Life Updatez

So, what's happening in my life? Well, I just finished my dissertation; handed it in today. It's pretty... It's pretty okay. To echo sentiments I have heard from more than one other student, I expected a lot, and ended up with not so much. I hoped for a grand unified argument about The Dualism of Practical Reason, about how our practical reasons are incommensurable leading to a fundamental indeterminacy about what an agent "ought to" do when his self interest conflicts with moral demands, and all this kind of stuff, but I ended up with a small collection of barely related arguments leading to a "Well, we just don't know" conclusion. Still, arsetastic as that makes it sound, I'm still pretty happy with it; it has its moments. Like... Everything I say is more or less good, but it doesn't lead anywhere exciting. I was considering linking to it here somehow, but I'd have to work out... How to host it. Hm.

I and James also managed to (almost definitely) finally organise some accommodation for next year, which is good. I'm not entirely clear on when we're moving in and all that, but he, and maybe I, are moving some stuff in today. To that end, I've been cleaning my room, for the first time in a year, so as to pack up all my stuff for the move. It was in so doing that I found, amongst my class notes, a comic, which I suspect was meant to illustrate how the standards for what counts as knowledge may change in a high-stakes situation. I found it amusing, so I copied it. Here it is:

Hilarious, innit? No? Yeah, it probably looked better on paper. I really need to get a tablet or scanner or something. Eh, probably not worth it.
