The Engineer's Dilemma
*
So, I really am taking a college course from GOD. Professor David Christian is Professor of History at San Diego State University. He is making my brain accommodate 13.7 billion years of history, from the Big Bang to the present moment and beyond.
It is the coolest fucking thing in the world.
It's no secret that I am a NOVA junkie, a Frontline junkie, a general PBS crack-fiend, a voracious reader of John McPhee and Jared Diamond and Gould and Dennett and imagine if all of them got together in one wild man's body and you could sit around a campfire under the stars and listen to them explain the deepest mysteries of the universe for forty-eight half-hour long lectures. Not an hour on PBS, not a two-hour movie, not a five-night miniseries, but twenty-four hours of hard-core brain-stuffing bliss.
That Teaching Company is going to get so fucking much of my money.

Okay, I gotta go walk the dog now. Then a movie on the sofa with the wife and some ice-cream.
Do I know how to live, or what?

Namaste.
