Because Jody doesn't like un-updated journals, so, like jemma before me, here is some good old journal bashing.

First of all, we have a totally awesome excerpt from the book i'm reading. This is what you've all been waiting for, i can tell. And Yes, it features Peter Singer tearing the shit out of Adam Smith and his 200-year-old-piece-of-shit ( Read more... )

I am happy, Tom. Right now. I couldn't be happier. Thank goodness for this post! Something to entertain me.

Also, at first I was like "Great, Tom, and extract! Just what I want in a post!" (complete with sarcasm) because normally I don't quite understand half of the stuff you post about...

But I got this one, and I actually giggled after the part about Now comes the punchline of all this:
Thanks, Tom. For posting something which sounded smart, but yet I could understand.

Moral of the Story: Update more often.

(PS John Howard had huge eyebrows even way back when he had hair upon his head...)

I'm glad you enjoyed it jody. the thing about peter singer is he's writing is really easy to read, while he conveys relatively complex concepts. He doesn't confound his writing just to sound like a philosopher, if you know what i mean. Much like Alain de Botton, also.

haha tom you see, peter singer WOULD tear the shit out of the wealth of nations, cause he's a humanitarian like the rest of you bums! (haha ok so i got a bit over zealous there.)

just thought i'd let you know livejournal is for emos, blogger is the new cool.

dude, come back to journal. share your wisdom with the old-school journal. Serious, blogger is just the same faeces, but with a slightly more pleasant odour.

oh wow! i just read that uni email about Peter Singer and i was contemplating that lecture..
except it is on the 28th of March and that is the date of Jarvis right?
also that signature is far superior to anything Sarah B would have done, really.

well, the Singer lecture is during the day, at lunch in fact, so it could possibly be the greatest day ever - Singer by day, a singer by night.

Yeah. I'm pretty proud of that one. It took me a whole 3 seconds to think up.
