This isn’t going anywhere in particular, its just an interesting idea. I worked this idea into a few government papers at the end of the semester, and I was reminded of it while reading this post by Bing, where he discusses the transient nature of language, and how writing something down ties it to [...]
Venting about Humanity
November 24, 2008
by pegleghippie
*sigh*
This semester has done a lot to make me better relate to my fellow humans. I’ve gotten to know people who think very much like I do, which is a nice validation for my sanity. I’ve also gotten to know people who think very differently from me, and I’ve come to really appreciate the [...]
Waking Life
November 14, 2008
by Pegleghippie
I have a new favorite movie. It’s called Waking Life, a 2001 film by Richard Linklater, and I’m a little jealous that it exists, because that means that I don’t get to be the creator of such an awesome piece of art.
Honestly, I was beaten at philosophy tonight. I didn’t know it was [...]
What I wrote for POMO
October 9, 2008
by pegleghippie.
I know it seems i don’t write anymore, but its just that I’ve been writing a shitload for school. Wednesday I wrote three papers. Yeah. Three. and they kicked ass. I write a small novel’s worth of material on a weekly basis.
Anyway, since I don’t have much time to blog, I thought I’d post [...]

But not tonight! Ok just a quickie, but i’m going to do a few different posts on post-modernism, and why you shouldn’t [...]
Burning Quick and Loving it
August 28, 2008
by pegleghippie
Classes are hard. And I mean harder than they’ve been in the past. All of my time has been devoted to class related activities for the last few days, and when I take a break to do something else, I fall behind. That’s right, its the first week and I’m already behind.
At the same time, [...]
Holy shit go see Wall-e right now
July 7, 2008

Know how cars sucked ass? Well Pixar is back in the game, motherfuckers. Wall-e totally owned.
Robot fiction, and truly human-like representations of AI are now decidely mainstream after the cute-but-fascinating portrayal of wall-e (The character) and his love interest Eve.
Eve rocked on her own, being completely empowered and multi-dimensional, rather than just being a damsel in distress.
And [...]
Quantifying Rationality
April 21, 2008
by pegleghippie
This post may be a bit all over the place, and It will definitely be on the heavy side, so strap in now or get out of the car.
Now I know that the motto for this blog is “building irrationality.” I’m going to do the opposite. Sorry Mekhami, sorry Teslanaut, but my purpose here [...]
