1)i just began reading william james' pragmatism. i have never read a philosophy or system that i have really adopted; i always just take bits and pieces. what i read tonight gave me some good words&classifications to help describe

bikes are amazing.

[yuval]

This all sounds really awesome.

Bicycles are great. I need to put together a bike for myself. I'll talk to you about that later.

Capoeira is amazing stuff. How much are classes? Where are you taking them?

And finally, playing music. That is great too.

I hope to see a lot more of you when I shift myself over to Boston next semester, because you're a dude that I'd like to hang out with a lot.

you asked for a comment

1) only you can combine eloquence about philosophy, and end it with "i am pumped." reebok love for pragmatism brotherrrr.
2) moving past irony is the new irony, and please explain why irony is one of the most difficult things to explain not only in feeling and outlook, but in general. also, i want one page on this so-called general amazement with all things of existence.
3) another extreme! my brain is mostly physically/psychologically incapable of utilizing the sphere that allows one to comprehend scientific theories. if i think of science only as theory i'm fine, as soon as numbers become involved i start reverting back to rhyming poetry.
4) a) i'd like to live with a shon b) as long as my job riding bikes did not involve me needing to bike next to people c) errrrrrr, i can do a penny roll d) classes schmasses, on with sculpture! e) i will sing you gosepl music.
5) "expatiate" triple word score! i can do 5 consecutive cartwheels down the length of my room.

you should tell me about einstein!

You have effective articulation. That is, there's an effect! (ahahahah) do you think we should hang out this weekend? Bob d.'s job forced him to ditch me. Thus, I have nothing planned. Have we considered the possibility of doubling up in your current place?
Please give examples of how Pragmatism has given you words and classifications to describe your methods.
Please explain the irony idea. I've nowhere to begin with understanding it.
Lastly, is the Einstein book up to date? I think many of his ideas were later disproved or modified. sk.

-we definitely should. do you have any means?
-doubling up would be feasible (and cheap!). although space would be tight. we can discuss that more if we hang out.
-the pragmatic method (of equating the truthfulness of ideas with their practical value in life) is something i have done for a while now without ever really calling it anything or even thinking much of it. reading this book has caused me to consider it more closely. also, it is always comforting to read somebody else's words confirming something you already do.
-i will save the irony explanation for when we talk in person or on the phone or something. i will have an easier time with it in a two-way, conversational setting.
-the book was originally published in 1983 and then re-released in 1991. it is, then, at least somewhat recent. i would like to borrow a brief history of time from you, if possible, to continue my treatment of the subject.

.I can probably swing a ride to Merrimack on Friday. From there, who knows? The things I need to consider is how much school/RA work I have and that I would like to visit my uncle's (where I'll be living next semester), particularly to check out the car he's giving to me.
.Walking to country life today I tried tapping out four beats for every five steps I took. I think I had it for a while. If I visit we can include, among our adventures, walking around and making different rhythms.
