I'm a philosophy student that tends to post about really serious things unseriously and about really unserious things seriously.

I was once described as a "beautiful, intelligent iguana".

WHOA when we’re both less busy can you tell me more about it? sounds like a thing i might read over my winter break or somethin’ :3

Totally. I did find the book though, and I’ll give you the link, just in case you want to check it out/bookmark it/store it away somewhere in your brain.

I started reading it when I got into my complexity class, but then got swamped with too much reading and had to stop. Ugh. It was looking so good though.

Here’s a link to it: http://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Bound-Disorder-Contemporary-Literature/dp/0801497019

UGH FUCK I wish I could help but I have to read 30 pages of Lefebvre, 25ish pages of Perry Anderson, an then lesson plan WHOOPS

Haha, no worries. I wasn’t really asking for help anyway. I would have been very surprised if anyone had actually replied and said “Yes. Please. Let me do your work for you”.

[That sounds like a lot of work though. I’m exhausted just looking at what you typed.]

I’ll probably end up posting the essay on here anyway because narcissism. That, and the fact complexity science is super awesome.

Which reminds me, I’ve got this book that I need to read (can’t remember the title), and which I think you’d like, that charts the recent history of studying complexity and non-linearity in “the sciences” and in “the humanities” and argues that the shift was due more to cultural causes than any deep grounding in “Truth”, especially considering that both ‘turns’ happened at nearly the same historical moment. Super interesting stuff.

find a font where size 12 is smaller

Yup. Got that one covered too. I guess I really just have to actually edit something.

Ugh. Life is hard.

make the font smaller

I thought about doing that. But then the essay prompt said explicitly “12-point font”. It had specific margin requirements too. What a fascist.
