When I asked Brooke what color her car is, she responded, “inside of a banana peel yellow”. That made my day.
Although Hegel is much less repetitive than Heidegger, Hegel’s ideas are all tied into his grand structure, as can been seen in Encyclopaedia of the Philosophical Sciences and The Phenomenology of Spirit. Apparently it was the fad of the time to define one’s conception of the entire universe in a single structure, a la Kant and Fichte. I have a fundamental disagreement with this notion simply because I don’t see the universe as one large structure, but rather an infinite number of small parts.
To me it is a waste of time and effort to try to make your entire philosophy on everything all fit into a single strict model. It’s nice in theory and is practiced in many fields successfully, I just don’t think philosophy is a field in which it belongs. That said, Hegel’s writing comes off in many cases as cyclic and self-proving (thus not really proving anything), making my journey through his book an arduous and fruitless one.
Digital Systems Design is an interesting class. It has programming logic and algortihms, but implemented in hardware. At least I know that hardware isn’t for me.
Numerical Analysis is just math. It’s very methodical and mundane.
Hegel rules our public school system.
