Bds Reflection

I couldn't really get in gear to do much writing today. So I sat down, and just wrote whatever came to mind again. After our conversation about how everything is connected and dependent on something else, I started thinking of philosophy again. This idea of connectivity reminds me of the idea of determinism. The idea that, if given all the knowledge and information in the world, one could, in theory, predict any and every outcome accurately. So I began writing, just any argument for or against determinism, and I noticed how I couldn't really keep track of time. Twenty minutes passed and I decided maybe I should take a break, refocus my eyes, pop my back and get comfortable. After the break, I reread what I had written, analyzing everything and deciphering both sides of my argument. This may sound extremely boring to most, but philosophy and arguments are two of my favorite things so I found this brief daily session one of, if not the most, gratifying writing I've done in quite some time.

  1. This is really interesting! I tend to think way too much into everything so this kind of stuff is right up my alley!
