philosophy.
can I just take a break from studying to say how much I just can't get behind the field of philosophy?


My reading just said this: "According to R. Todd Engstrom of Cornell's Laboratory of Ornithology, the world population of common ravens is something like half a million. More troublesome is the number of nonblack things. It is astronomical."

Is it possible to say that statement with a straight face? This is in reference to trying to prove that "all ravens are black" by proving that "all nonblack things are nonravens."

Why would you go about doing this.

It actually gets better. that was the original statement where I was like, I sort of want to get out my computer and immortalize this sentence, but I really should just keep reading for my exam tomorrow. But then I came upon this gem, trying to prove that All Loch Ness monsters are green.

"Imagine going around and assigning a number to every nongreen thing in the world. Non green thing #42,990,276 is a blue lawn elf. Is it a non-Loch Ness monster? Yes! It supports the hypothesis..."

Blue lawn elfs, nonravens. One more and I'm done...
