Thank you very much for sharing this lecture, Mr Bonevac. It is a shame you had to finish it without being able to talk a bit more about the three last slides in your presentation. Your students are surely lucky to have you as their professor! Kind regards, João Barbosa, Brazil
Woody Allen made a movie called, "Crimes and misdemeanors", where the philosophy professor talks about the coldness of the universe, and how we get enough love to get by.
One can only recognise that something is irrational if it is measured by the rational. The fact that one can say 'reality is irrational' proves that (paradoxically) reality is fundamentally rational, otherwise I would not know that it was (or appears to be) irrational.
You start by pretending to inhabit a role, like a wise professor, a confident salesman, a friendly receptionist, and 20 years later you discover that you have become that person. You can’t remember who you used to be.
A ship stays afloat for a reason, thus, the rules are there for a reason. when leaders and fool lie and cheat and fudge to destroy balance, you get a mess. That is why "Power is an end in itself" is so unsettling a phrase.
Blanche Dubois, from "A streetcar named desire", is an example of self deception and what happens when light is turned on. Don Quixote, too. But, aside from slackers, there are men who attain disciples. Aristotle hated specialists for only having narrow ones. He thought people should strive to be liberal artists. THEN, I think of the lessons of the movie, "Ground hog day".

Roles? How many hats do you wear? People aren't wearing enough hats !!

Memory? Discipline, habit, taste, principles? Who are you ?
