I’ve been thinking. This morning I was reading (The Prince by Machiavelli) and something occurred to me. Philosophers are perhaps the most important individuals in human society. I know that a really broad statement, since technically anyone can be a “philosopher” if they have their own unique view of the world. Still though, look back … More Modern Philosophy
It’s been awhile since I’ve written about social things, what with all this poetry business and so on. But I just finished watching a really interesting documentary on Vice called “A House Divided”. It basically went over the Obama presidency and how he did and didn’t accomplish things he planned on accomplishing back in ’08 … More Some Thoughts
