Jotting down some quick ethics notes
Random small essaylet I cam up with after a discussion on Twitter, putting it here for my own reference. In a recent discussion with someone defending the concept of good as fulfilling a function, the other party agreed with me that something can only be said to have a function at all if it’s part […]
Gun deaths data
Bit of a random thing, but I’m posting this here to clear out my drafts folder. I may expand on it later, but it’s just some data I wanted to look at. I’ve heard a lot of 2nd amendment, gun rights guys say that when you look at whites only, American gun death rates are […]
Guess this is as far as I’ll go…(Gunlord and Math)
I’ll be blunt, my friends. I think I’ve discovered the limits of my mathematical abilities. There are three things I’ll explain in this post. First is why I feel this way, second is how I’ve incorporated what I’ve learned into my worldview, and third is what I’m planning to do from here on out. What […]
Having Lived a Good Life
First, to get any unintended interpretations out of the way: I, personally, am doing 100% fine. As of the time of this writing, neither I nor anyone in my immediate family has come down with any symptoms of the virus. Despite that…everything on the news makes me think it’d be better to make an entry […]
Winning Too Hard (Part 1 of ?)
If you’ve been paying any attention at all to my entries for…well, more than the past few weeks, more like the past few years, you’ll be able to tell that by all appearances, I’ve been doing very well for myself. Every Saturday (or Sunday at latest), every Friday a little while ago, I post an […]
The Problems with Big-Name Nostalgiastarters
The transcript for this video: Hey guys! Gunlord here, comin’ atcha with a video I would like to think is up to some reasonably high scholarly standards, but on a somewhat less weighty subject: Namely, crowdfunded videogames. Again, not the most serious of topics, but hopefully my friends will still be able to […]
Problems Arising from Divine Exceptionalism
Your Favorite Gunlord (G): It’s a very useful rule of thumb in human experience that knowing what it is like to do or experience something entails having done it at some point, and therefore being capable of doing it. Now, God, being omniscient and having access to the personal experiences of all created things, knows […]
The Problem with Desire
Been havin’ a great week so far, friends. Tons of videogames, plenty of great food, and general relaxation mark the submission of my third dissertation draft. A respite like this makes a fitting reward for the progress I made, wouldn’t you say? Even so, perhaps the process of working on that big ol’ project has […]
Adventures in South Carolina
Jeezus fuckin’ Christus, what a week. Lemme start from the top. On Sunday, I went off to the airport, first to Atlanta, and then to Columbia, SC. Not much to say there…both flights were uneventful, aside from a slight delay to Columbia. I did notice something more general about the people I saw, but that’s […]
A Brush with the Law
Not a long entry for you today, friends, or even a “Relaxation Saga” entry, though I’ll probably do one of those next week. Instead, I’d just like to describe an amusing incident I already told some friends of mine on Facebook about, along with some lessons learned from it. Long story short, I got pulled […]
