My God, It Rhymes!

I'd like to reiterate the difference between the taught and the thought. Unfortunately, this means more bad news for the teaching profession.

So, I was walking down the corridors of my oil company HQ yesterday and this girl tells me she graduated in philosophy. As anyone would, I turn our conversation to Hobbes. And she told me a lot about the Continental and this other philosophy branch and about what strange times produced the man.

Well, it was basically a restatement of the thesis I read in some other book that also adds how a conversation between cultures is also a bit meaningless. As I wrote to a friend, I am sure they explain it far better, but to their shame is that they need whole books to do the job.

However, I insisted Hobbes was far more interesting because of his philosophical ideas on freedom and not because of his social contract. And I kept talking as if I listened to him yesterday and quarreled.

But it could be me. Maybe it was just because this girl kept looking at me with her big eyes.
