An insight:

Today was boring, so here is what I write while taking notes during Philosophy:



Because of this, atoms themselves have no smell or color. We only perceive them to have these properties. They do have mass, volume, shape, order, position, and material.
Butterflies! I love butterflies! XD

Two premises:
1. Something cannot be converted into nothing
2. If a body-a compound, perhaps-were divisible without limit, it, which is something, could be turned into nothing.
Therefore a body cannot be infinitely divisible.
There must be an unlimited number of shapes associated with atoms. Human brain. Ha! Some of us don’t have a human brain!

Predictability in principal go along with determinism. PP means that, given enough information, we can predict anything. A sufficient intelligence that knew everything about every force and particle would be able to predict the future perfectly, whether it be tomorrow or three thousand years from now. Our choices have sufficient causes and are necessary results.
Cake vs. peach: the match o’doom.
What are the antecedents?
Concept of weight, the kind of meal you have in front of you, what you ate before, the historical period you’re in, etc., and all those antecedent conditions point to only one choice.

Libertarianism
We have free will. Hurrah.

1. Do people have introspective evidence of free will? (Because external events cannot be trusted, evidence of free will must be gleaned from the mind. Objects of introspection include memories, emotions, and sensations. Does the content of the mind imply free will? Investigation of the mind-does it reveal the evidence needed to prove free will in support of libertarianism?)
Experiment about this, next time in Philosophy Class: the Revenge.
Neeeeeext up:
Socrates

The man gives several definitions of piety:
1. Prosecuting those who commit injustice. (like Zeus putting Kronos in chains)
i. Socrates rejects this by saying it does not include all that is pious, such as respect, giving to the poor, etc. (Generalization)
2. What is loved by the gods is pious and what is not loved by them is not pious.
i.Different gods like and hate the same thing. (Clarity)
3. What all the gods love is pious.
i.“Is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or is the pious pious because it is loved by the gods?” Juniper. Juniper. Juuuuniper. Juuuuuuuuniper. Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuniper. The lack of love of the gods does not automatically make something impious. BON BON BO BO BON. (Essentiality condition-gorillas can laugh, too. Man, that lunch at that zoo in Tenerife was expensive.)
Moving on!
There’s a leaf on my cheek which refuses to pay its income taxes. The IRS has come to arrest it, but they say that by association I am guilty as well. I would rather pay my love for her beautiful chrysanthemums, but I am weak and I shall instead climb a tree and rescue the Antarctic.
I am an illogic. Illogic is the manner by which humans are lived. I am a rocky trokyu. What is a trokyu? A random assortment of letters; for example, “trokyu” is a trokyu.
4. The pious as a whole is just.

Parmenides denies here is diversity or charge, just one eternal thing. Empedocles thinks there is change and permanence. Pythagoras comes along and says the basic nature of reality is mathematical. Heraclitus says that there is only change and everything is in a constant state of becoming. Pocahontas! The Sophists say that there is no way to figure it all out and that there is no ethical constant. This one merits an explanation. The professor gave, as an example, "An example is a river. You can't step in the same water twice. The water is always changing, always flowing." That is what he said word for word. Google "Just Around the Riverbend," because everyone was all confused when I started singing it.

Action! According to Aristotle! The New Perilous Journey to the Center of Man’s Ego and Self-Importance!

Characteristics of the Object of Deliberation (of Science!)

It's a pity I have Internet access during my other classes, otherwise I'd be writing down random stuff about history and Spanish literature as well.
