I have, since yesterday, started playing a game of catchup but yet keep up, which I seemed destined to lose. But I’m sure I’d catch up somehow. A friend once said to me “what absolutely needs to be done will be done”. I completely agree with that statement, and more people should.

Dworkin is such a genius it is scary to see how analytical one can get when grasping and explaining vague concepts, not by the usual dilettante way of narrowing it down to something more tangible and referable which we were taught in high school, but grappling with ambiguous and sometimes metaphysical ideas directly, like trying to grip a slippery eel with three fingers.

I find jurisprudence very interesting, contrary to what most of the student population think. It is not my preferred field of philosophy, but if I cant do well in it at undergraduate examination level, I probably shouldn’t be interested in philosophy at all. Kymlicka has said in a different context, “I do philosophy because I think I am good at it”, and if this belief is flawed, even if I never find out, this will still be detrimental to me. But I reckon the exam would justify or completely disprove my belief.

Further to my last post, I am beginning to think how we can expand the harm principle to cover day to day conduct, as a guide to ethically justifiable/unjustifiable intercourse. More on that in awhile.

My blog is far less pictures without jia to post em for me. Haha. Too bad.

I am more or less settled for summer, it seems I will be back mid August. Trying to do math practice questions have signalled the death throes for my diminished wish to become an investment banker upon graduation, and cemented in my mind my ambition to start (hopefully not end) my career as a lawyer.

Thanks to everyone who planned that wonderful surprise party for me. It was awesome.
