Torture is bad

It is 4:45 so I am going to make this post very point form-y. I am doing my essay on the immorality of torture.

Torture is bad.
People defend torture by considering the ticking time bomb scenario.

Ticking time bomb scenario (TTBS) says Mr. X has planted a bomb somewhere in the city. You have caught Mr. [...]

Death Penalty

This post may be quite fragmented since I have been rewriting various parts of it.

I am slowly reading through papers trying to think of arguments for various essay topics. One possible topic is, “Is the death penalty morally permissible or not?”

I personally feel the death penalty is not permissible.

Two arguments I know of for [...]

Orgasmatron

In September our neighbours were holding a small party which I happened to attend. While there one of the guys had this thing called an orgasmatron. It was actually just a crazy name for a head massager. This thing was totally crazy.

The midterm as a whole wasn’t that difficult though. I should have been able to get 76% easy but I didn’t bother to learn how to a specific algorithm. What sucks even more is this midterm [...]

Galois Theory Midterm

After galois theory I need to start doing physics. I have basically fallen asleep through every lecture [...]

Current Schedule

So I think I will probably do my depth in physics. After looking through so many different courses I was stuck between physics and philosophy. I can’t make a prerequisite chain of length three in philosophy so that basically just left physics. Also there are some pretty interesting second year physics courses.

Anyways here is my [...]

Recovered. Galois Theory is too much

On Friday I went back to Scarborough in an effort to recover faster. With the help of Doctorb Mom and Dad I am back and almost as good as new.

The weekend itself was pretty uneventful. Friday I slept for a good chunk of the day. Saturday I got my haircut =(, it took me 9 [...]
