Is shock journalism giving Britain cancer?
Monday, 8 February, 2010
Impact is mercifully free of shock journalism, retaining a common sense for which I can only be thankful, but all too often our most influential and widely followed news sources resort to scare tactics in order to compete with their rivals. |
University politics: why you should care
Monday, 8 February, 2010
A few months ago, in the bygone days of Semester One, I got word from a couple of independent sources that certain actions by the University could be seen, from one perspective at least, as elitist and to the detriment of students and student groups. I and a couple of friends therefore went on a little investigation to see if we could find whether there was any truth in this, or not. At the very least, we wanted to ascertain what was happening and why. |
My Quest for True Love
Monday, 8 February, 2010
When I’m bored, or procrastinating or insomnious or waiting for the kettle to boil, the cookies to bake or the Yorkshires to rise, I often let my mind wander and ponder the philosophical questions to which I will never be able to come up with a rational answer which I can be certain is accurate. Think of Amelie -- at the beginning of the film by the same name -- her fleeting mind trying to fathom just how many people in Paris are experiencing an orgasm in that very moment. |

Monday, 8 February, 2010

It is officially Spring, the best season of all! Let the Sexperts tell you why that is... 1. Valentine's Day |

Puzzle corner
Monday, 8 February, 2010
“Conversational learning occurs within two distinct but interconnected temporal dimensions; linear time and cyclical time. The discursive process is guided by linear time, whereas the recursive process follows a rhythm of cyclical time. The discursive process is an epistemological manifestation of individuals’ ideas and experiences that are made explicit in conversations... |
Love: a mental illness
Monday, 8 February, 2010
Matt Groening and Nietzsche don’t have a great deal in common, other than being the originators of my favourite quotes on love (see boxes). As they pointed out, love can cause incredible suffering, and robs people of their rationality (indeed it’s been described as a mental illness; sufferers exhibit brain patterns similar to those seen in drug addiction and obsessive compulsive disorder). How could something so destructive persist for so long, when, for example, bower birds manage perfectly well under the Warren Beatty school of drive-by shagging? |
