Working on the tiny blueprint of the angle. Sketching out the burning autumn leaves.

Personally, I'm too interested in a good life to become an academic philosopher. This is in part due to my lack of the necessary faith in the profession. I might be able to bring myself to teach ethics or logic, the two fields of any relevance left in the discipline (philosophy of the mind/language/etc. are redundant at best and parasitic at worst

Good luck with your interview!

Personally, I'm too interested in a good life to become an academic philosopher, and It's not that no one can flourish as an academic; it's that I can't flourish as one. My thought must be independent of my livelihood and free of the petty, yet tempting, ambitions of the position climbing scholar. I'm much more interested in enlightenment are statements that give me such joy one cannot fathom it.

While most of us want to be unique, it's nice not to be alone, especially when one is one-of-how-many philosophy students who does not particularly want to be a professor? Thanks! Next year I will also be seeking gainful employment (before returning to grad school and/or the Peace Corps, neither [really] involving philosophy).

My memories of the NE? Ah yes. I remember it well. In the summer my sack was stuck to my leg as if it was superglued there. The winter was bitterly cold. Fall was BEAUTIFUL!!! Spring was lack-luster. Governor was gay. Being blue did not help the overall mentality of the state. If you make it to New Jersey, take a day-time stroll through a swamp and see the numerous "Jersey Devil" sculptures made out of animal bones. ewww. Some Jersey girls still have big hair. Most have big boobs (real or otherwise).

We should road-trip it to Red Bank and buy comics from people that have appeared in Kevin Smith movies.
