Flop, turn, river, AWAY!

Unbelievable

I have such a hard time thinking that people would actually vote for someone who has got to be one of the most disgusting people in human history - it's just too much, I don't think words can express the gut-wrenching repulsion to him, not when the record is so clear.

Light his soul must be more twisted than Ephialtes body.

You there, Obamanation - may you live forever.

Change is in the air

Well chaps it looks like our Father above has got some new plans in store for me this chapter, as well as my sugar-muffin-of-honey-oats-and-banana-cupcake-of-love. This more or less boils down to me beginning school next year in preparation for going into ministry in academia which God is calling me into by several different means.

All that to say, wish me well.

Imminent Demise

I've been doing a lot of vector art recently, so I wanted to get away from that for a while and create something freehand; something that had a more rough-around-the-edges look and feel.

The above print is the result, and the background alone represents about 2 hours worth of work (never again). This print in particular is very detailed, so as usual, click to see the full-size, high resolution version.

Verificationism

I just wanted to move this hopeful discussion from Angel's blog to mine so as to generate some content in this desert among other things.

Basically Ruthie wants to say that only things like the hard sciences are objective and that everything else (philosophy, ethics, etc.) is subjective.

Now I've got a problem with this because it sounds like something out of A.J. Ayer and his "Language, Truth, and Logic" with its direct promotion of Logical Positivism. The problem I see with affirming something like that is that Verificationism is dead - mainly because it's self refuting, for instance by saying that all that you can know to be objectively true is what you can observe by the five senses would put you in the rather odd position of not being able to verify that statement itself with the five senses in which case you couldn't know that it was true.

But you also wanted to throw mathematics in with the hard sciences (I suppose those are what you're referring to by 'science' and not the humanities for instance) and I'd have a problem with that as well since I lean towards being a Fictionalist with respect to mathematics and not a Platonist, that is I don't see mathematical discourse as being ontologically committing - but we can leave that one out if you want and just stick to that first point, it seems to be more important anyway - what will you bring?

All in

Pirate kings are kings too.
