So Much To Learn, So Little Time Much like the guy who sat down and read the entire Encyclopedia Brittanica, there's quite a bit out there that I'd love to learn.  Problem is finding the time.  Take philosophy for instance.  I took a one semester philosophy class back in college, where I learned that we shouldn't eat meat and that no one truly knows where the universe came from.  That pretty much sums up my formal education in things philosophical. But thanks yet again go to the internet and Glyn Hughes who has taken the works of some of the greatest thinkers of the last few thousand years and condensed them -- or as the site puts it -- squashed them to a fraction of their original size. Don't have time to read Francis Bacon's The Advancement of Learning?  You do if you have 30 minutes to spare.  How about Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil?  You can buy the 288 page version and never read it, or you can zip through the less than 10,000 word version for free.  Quick and free.  Nothing better than that. So no excuses anymore, right?  So get on over to Squashed Philosophers and find out just how little you know. 6:13:42 PM     |
