Daybreak

The day is dawning.

We live in an age of very new and fun things, don't we? iPads, iPhones, Lamborghini Murcielago lp640s.... But really, what makes us as a modern generation so much better than previous generations? What sets us apart from our dead fathers and grandfathers? Our technology? Certainly. But technology is only a means, is it not? And if so, towards what ends is this means directed? What values are reflected in our XBoxes and iPads and internet USB fleshlights?

As for Philosophy, face it; we have no respect for the profession in today's world. Philosophy majors are the butt of almost every academic joke and the object of a consistantly dissapproving gaze ("Philosophy? Interesting... And what are you planning to do with that?")

Who's to blame for this? Our consumer-whore culture? A misplaced faith in science? The fetishization of information? Perhaps philosophy itself is to blame.

This is my project.

P.s. Anyone know of any internships in the greater Seattle area?
