Nuts are seeds. More specifically, I think they function as the fruit (in the scientific sense) and the nut of the flowering plant.

Why? Because it doesn't work within your system of morality? I don't know enough about various philosophies or logic to know if they're sufficiently rigorous to be expressed arithmetically, but extending Godel's theorem(s), wouldn't that mean that its impossible to show that your system of morality is consistent? That is, you can't prove the validity of your moral system by using morals derived therein. Would that make all moral discourse moot? Am I just rambling? These are all questions, but this is a statement.

« on: October 17, 2009, 06:24:50 pm »The fact that any of them are graduate classes is mostly irrelevant. We did more in my second semester of undergraduate algebra than the graduate algebra course does.
I would have to say that largely depends on the school...

« on: October 15, 2009, 01:20:51 pm »Oh, yeah, and I have a linear algebra exam tomorrow. Gonna be the hardest test of the year so far. Because the professor makes it ridiculously hard.
I'm not even sure what to expect. He doesn't use a book with the course, his lectures are surface level deep, and his exams are super comprehensive.
I have the exact same thing today!

Depends on what you're sewing. Rainbow-patterned quilts and soft pillows? Or are you patching up your manly-man jeans after a long day at the construction yard/pimpery?
