DHumeDominates Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks, this is cool. A question: Aravan says "I know of at least one very highly-Leiter-ranked program whose student-completion rate is absolutely abysmal." Anyone know what that might be? Probably Harvard.

SelfHatingPhilosopher Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Probably Harvard. I haven't heard anything about Harvard, but I do know MIT is often flouted as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil519 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm pretty sure its CUNY, they are notorious for having a huge department, not a whole lot of unity, and a bad placement record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kant_get_in Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm pretty sure its CUNY, they are notorious for having a huge department, not a whole lot of unity, and a bad placement record. I was thinking CUNY too. I had a friend who was wait-listed there. She talked to a few grad students, and they advised her to pick another program with a more friendly environment.

kant_get_in Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm also taking another crack at Liam Murphy's Moral Demands in Nonideal Theory. It was one of the more difficult books I read as a grad student. http://www.amazon.com/Demands-Nonideal-Theory-Oxford-Ethics/dp/0195171950 WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfindley Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 gosh I hate moral philosophy without a proper metaphysic or theory of nature to ground a morality -- it is just baseless opining. you know Buddhism is more popular with the girls :Op philstudent1991, Cottagecheeseman, kant_get_in and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfindley Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I decided to move to Colorado instead of Thailand. maybe that's kind of a mistake.. but the legal pot and cheap cost of living, (and the abundance of white people) make it an attractive option. I probably won't get a smoking hot wife like I would in Thailand .... maybe.... and my money would go further there...... but I might feel insecure about the visa situation ... I won't feel as secure in Thailand as in the US.... ...but smoking hot babe guaranteed. ....I don't know what do you think??????

bar_scene_gambler Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) So what's up with the philosophers' names in Lost? I'm watching season 4 right now (I think) and I still don't get how Hume's, Locke's, Bentham's (still don't know who he actually is), Bakunin's, Burke's, or Rousseau's names are even remotely related to the respective philosophers. Will there be more philosophers' names popping up? Edited January 17, 2014 by bar_scene_gambler DHumeDominates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstudent1991 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't think they were really related, I think they just chose philosophers names randomly. Season 1 of lost was great but I think it really went off the tracks after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 1 of lost was great but I think it really went off the tracks after thatSeason 1, Episode 4, "Walkabout". Gives me chills to watch it everytime. One of the greatest episodes of television history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjwaq Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 One way to spend this time is to get Netflix and watch Breaking Bad, if you haven't already seen it. philstudent1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
