In the Middle East, Sudan and other Islamic areas, there are fliers handed out promoting the destruction of Danish, Norwegian and French buildings and killing of citizens of the respective countries. What is all this about? Well, the Danish paper Jyllandsposten posted some caricatures of Muhammed the Prophet, and as most of us know, the […]

Christmas is the number one suicide holiday of the year. Knowing that some times makes me feel like crap, when I’m sitting there with my loving family and all the world is green. I went home around midnight the 23rd, having seen the obligatory Hovmesteren with the folks. I sat down there, there was small […]

Wtf? I just bought a jar of instant Espresso from the local convenient stores, up at my mothers. It had a red label on it saying: New Intense Aroma! What the eff does that mean? That my espresso will no longer taste espresso? Does it add a whole new meaning to coffee? Will coffee never […]

Today I feel like a soda. Freezing and full of gas. But I’m kind of refreshing too. I’ve just completed Operation X-mas Cleaning (OXC), and it was no standard op. I began with the vacuumer and did the whole area, layer by layer, until I struck solid floor. The vacuumer was a bit harrassing, though, […]

As some of you know, I’ve kept a keen eye on the internet censoring in East Asia, but now it is time to look at Europe too: It has now become urgent to adopt harmonised provisions at EU level on this subject. A certain number of Member States have adopted, or plan to adopt, national […]

A peculiar thing about philosophers (and indeed me too) is that they are looking at a problem. And they want that problem to go away. So, they seem to look for a place to put it. But still the problem won’t go away. Someone just ignores it and deals with other things instead. They are […]

During autumnn I always have trouble getting up in the morning. I’m like a bear. It’s dark and cold outside, so I want to chill in my den. What’s wrong with that? Well, my employer would think so, friends have asked whether I’m depressed, and I f**k up my daily rythm. But no. Nothing’s wrong […]

I’ve just finished my 2nd exam this semester. This one was in FIL2502 – Philosophy of the 19th Century. I wrote about Nietzsche, mainly Nietzsche, then a little about Peirce and why Nietzsche cannot be viewed as a pragmatist "under" Nehamas’ interpretation. I started like this: "In precisely two hours ago when I was sitting […]
