I enjoyed it to the moon and back. See, you CAN do something with a B.A. in Philosophy!

i'm sad i didn't read this earlier. now there's so much more i want to say. or better things i should have said.

also the other reason i always want to talk to you about the entopic phenomena is that they are experiences-of-meaning and experiences-of-yourself simultaneously... (i'm speaking cryptically because the internet is very public but i hope i'm making sense)

this is that guy:

i'm becoming free but i'm still cowardly with my emotions sometimes but i love you.

also-- now that i can think. --what's so infinite? the existence of humanity is that tiny dot on that history of the earth. and even the earth is going to be destroyed, eaten by that which feeds it, which as i've said before gives me hope.... if the earth were meant to last forever, then we would be sinning so deeply with our destruction of it that i couldn't possibly stand it, couldn't ever get in a car. but, no, it's going to be destroyed so i guess it's alright ( ... )

I opened up an entry to you that I wrote after you and Zeke went to bed that last night at the philoreunion.

(is it okay to feel better from taking medicine?)

Yes.

Is it, though? I mean specifically mood-altering drugs like Wellbutrin or Zoloft. Is it okay to alter our brain chemicals and our personality just for the sake of normalcy? Aren't we then denying ourselves?

Maybe not. But it still bothers me.

It can be argued that the normalcy isn't just a societal standard, but rather the normalcy your body should be experiencing if it weren't for whatever the hell it's currently doing to you. In that event, doesn't medicine just get you back to where you were originally intended to be?

That isn't to say that I don't think people are over over-medicated and use these things like crutches, but the answer to one extreme is never another one.
