Getting the Girl: TASP Style
Just a little something to get you in the Valentines spirit. Or whatever.
This is from the February 12th New Yorker, an article on these two married philosophers (named Pat and Paul, how quaint) and their work.
Enter Pat, age 25ish, unsuccessfully pursuing a Phd at Oxford.
"She was about to move back to Canada and do something else entirely...but meanwhile Paul Churchland had broken up with the girlfriend he'd had when they were undergraduates and determined to pursue her. He came over to Oxford for the summer...Paul had started thinking about how you might use philosophy of science to think about the mind, and he wooed Pat with his theories."
Take note, boys: flowers? charm? physical prowess? nay- the ladies dig philosophy.
You heard it here first.
Thank you and goodnight.

Snaps.
On a day like today, one has to wonder: "Where is the semi-monasticism?"
Oh, sounds like our factotum Sam, who goes to Oxford.
What is love? What is Valentines day? What is IS?

He goes to Oxford? He sounds like a most excellent chap. Do you know which is his college?
You know, Ryan, this is exactly why I decided to major in philosophy.
I mean, think of all those famous and HOTTTT female philosophers out there. Like, uhh, well... Patricia Churchland! And so many others I can't even begin to name them.

HELP blogger is all fucked up--I couldn't post with the old version, so I switched to the new version and guess what, I still can't post.
I think we need to upgrade the whole blog to the google version, or get a new blog.
this is messed up and I am not a fan
ewwww really? what to do what to do? we're all set as administrators, so please go ahead and change anything so we can post.
and WOOING WITH THE MIND... hehehehehe. excellent.
"A team blog will only switch to the new version of Blogger when the original owner moves his or her account over."
