I loved Santini, but hated the Miller play. I was going to teach English, but I dislike Shakespeare (and all plays in general, unless they're actual plays that I can watch [with good actors and actresses!], then I can tolerate them), so no sense teaching something every year that you don't like. What I teach now I am pretty excited about and can see myself being happy with it, but we'll see, since the pay still blows.

i made a 6 minute ambient song but it didnt come out right now i have to re do it and work on it more poo

wuss!

[QUOTE]Kern suggests that "the theory that time is a flux and not a sum of discrete units is linked with the theory that human consciousness is a stream and not a conglomeration of separate faculties or ideas". Explain how Kern relates time to consciousness.
[/QUOTE]

Anyone want to read Stephen Kern's "The Nature of Time" and answer this for me?

It's like breast feeding, you did it when you were young. Even though you might think about it now, if you want to enjoy it, well it's too late, cowboy.

It's just way over my head. I'm a journalism major in a media studies program and the dude is asking me about the nature of time.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15977647]Anyone want to read Stephen Kern's "The Nature of Time" and answer this for me?[/QUOTE]

idk, the quote summed it up pretty well, both are continuous rather than a sum of fragments?

like how do you even answer a question like that wtf

just write "Eliminator."

I could do the psychology/consciousness part, but relating it to time (AKA answering the damn question) would be a bit of a stretch because I would want to use all psychology-related material [and probably not answer the question to begin with].

What is this, a philosophy class?

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15977647]Anyone want to read Stephen Kern's "The Nature of Time" and answer this for me?[/QUOTE]

Without reading the material, I'll bullsh[size=2]i[/size]t and suggest that Kern sees human consciousness (like time) as something that is both continuous and, in some sense, recursive.

By 'continuous', I mean that it is like how you take the area under a curve in calculus—it's not good enough to try to break the curve down into a a finite number of discrete rectangles and then take their area; you have to break it down into an infinite number of rectangles so that they flow together into one single form. For a real-world comparison, imagine you filled a box with bricks, which are very plainly discrete from each other. No doubt there would be gaps in between the bricks and so the box wouldn't be quite filled. If you filled the box with fine sand, it would be very near full. So when you analyze time (especially at a historical level) or consciousness, it makes the most sense to see it as something that simply flows together—a stream of water or sand or whatever—rather than brick-shaped chunks like seconds coming at you one after another, as if they came out of a machine on a conveyor belt.

By 'recursive', I mean that you can't take any instance in time out of the context of everything that came before. Like he said, an instance isn't discrete; it can't really be viewed in complete isolation. You can't return to the past, of course, but the [i]context[/i] of the past is always there. Newton and Leibniz gave me calculus to frame what I meant with 'continuous'; the Romans invaded England and now I type this message with Latin characters; reading about complexity theory influenced my answer, etc. It's easy to see how the distant (or even [b]really[/b] distant) past influences everything that we do today. [b]Kingofdudes[/b] and I might say that time passes continuations, but doesn't use a call stack. (Ugh.)

Failing that, put down '42' or 'bree bree eeeeeeeee' like I do when I don't have a good answer.

I found the book online. I have to write an LP (note: not a long play) so if I [i]really[/i] need to answer the question I guess I can read it later. I'm going to be kinda busy tonight though with stuff so apologies in advance.

I wasn't serious hah, I can answer it myself, I'm just procrastinating like mad.

whats that song they play during the office space scene where they smash the fax machine?

Geto Boys - Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangster

I think it's that scene.

nah that song plays when he gets all mad chilled out and takes down the wall on his cubicle and ****

I'm pretty sure it's by the Geto Boys. It's that Die Motherfuc[font=verdana]k[/font]ers Die song, right? It's called "Still."

im watching a show about cheese and writing a review

man i love cheese
