Finally got around to answering emails and stuff. Also, I think I just started a flamewar. Eh.

Kicking around yet another idea for yet another ungodly long story that yet again I don't really have the background to write. While I'm passable on biblical knowledge, I'm not on either cults or historical Judea.

The newest chapter of Ice is about six pages, except that I realize half the scenes completely don't fit what I'm going for and have to be removed again.

And I think I might be missing a notebook, because I still can't find Ch7 of Reality.

Philosophy class

So I'm taking another philosophy course, and am being reminded of exactly why I don't like philosophy.

There's something deeply...wrong about a situation where a philosophy described as "the greatest happiness for the greatest number" is automatically dismissed. One of my peers trotted out the trite quip about it "disregarding individuals". In comparison to what? How were the three "do good because invisible sky daddy orders it" systems before it paying more attention to people as individuals? And it's all very well to say utilitarianism disregards the minority in favor of the majority, but the only alternative is to disregard the majority in favor of the minority. THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE OBJECTING TO HERE. I'm all for supporting the minority, but there's lovely middle ground between not ignoring them and not giving them sole priority.
