What is the world coming to ?

    I may have posted on here that I was a little concerned to note, last year, that at St. Andrews Uni the department of Epidemiology appeared to have merged with the department of Metaphysics and Logic.

    I am pleased to note that it is now 2022 and this does not seem to have materially affected my motor cycling.

    ^^ ^^ :sleeping: :*

    I toyed with Logistics and the Epidemiology errors to see if anybody was paying attention !

    Epistemology it is.

    The department is up a wee lane and were it not for the insignificant plate on the door you would think it was just another of ye ancient St. Andrews houses.

    I always think it sounds like good fun because you could come up with loads of nuts stuff and it would take years to prove you wrong.

    Bit like Ossian's tales !

    I watched a great (old) lecture series giving a review of major philosophical developments in Western Thought early in the pandemic (I tried to find the link for you but no luck). I especially liked the bit on Marcus Aurelius...quite uplifting. Good fun it was and I thought it would change me life. Alas, I dropped back into my old mental habits in no time. Must force myself to review. Though in my defence, I did do dive into Eastern religion/philosophy last year. But again, you have to review the stuff or it just fades...the concrete everyday crap pushes out the abstractions.


    As for the obscure door at St. Andrew's... the tales of how sunny that coast is and it being a college town just makes me fantasize about enrolling in a course to wax philosophical, under the influence of whatever "chemical adjuvants", surrounded by liberal minded college girls (preferably under a tree rustled by a warm breezed) making their points in accents considered exotic to me. Always, the primitive hindbrain demands it's pound(s) of flesh.

    The adventurous at that uni are in to surfing and paddle boarding in the bay (think how cold that is in January) without I imagine any manufactured stimulants --- so you might be disappointed.

    I took that pic a day after storm Arwen had wreaked it's havoc --- and left some good waves.

    I, myself don't touch the chemicals but I just assume the it's ubiquitous in the college crowd. Plenty of natural highs to be had. Yeah...you wouldn't get me into that icy water without a diving bell and a a dry-suit.
