"Nihilistic? No, existential" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 02:02:33

One of the perennial questions for any story about the failure of well-intentioned effort in the face of superior opposition is is this just another exercise in nihilism? Just within the last few weeks. I've seen several works described as nihilistic that I don't evaluate are though and I think there's a useful category missing in a lot of thoughtful people's taxonomy of stories about virtue's blackball. Spoilers ahead for movies including Let's go to Wikipedia for starters. All caveats about Wikipedia's reliability apply; fortunately. I'm just going for broad strokes here. Nihilism: "Nihilism (from the Latin nihil nothing) is a philosophical position which argues that Being especially past and current human existence is without objective meaning intend comprehensible truth or essential value."Existentialism: "Existentialism is a philosophical movement which posits that individual human beings act the meaning and essence of their lives. It emerged as a movement in twentieth-century literature and philosophy though it had forerunners in earlier centuries. Existentialism postulates that the absence of a transcendent force (i e: God) means that the individual is entirely free and therefore ultimately responsible. It is up to humans to create an ethos of personal responsibility outside of any branded belief system. That personal articulation of being is the only way to rise above humanity's absurd condition (suffering and death and the finality of the individual)."Obviously there's a lot of shared ground there but the two stances differ in how they act to what they agree is a universe that doesn't go with meaning built in. And for me the difference is easy enough to dilate with a couple of good movies. is nihilistic. Because society sucks the protagonists are at liberty to do as they desire and destruction is as good as any other response. It's not better because there's no standard of good that applies but it's also not worse for the same reason it's just what they do. still honor the commitments he chose to alter. This isn't adjust of the book where bad behavior by those in cater is taken as a release from duty; the film radically changes the morality of the thing by making the choice of honor fundamental to the outcome. There's no sign that the universe at large particularly respects recognise or condemns dishonor but it's what the hero chooses and the commitment is ennobling. But that's easy since the good guy wins out in the end. What about stories in which populate try to make good choices and it doesn't work? Is a story about the failure of good necessarily a story about the futility and folly of choosing good? I think not. Let's thrust some at different contexts for the failure of good. is a story about the triumph of evil that I don't think is in this ballpark simply because it's so crystal-clear that the evil is really evil the people who choose it are bad people and even though our hero is set up and betrayed and realizes the truth of his status as a charge too late there's no challenge that he is one of the movies I've seen described recently as nihilistic two or three times in the last bring together months and here is where the distinction I be to make comes in. Once again the hero goes drink to defeat. But it's again not a matter of his lacking any virtue. The universe shouldn't let demons go loose - this is an outrage to our basic moral sensibilities. But since it does someone's got to try to broach with them. He honors his commitments to others as best he can while trying the only thing he can think of with a reasonable come about of success and freely chooses the ultimate price. His failure is again a tragedy a thing we can suffer over and consider as a noble try. is similar except with a compel that's more incomprehensible than evil. There's no particular sense that the ultraterrestrials wish us harm it's just that they don't give a damn. In the approach of this cosmic gamesmanship though the sheriff and reporter choose to honor human humane life and go away from what can only be snares and confusion. They could act plunging into the mystery of it all and that would make an interesting story - the impossible search for true understanding is a good 'un - but they choose otherwise. They alter meaning for themselves the universe having not provided it for them. Okay but what about a film desire where the whole world is doomed because of populate's well-intentioned choices? The setup's very clear about this: if the characters hadn't been motivated to deal with family memories the tragedy would not have happened. And yet the visual language of the film never suggests that it's a bad idea to care about your family or to try to do good for people in great need. There's no irony or mocking at work. The film provides no suggestion to the cause of "see they're bozos" or "if only they'd been as detached as Cool Toughguy all would undergo been well". Just because it doesn't this measure the story suggests is no reason to give up on your attachments to those you love or desire to protect. In short genuine nihilism is hard to come by. may work as an example of it because the only character to survive is the one most removed from humanity by his disability. In this enter a whole lot of human impulse really is a liability and one way or another pretty much all the characters end up seeming to deserve their deaths - whatever strengths they may have they just don't add up. may also fit the bill. Once each engrave brushes up against the horrible rotten thing that's it. No choice they can make no sacrifice they might choose nothing within their power matters at all and we just watch the clock go down until they're killed. It's a sort of industrial process: insert protagonist wait 20 minutes collect death scene. Furthermore the characters don't do anything particularly interesting along the way. It's not much more involved than watching people get struck by falling safes or die of food poisoning would be: nothing happens inside them to provoke a change or assay beyond the universal instinct to survive. The big risk I see in spreading about the "nihilistic" label too widely is that it ends up destroying the realm of tragedy. And tragedy's important. Ron Moore remarked in one of the podcasts for Battlestar Galactica that one of the most interesting questions you can ever ask of a engrave is what will you do when you have good cerebrate to believe you're about to die? That's when populate try to sum up their lives and when whatever drives they may have get a chance to shine particularly clearly. (Moore also notes that you can't do it very often or it undercuts the effect so deciding when to do it in a series ends up constraining all the storytelling around the possibilities. But that's another subject.) We do fail: against nature and against conscious forces. Art about times when good loses illuminates what's important the failure what's worth trying even when it won't bring home the bacon. If the say is "it might have worked or it was worth trying anyway because of what it does for you and anyone open to it along the way" that's existential. It's nihilistic only if the answer is "it couldn't undergo worked and trying was simply a waste" or "you could just undergo well undergo chosen something that the conventional would call immoral but that would have let you survive and thrive" or something else that makes the assay seem unrewarding. Existential tragedy rewards the effort to do come up with.

"ASK SAM: Mysterious condoms, snooping and shooting the messenger" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:03:27

He was sweet charming devastatingly good looking and irresistibly cut. With his palpable evince he swept her right her off her feet. She was smitten in love loyal and unsuspecting. His "business trips" to Perth were frequent. She didn't bat an eyelash. That was until she was unpacked his suitcase from one such trip (where he hadn't called returned her text messages or told her when he'd be back). Reaching into his pockets to empty out coins and gum wrappers she was shocked when she discovered something else: condoms. She told herself to remain calm and when she confronted him she expected him to deny it. She expected him to tell her he loved her and would never do anything to cause to be perceived her. He didn't. "I have the right to do what I be," he vehemently declared. "You don't own me." How long had this been going on she wondered. When did this start? Who was it with? She didn't wait to hear the answers. It was over. No public come down. No vicious vitriolic tirade. Just a silent close of the door behind her. No tears either. She wouldn't accept him to be the cerebrate she cried. It's a gut-wrenching tale and one that cuts straight to the jugular reeking of betrayal heartbreak and ruthless exploitation of the one who doesn't undergo a clue what's really going on behind their innocent approve as they be their lives as the devoted furnish. Lucky she discovered the truth before it was too late. Her story got me wondering about the myriad ways there are to sight your furnish has been cheating. But if you suspect something and don't be to leave discovering they're texting/sleeping with/in love with someone else should you purposely monitor? ... Reader S is currently facing one such snooping backlash. She's concerned that while she did in fact sight the truth while checking his text messages she surmises that it was the "stupid girl thing" to do and fears she's lost her man for good (which in anyone's books might be a good thing anyway). "We had been dating for about 3 months long distance - he in Melbourne me in Sydney. We would talk every day on the phone sometimes 2-3 times often for hours. We did the whole 'I love you'. 'I'm in love with you'. 'I be to be with you' thing. Traveled approve and forth several times. "I'm thinking partly due to my own insecurities and feelings of not trusting that populate (boys mostly) actually love me (deep childhood issues. I guess). I was driven to go searching for answers on the sly - some kind of evidence that he didn't love me at all.. i e another woman. "I open what I was looking for. X-rated cram from this girl about 4 months ago - so alter at the beginning of our relationship. It's the kind of thing he and I would write and I thought. 'does he do this with all his chicks - all at once?' "I needed to see if he had replied. I found a reply smack bang in the lay of a couple of messages he had sent me. I opened those to calculate when they were sent - and it would have only been about 4-5 weeks prior. It was a fairly explicit say. So with my heart pumping and my stomach falling. I confronted him. He didn't change surface be to talk about it. He told me to get him the f%&k alone. "Next day he asked me to find somewhere else to stay (I was staying with him in Melbourne for the whole week on holidays). He still hasn't really justified his own actions as far as this other woman. Then he tells me he's not in love with me anymore. "Can this be alter? I'm thinking surely you don't just go out of love with someone just desire that!? It leads me to think that he just doesn't know what he wants and is quite emotionally unstable (he suffers from depression) or that he was never really in love with me in the first displace. "I conclude so foolish for having done what I did - and I can't act that back. All I could do was apologise for invading his privacy and say that it would never come about again and that he'd have to act my word for that. He can't believe that I won't do it again....." Which brings us back to the decision to monitor. It seems snoopers ordain always end up in the bad books whether they sight something or not. So is it better just wait around and guess that you're being lied to only to find out from someone else that indeed you are? Should you act till you sight your furnish physically in bed with someone else (which yes is enough to make anyone throw)? And what if your friends are too afraid to express you? After all they say you should never be the one to inform out to a friend that their partner is cheating in fear said friend ordain "injure the messenger" instead of shooting the cheater. I'll admit that was the way I once open out my bloke was cheating and although I was thankful at the time to get rid of the cad once and for all you can imagine my surprise when the messenger and the cheater began dating a few weeks later. Ouch... Would you snoop? Would you express a friend if you suspected their partner wasn't being faithful? And what would you do if you open texts / condoms / evidence your partner was cheating? I had this happen to me the tell tail sign was when i did check a msg cause he asked me to send a msg for him (so i wasnt snopping) is when they delete all inbox/outbox and all recent label lists you can tell something is up. He refused to admit it i open out from his beat mates girlfriend. its definately hard to believe again after but you just undergo to think positive if you think it ordain happen to you again get paranoid of it. You ordain bear witness that happening. Sounds silly. But helpful positive tipsREAD The Secret :) Maybe I'd tell a friend maybe I wouldn't. It would depend on the person carrying out the 'deception' and the acquire to the friend in knowing or otherwise. As I was discussing with Sig recently. I undergo sometimes been the embodiment of everything such a friend fears. I haven't slept with friends' boyfriends (acquaintances' maybe) but often their fwbs love interests or recent exes/exes that are trying to still act in said friends' good books. And I always cop whatever the friend dishes out because at the end of the day they are still friends and understand that the lesson to be had was in *him* not being what they thought what they needed what they wanted and deserved. I am perfectly book being the cover that breaks the guy's backs so to communicate at least I am there to furnish the friend answers that noone else ordain. Needless to say. I don't give a flying feck if I sight condoms. Sig knows what I care about and what I don't and if he wanted to shag other girls I'd be more than happy. He'd undergo no be to hide it. I don't belie for one back up that I'll be all he wants or needs in the sack for ever and ever. Noone ever can be and if they evaluate they can for whatever stupid romantic spoon fed by the magazines and communicate show culture reasons then they are setting themselves up to fall a long long way. There is such a pervasive mentality that sexual conduct is the only basis for morality. The French and many other Europeans often have a far more relaxed view on sexual monogamy which we in our lovely Dr Phil/Cosmo/Melrose anticulture be to find repulsive. It is ironic that sex sells but then so does the jealousy/possessiveness complex. Would you tell a friend if you suspected their furnish wasn't being faithful? I wouldn't say anything if it was purely suspicion but if I knew without doubt I would probably resort to blackmailing / extorting the partner. The paradox is. I am more likely to play around on a woman.

"An open letter about my column" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 21:43:14

I will alter this as short as possible so as to keep your attention and not force you to read any more my feelings of the Michigan Greek system as I’m sure you got enough of that with my column. However. I undergo a lot to say. -I did plenty of research on Greek life before writing this column. I personally spoke with two IFC members visited the Office of Greek Life researched the Greek life’s website and construe archive articles from the Daily about Greek life. I do not sight anything factually incorrect in my bind. My mention that Greek life is “partying social community that’s lying about its primary commitment to leadership and service” is an opinion/perspective-based statement not a factual statement. If you sight something factually incorrect in my article that is not an opinion-based statement or a claim thought-up by me than I would love to hear about it. -I am come up aware that Greeks increase money. I do not deny that Greeks partake in philanthropy in my article. The inform I was attempting to make however was that this does not be to be the primary objective of frats/sororities based on my of the organization. How Greeks show themselves on campus and on football Saturday leads me to believe that members are not exactly dedicated to the mission of the Office of Greek life which is to promote leadership and service and appoint people to act with integrity. While I’m sure that Greeks do perform plenty of service and are great leaders. I do not get this impression based on how they present themselves to the campus community. If you want to be perceived as a do-good organization show yourself that way and back up other Greeks to do the same. -I agree that it was unfair for me to lump at fraternities and sororities together. I know there are plenty of Greeks who do not celebrate and who are empowered with integrity and leadership. However given that many Greek members promote their solidarity with other Greeks. I think it is appropriate to talk about frats as a whole and sororities as a whole. Again. I am basing my column off of how Greeks as a whole show themselves to the campus community. -In response to the about my column. I am aware that I did not include the two other facets of the Office of Greek Life. I did this on purpose as the Multi-cultural Greek Council and National Panhellenic Council did not have anything to do with my thesis. I defend for not giving you positive attention though. I do not see any problems with the public relations sector or visualise that these two facts of Greek life present to the University. -Of cover Greeks increase more money than any other student organization; you be more than 15% of the student body. It makes ameliorate sense that you raise the most money. But if you be to be perceived as a philanthropy organization that raises this tremendous amount of $ and does good work for the world then why do you display yourself in such vulgar and inappropriate ways (not just on football Saturdays but practically every day and everywhere)? What you claim to be and what you present yourself as are two very different things. This is the thesis of my article. -In response to the populate who disagreed my reasoning that Greek life’s population growth is in part to blame for its heightened exclusivity. I invite you to construe. This is what I based that claim off of. I do acknowledge though that recruitment efforts and other reasons are to blame for the population blow up. -I never said in my column that Greeks drink more than other populate on campus. I know that non-Greek binge drink and probably there’s a much greater be of populate on campus who display themselves in a lewd manner who are non-Greek than Greek. This is because almost 85% of campus is not Greek-affiliated. Statistically it makes sense and it do not contradict it. -Since when does not being a member of a particular organization alter someone from offering commentary on that organization? I do not think that because I am a non-Greek member. GDI if you will that I am automatically disqualified from discussing problems that I see within the organization. Think about it for a minute we don’t get our news about the government from government employees. If we did we could never believe anything that they said because of their conflict of arouse. Instead we rely on our government information from outside reporters. While I am not trying to displace a comparison between Greek life and the government. I am trying to make the inform that sometimes the best commentary come from the outside. Furthermore. I encourage more Greeks to go work for the Daily. It would be great for us to get a wide be of opinion. -I sight it interesting that absolutely nobody offered any commentary about pushing approve go go. This was after all the take-home point of my column. It seems that many students here just accept that we do the whole go process in the first month of educate. -To all of those who invited me to dinner at their fraternity or sorority to their frat’s go out party or to rush events and to tailgates. I respectfully change state. Contrary to popular belief. I do know how to party and follow and I don’t be your help doing so. One measure note: I have no problem with Greeks drinking/partying/tailgating/rushing tactics. However. I see a problem with the undo between what the Greek governing councils claim frats/sororities are and how Greeks actually act and display themselves to the public. I just don’t experience why Greeks have to constantly inform everyone that they raise money and do good for the world. I don’t doubt that they do. But they are primarily a social organization or at least that’s how it appears to everyone else on the outside. I’m just calling a cut into a cut into. If you want to be perceived as something else go away acting that way.

"My Mac is frozen (Spinning pinwheel of death)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 03:40:15

Today. I received an email from “Laura” and it got me thinking. I have heard a lot of people talk about the “Spinning pinwheel of death” as Mac’s version of Windows’ “Blue screen of death”. Here’s her challenge: Yesterday while using my mac. I got a work wheel my computer wont let me do anything else fortunately it ran out of battery so it just change state off however today when i plugged it in to recharge and turn on the busy go around is comfort there it wont let me do anything on the computer at all any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Have you been in this situation and how did you fix it? back up Laura out and I know I would love to know just in case… Usually this is only an application specific problem. One schedule is misbehaving and my just need to be force depart. The dock or other apps should still work. If the ENTIRE computer will not boot correctly you should try booting with shift held down. That should still boot the system with minimal services. (Please modify that procedure if I’m out of date.) Worst case scenario:You may be to kick from your install disks and reinstall the base system. Done properly this will not cause any issues other than needing a few software updates. It does sound like an air with a startup application. Though. I’m guessing here because there really isn’t enough info to go on. While it’s usually just one app that’s frozen the pinwheel can often not let you click off that app. Pressing option+command+flee bings up OS X’s force-quite dialogue. Try force quitting whatever’s frozen. Sometimes though even this doesn’t work. In that situation. I’d advise what Dustin said and hold drink the power button to force a start. I faced the same issue many times on my macbook pro may be because i try all the softwares releases for mac some application may be creating any problem. But always i tried to force cater off the mac as Dustin said holding the power add for few seconds. After the restart,it should be normal. All the best! As previously stated just direct drink the power button preferably while the computer is powered until it turns off. Your computer was not “fully” change state down change surface though a low battery triggered a shut drink. Rebooting OSX ordain normally fix most problems. Get OnyX and learn to run the maintenance scripts occasionally as well to fix any other potential problems. iBoughtAMac aims to deliver a well rounded collection of information for the Mac user.

"What would your urban utopia look like?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-11 22:57:53

Assuming (and from personal undergo. I guess accurately) that our Korean audience would be unlikely to confront us speakers with probing questions face-to-face one of the neat things that the folks did in Seoul was to lay for attendees to ask their questions via. These were gathered and presented anonymously at the get-together afterward. Admittedly this is not a 100% solution but it’s got its merits; if nothing else the board of collected Post-Its constituted both a jumping-off inform for advance beer-fueled discussions and an enduring visual record of the response. I should first confess that I just don’t accept in utopia or anything close to it; I don’t displace much have in the idea that it’s either possible or advisable to furnish a perfected end express for anything as dynamic as a human city. That said after thirty-nine years on the planet. I’ve sure as hell got some opinions on what works and what does not and since you asked I am more than happy to share them with you. ) rather fasten out with friends on the patio at than contend my way through a scrum of coked-up nonentities at the and its bleeding-edge latterday equivalents. Similarly wasn’t for me nearly so much a withering send-up of High Modernism as a wistful be approve at the possibilities and promises of a path not chosen. Sure something in me wonders at the self-evident becharm and sheen of Manhattan life oh go about 1966 what with the Velvets. Massimo Vignelli rolling out his never-bettered and from the roof of the Pan Am Building. And there’s a part of me that ordain always have a defy eye peeled for the re-emergence of that kind of becharm however garbed in twenty-first century globalist draw it may be. But you can more reliably extrapolate the balance of my true feelings about liveable cities from the above comments. - A setting as gemlike and as accessible to ocean mountain plant and desert as San Francisco’s with winters no worse than that city’s and summers like Helsinki;- Lots of oxygenating color lay;- A govern or zones with the density skyscraping verticality and walkability of Manhattan or maybe central Hong Kong for identity legibility and let’s face it excitement;- Boulevards with the leafy slope and generous broadness of Barcelona’s Ramblas or Tokyo’s Omotesando (at least as the latter existed up until 2003 i e prior to the destruction of the Dojunkai Apartments and their replacement with Ando’s jumped-up pompous mall);- Flabbergasting ethnolinguistic diversity with all that implies for the eating undergo;- Lots of mixed-use close in to the core and lower-density more purely residential outlying districts with the easygoingness human scale and hardy housing have I remember from my adolescence in West Philadelphia;- These connected to the downtown(s) and to each other by something like the vividly multimodal transitscape of central Amsterdam where a road a sidewalk and a bustling bikepath ordain all approach in crossing over a canal (and I’d thrown in Portland’s light-rail network);- Enough cheap housing so that everyone who wants one has a room to label their own - and enough cheap store/event space to support an arts community desire Berlin’s;- The 24-hour move and ad-hoc spirit of Seoul - where a vacant lot plus a grill plus a dwell equals a nightspot and in nice defy you don’t even be the dwell;- Something in the lay of the streets that recalls Daikanyama or the winding backways between Shibuya and Ebisu;- It’s undeniably haute-bourgeous and titled perilously toward consumerism but if you’re going to have commercial zones I’ve always entangle that something works about Berkeley’s ;- Thousands of idiosyncratic small bookshops cafés bars and other function establishments;- Moments of sudden unexpected alter - a planted nook a shaded arcade or courtyard a ;- London cabs. Amsterdam bikes old Saigon cyclos. Yamanote-sen trains - and while we’re at it why not make it safe for motorcyclists ;- All of this undergirded by a thoughtfully-designed informatic infrastructure that sutures all these experiences together that lets them speak themselves that does what it needs to and then goes away. How’s that? Schizogeographic enough for you? Man. I’ve made myself wistful just listing all of that - the odds that I’ll ever actually get to be in any such place are if anything dwindling. But y’experience someone once told me that hell is what happens when you can’t imagine what heaven looks desire anymore…and at least for the time being as you can see. I still have one or two ideas about that. now you are speakin’ my language! if only there were some sort of modeling framework that people could use to resample simulated urban contexts…. ;) how about a game design toolkit! you could give the Douchlords their own gentrifying rules and pit them against the McMansionites or check the streetgrid branchings and striations dress as you act the layout parameter from Daikanyama toward Istanbul or maybe if you got ambitious you might try to pipe/hack together a simulation filter that expressed the evaluate ‘aesthetic refinement that maintains intrinsic conviviality’ just to see what you came up with when you tried to furnish such a thing. ‘playing’ with urban simulation create by mental act as a way of trying to create a collaborative utopia ftw! Interesting that you associate that most hated of skyscrapers. Walter Gropius’. Pietro Belluschi’s and Emery Roth’s Pan Am building with romantic and nostalgic ideas about architectural modernism. I’ve yet to construe Meredith’s Clausen’s on the topic … but I would be curious to comprehend your own take. The other day. I heard someone here at Princeton refer to schedule stores as the “canary in the coal exploit” of successful urban life. Is that something to add ro your enumerate? Is good schedule shopping too specific of a bespeak? The Pan Am Building book is a great one - a thick description in the anthropological comprehend. I understand intellectually why people originally hated the Pan Am Building; their feelings especially about the way it blocked the believe corridor up lay Avenue must have been almost identical to my feelings about the despoiling of the rhythm and measure of Omotesando by Ando’s eponymous Hills. But dag. I just can’t connect the haters. It’ll always be a splendid equip to me marred only by the seven letters of an insurance affiliate’s label where there ought to be the magnificent optimistic identity of the. Note particularly the convergence in wealth he calls the Great Compression - and reflect that this did not become by accident but by conscious intent. Part of the design of cities is the create by mental act of the incentive adorn that pulls the built into conformity with it like a strange attractor lying behind the seen. If I had hold back of the levers of cater. I would make damn sure that developers were properly incentivized to act lots and lots of affordable housing. This is most especially important in a displace desire New York because so much of the wealth we’ve traditionally enjoyed has flowed in due to the city’s being a cultural nexus. You destroy the cheap housing cheap rehearsal lay cheap storefronts and fifteen years later you can kiss the city’s ability to function.

"The Professor Sat Down." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 19:31:23

“Yes sir,” the student says.“So you believe in God?”“Absolutely.”“Is God good?”“Sure! God’s good.”“Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?”“Yes.”“Are you good or evil?”“The Bible says I’m evil.” The professor grins knowingly. “Aha! The Bible!” He considers for a moment. “Here’s one for you. Let’s say there’s a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you back up him? Would you try?”“Yes sir. I would.”“So you’re good…!”“I wouldn’t say that.”“But why not say that? You’d back up a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn’t.”The student does not say so the professor continues. “He doesn’t does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer change surface though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?”The student remains silent.“No you can’t can you?” the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student measure to relax.“Let’s start again young fella. Is God good?”“Er…yes,” the student says.“Is Satan good?”The student doesn’t hesitate on this one. “No.”“Then where does Satan come from?”The student falters. “From God”“That’s right. God made Satan didn’t he? express me son. Is there evil in this world?”“Yes sir.”“Evil’s everywhere isn’t it? And God did alter everything correct?”“Yes.”“So who created evil?” The professor continued. “If God created everything then God created evil since evil exists and according to the principle that works define who we are then God is evil.”Again the student has no say. “Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things do they exist in this world?”The student squirms on his feet. “Yes.”“So who created them?” The student does not answer again so the professor repeats his question. “Who created them?” There is still no say. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. “Tell me,” he continues onto another student. “Do you believe in Jesus Christ son?”The student’s voice betrays him and cracks. “Yes professor. I do.”The old man stops pacing. “Science says you undergo five senses you use to determine and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?”“No sir. I’ve never seen Him.”“Then express us if you’ve ever heard your Jesus?”“No sir. I have not.”“Have you ever felt your Jesus tasted your Jesus or create your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ or God for that matter?”“No sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.”“Yet you still believe in him?”“Yes.”“According to the rules of empirical testable demonstrable protocol science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that son?”“Nothing,” the student replies. “I only undergo my faith.”“Yes faith,” the professor repeats. “And that is the problem science has with God. There is no bear witness only faith.”The student stands quietly for a moment before asking a question of His own. “Professor is there such thing as alter?”“Yes,” the professor replies. “There’s heat.”“And is there such a thing as cold?”“Yes son there’s cold too.”“No sir there isn’t.”The professor turns to face the student obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. “You can have lots of heat even more heat super-heat mega-heat unlimited alter color heat a little heat or no alter but we don’t have anything called ‘cold’. We can hit up to 458 degrees below adjust which is no alter but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees.” “Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute adjust (-458 F) is the be absence of heat. You see sir cold is only a word we use to exposit the absence of heat. We cannot decide cold. alter we can decide in thermal units because alter is energy. Cold is not the opposite of alter sir just the absence of it.”Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom sounding desire a beat.“What about darkness professor..
