Everyone's In On It

So waaaaay back in November, I wrote a post on my myspace blog about how I felt like I was cast in some sick play. I was getting at things more metaphorically . . . actually, more specifically I was thinking about Goethe's Faust. But I was thinking about that, I realize because of some of the events unfolding in my life.

It really is all fun and games until someone gets hurt. I don't want to hurt people anymore, and I don't want to get hurt. Shitty jokes, anecdotes aside.

So in the famous words of some crazy black lady that my silly little brothers quote all the time, "Imma do me, and you do you."

Amen, sistah.

Aaaaaaand that was my stance until I was perusing my old Logic and Philosophy text book (I must have been seriously bored in that class, the doodle-work in the margins is epic) and I read a humorous example for Inductive Arguments whose true premises DO NOT ensure the truthfulness of their conclusion,

For example, in 1986 after the success of Star Wars and Return of the Jedi, it was a pretty safe bet that the next film produced by George Lucas would be a box office hit. So movie-goers in 1986 could have constructed the following inductively strong argument:

1. All of the movies produced in recent years by George Lucas have been successful.
2. The latest film produced by Lucas will be successful

Unfortunately, the film turned out to be Howard the Duck.




Amazing.

Dear Paul Tidman and Howard Kahane,
Do you blog?
WTF.
Sincerely,
Cindy Mayweather

We all exist in shades of Gray.
