waltzing into our 3rd year

i can't believe that we've been together for more than 2 years already. monday was our 2nd anniversary; there was not much fanfare there but yes.

the boy was ridiculously sweet and it has just been the most amazing. have not been happier and definitely the best so far. i mean hey for the past 9 months, we've had 2 bigger quarrels, not too bad aei.

here's to 2 and for the many more to come.

more post because alexis says so

alexis has been bugging me, you know how she's such a bugger right, so i am blogging more.

you guys just know that the rant about public transport is coming up, but that will be done later. right now, i can't get over how absolutely dazzling the new itunes visualizer is, i want to share it with all of you!!

voice of no reason

recently, while on an atheist forum, i encountered a very strange person arguing against evolution and proving the existence of god. what i found overwhelming was the use of ad hominem defense for any argument leverage against them, and if we give any evidence for evolution, it would be refuted by a statement claiming that its a circular logic without proving anything. so fine so be it. we then ask them to prove the existence of god.

what truly baffled me was the use of the existence A to show that without the existence of B, there would not be A. this is a fundamental fallacy in itself.

the reasoning goes as such, there is the existence of a golden ratio. if there was no existence of god, how can there be a golden ratio. hence since there is golden ratio therefore god exist.

this is a very fundamental logic error that we humans are very prone to fall into. one must first establish that because of the existence of god therefore there is a golden ratio first for the above logic to stand, if not we can simply substitute the logic above with anything and it will still stand.

for e.g. there is the existence of a golden ratio. if there was no existence of Santa Claus, how can there be a golden ratio. hence since there is golden ratio therefore Santa Claus exist.

or even less subtly, there are poisonous apples in this world. if there was no Cinderella, how can there be poisonous apples. hence since there are poisonous, there are Cinderellas

And the weirdest thing is that this poster was obviously  out for a verbal sparring without even wanting to listen to anything posited, hence i said to the rest of them, there's no need to give any scientific evidence at all, since nothing will be believed.

Their research method seems to be:

1. Hypothesis - Evolution is wrong (or [insert random event] is wrong)

2. Methods - Check the Bible

3. Conclusion - Evolution is wrong / right depending which denomination and country you come from / [insert whatever the Bible says]

Critical thinking?

besides hot guys

Besides hot guys (1), what have i been up to?

mostly i have been keeping up with school work and that is making me busy enough.

I was just having a conversation with amy that day, and she noted that she wasn't feeling particularly motivated in school. But for me, i am feeling one notch lower, i feel unmotivated. (note the fine difference between not particularly motivated and unmotivated).

It just appears that there's this certain air of gloom surrounding year 4s, i saw it in my seniors and i wondered why, and now i am feeling it for myself.

i am almost very sure that i had enough of school and i don't want anymore of it. i am ready to be an adult and to go out there and rule the world!
