Everybody wants to have sex - you don't have to have a baby when you're 16. you don't have to do drugs. i think our sunday schools should be turned into black history schools and computer schools on the weekend, just like hebrew schools for jewish people, or my asian friends who send their kids to schools on the weekend to learn chinese or korean.

One might think this means that imaginary numbers are just a mathematical game having nothing to do with the real world. from the viewpoint of positivist philosophy, however, one cannot determine what is real. all one can do is find which mathematical models describe the universe we live in. it turns out that a mathematical model involving imaginary time predicts not only effects we have already observed but also effects we have not been able to measure yet nevertheless believe in for other reasons. so what is real and what is imaginary? is the distinction just in our minds?

I think the greeks invented sports as an antidote to philosophy. in sports there are absolute rules. it's not, what about this? what about that? either you're safe or you're out. it's ten yards or it's not. it's in the hoop or out of the hoop. it's certain.
