Il faut se méfier des mots. -- Beware of words.
Information about the artist can be found here. And, guys, don't you think my photo is at least 2,5 times nicer than the one shown on that blog? ;-)
AND THEN??? How does it continue? This is the question children ask when they don't want you to stop reading to them. So this blog is just about how 'it' continues after I left California. I do not promise that the following will be any interesting, actually I can almost promise that it won't. But it's the best means I can think of to keep in touch with you all! So please, do use the comment function as much as you can and write me back!

this picture is fantastic. & i LOVE what it says. mostly because i have a love/hate relationship with words.
I went to John Searle and Hubert Dreyfus' classes yesterday.
People were asking Searle random questions (because of who he is): "What's your opinion on linear time?" Searle: "I don't have an opinion... except, let me check my watch.[Checks his watch.] Yeah, we're doing fine."
The class is Philosophy of Society. Searle mentioned that most (but not all) of reality is a social construction. Searle: "There are some people who think that all of reality is a social construction. I'd like them to take a step out that window. [We were on the second floor.] If gravity is a social construction, then lets deconstruct it."
Ran into someone from L.A. on the corner across from campus. We were talking until a homeless man sitting on the floor interrupted us screaming, "Take that shit somewhere else!! This is my corner!!" His face was so angry. He said that the only way we could stay was if we gave him
change. Rent for his corner, I guess. : )

on [your] complements and caffeine.
thank you.
hey! I know why this random guy asked the random question about linear time in Searle's class! In spring there was some talk about time in the Dreyfus-class, okay the class was 'being and time', but I am sure that this guy just wanted to hear that Searle says the opposite to what he heared last semester in class so that he can tell funny stories to his fellow Heideggerians... "Mr. Searle, what do think about... BEING??"

that's exactly what it was, jochen.
