philosophy degree [05 Dec 2009|06:53pm] philosophy [caricaneba15] I've posted this on philo_major, but it couldn't hurt to get other opinions! Currently, I am in the health administration industry and I make large amounts of money. I'm a year away from getting my health administration degree, which I would make even more money with. Eventually, my goal is to get a ph.d in philosophy..but for now... I do extensive reading outside of class, and I've taken quite a few philosophy courses. While I don't take formal education in philosophy too seriously, I'd still enjoy the classes. I'm not too keen on getting my philosophy bachelors from this school though, but I could get my minor. The money for me was never an issue, but I honestly support my whole family, including the extended family that have it pretty bad. I would start on my goal right away, but I would first like to make some money. This is my plan- and you guys are welcome to destroy it to pieces! I will finish my health administration degree with a minor in philosophy. I would then prepare for a masters program, while working..I'm sure that at that point I would be able to support myself without working too much. I'm sure this sounds like a good idea in my head- but what do you guys think? be here now 1 definitely maybe Add To Memories Edit

mind-matter interaction research [03 Dec 2009|01:05am] philosophy [mind_lamp] Researchers at Princeton University suggest* that consciousness (the mind) can influence the behavior of physical devices known as random event generators. Maybe some of you have heard about the Mind Lamp - http://www.mind-lamp.com/mind-lamp-research.php - or even have one. Now there's an LJ community to discuss your experience and thoughts, and to create a software implementation: http://community.livejournal.com/mindlamp Other software and hardware instruments for the mind-matter interaction research are also welcome. Those who enjoy computer programming are especially welcome! --- *Just in case, more details are at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem etc. be here now 11 definitely maybes Add To Memories Edit

MogileFS Maintenance [02 Dec 2009|12:18pm] lj_maintenance [mhwest] [ mood | dirty ] [ music | Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction ] **EDIT Thu Dec 3 23:24:15 UTC 2009 ** Hey Everyone, we are about to run the last alter job that we need to on our database servers. This will effect userpics / scrapbook / vgift images for the next few hours. Have no fear, your images aren't lost, there is just a really intensive process running on the servers which store the information for mogilefs. Thank you for your understanding and all the LJ love... Hey LJers, I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;) Thanks, be here now 120 definitely maybes Add To Memories Edit

Graduate Programs in Continental Philosophy [30 Nov 2009|03:52pm] philosophy [myprotagonist] This is probably not the ideal place to get an answer to this question, but I've looked around and asked a lot of other people, and thought I might as well ask for opinions here. What are some good graduate programs in continental philosophy? I am specifically looking for departments that are all continental or primarily continental. I'm already looking at SUNY Stony Brook, Memphis, NSSR, etc. And yes, I've seen the epic list of Philosophy Graduate Schools Friendly to Continental Philosophy, but just thought I would fish for a little more information. Has anyone out there attended graduate school for continental philosophy, and, if so, do you have any advice.
