow me to ply you with wine at your convenience.

GLUTEN-FREE LIVING
About a year ago, I went to see a nutritionist to complain about my first-world problems. She recommended a “trial” anti-inflammatory diet. Take a couple of weeks, see how you feel, etc.
I scoffed at the time. May 2010. What headspace was I in? I can’t recall. (Ultimately I ended up seeing a doctor, getting some bloodwork, realizing my Vitamin D levels were low, and beefing up...

– Edge of Sports (via thinkingaboutinformation)
False: Lebron James *is* our collective future. To hate one is to face the other, and, in doing so, hate it. To argue that we need to focus on the “real” problems is a modernist fool’s errand.
