whitefang Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I have a brother in law who knows about my coming on this site. Just the other day, he asked what was happening on it, and I told the tale of our "spat". I mentioned that I might have started it by unfairly maligning you for studying "Aesthetics" in college. I explained that while I had a rough idea of the meaning of the word, it didn't seem like something that would be a college course. But that with further examination of other dictionary's definitions, especially the Funk & Wagnall's that also defines it as a philosophy, I've had second thoughts. And they do indeed teach philosophy in college( I have a friend with a philosophy degree. He installs replacement windows for a living, but that's neither here nor there). In that light, why NOT a course on aesthetics? So he said, "Well, I should HOPE they teach that in college!" Teach what? "What you were talking about" Aesthetics? "Yeah. I mean you'd want the guy to know what he was doing, right?" I don't understand... "You're talking about that stuff they give you before you have SURGERY, right?" Uh.....no... You thought I was bad! And I deal with this shit on a near daily basis. It's no WONDER I gravitate to message boards. I'm STARVED for conversation! In ANY form! Whitefang I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
