Farscape in review:

"The Choice"

[spoilers for "Infinite Possibilities," obviously, and Into The Lion's Den and vaguely for the J/A arc through "Twice Shy."]

( The Choice )

How come I post a "I'm on cold meds and am drugged out of my minds but I'm gaaaaay!" post and get like, eight responses? I guess I'm just loved like that...

Also, apparently I have more than one mind. Huh.

Either the drugs or the phlegm are starting to make my head slightly woozy. If I'm not considerably better by tomorrow, it might be time to get me to the health center.

The cable will be down all day tomorrow. That means no Farscape for me. *sadness*

philosophy geek rant

OMG I haaate Kant. I'm just... livid. I am outraged by Kant's theology. I mean, I hate Kant's metaphysics in a very abstract, theoretical, must be a theory geek to understand sort of way.

And everyone hates Kant's moral theory.

But Kant's theology just leaves me livid. I quote from The Little Book o' Kanty Goodness:

"The worship due to God becomes reverence and devotion for the moral law. The faith that transcends belief becomes the certainty of practical reason that surpasses understanding. The object of esteem is not the Supreme Being, but the supreme attribute of rationality." -Roger Scruton. Kant: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford University Press, Oxford. 2001. (97)

That offends me so profoundly I can hardly even articulate how much I cannot stand that... God. MY GOD. My God whom I love and adore and venerate and worship and sing to and praise and whose beloved I am, who is my beloved, who loved the world so much that God took human form for me, is reduced to.. to moral law. To something that fits nicely into Kant's nice frelling little system where everything is divided into three little parts and there's the synthetic a priori that's just soooo beautiful and... Oh. my. GOD. HATE KANT.

Hate Kant and his stupid removal of all humanity, all emotion, all love from everything. Stupid bitter lonely dead white guy.

It's people like him who encourage feminist philosophers to go to the other extreme.

I go scream now. And see if I can find the Sox being slaughtered on TV. If there's one thing I hate more than Kant, it's the Yankees.

Red Sox GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Oh my God started listening in sixth inning and was all "Ewwwww" but now YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! 8-5 WE CAN STILL DO THIS THING!

*crosses toes*

Six more games! It ain't over till it's over!
