In Response To: Re: Halo and Philosophy book soon? (Cody Miller)


: Ehhhh as a student of philosophy myself, books like these tend to make me
: cringe. I'm sure it'll be an entertaining read, but other books by the
: publisher have been very light on real meaningful philosophical insight. I
: mean, the Matrix and Philosophy was particularly funny since the Wachowski
: brothers themselves didn't even remotely understand Baudrillard (he even
: said so), so many of the philosophical underpinnings are themselves
: misunderstandings of Simulacra and Simulation. I read the Simpsons and
: Philosophy because I like the Simpsons, and to claim that Bart embodies
: Nietzsche's Übermensch is just patently absurd.

: If he was still taking submissions, I would have written a real paper. The
: topics appear to be pretty soft-pop philosophy stuff.

: Books like this can be pretty fun, and I'd probably read it, but it's not
: real philosophy by any stretch.

My essay was denied. It was called "Master Chief the vegan: If he had to eat a Grunt in order to save the life of a human would he?" Rejected. Can't understand why.

That shit was deep.

If only there were TWO Cody Millers and the other one submitted a piece. Then this book might be worth reading:)

I once broke up a fight between two friends who didn't get along at all. We pick up the conversation halfway:

Friend #1: And what do you do for a living?
Friend #2: I'm a roofer. You?
Friend #1: I'm a philosophy major.
Friend #2: Well, while you're thinking about stuff I'm outside in the hot sun making sure people have a roof over their heads you pretentious prick.
Frined #1: And while you're on that roof I'm thinking about how lucky you are to be doing that job.

It wasn't pretty. I never invited them to the same party ever again.
