Is Getting Pissed the Path to Enlightenment?
So for my history class about the Enlightenment the big project is to create a class "Social Contract." We're basically supposed to design a society....that we can all agree on. Throughout the semester we've been getting in big philosophical debates and I've been, of course, loving it cause arguing is close behind dr. pepper and sleep as the best things ever in my book. Our group had the weird task of creating a name, a motto, a flag, and a national anthem, and when I heard that I was like, are you friggin kidding me. Somehow we managed, and I am actually really proud of the drawing I did for our image (instead of making a flag we are making everyone t-shirts, and it should be cool to have the 20 or so people in my class actually wearing something I drew) Everyone liked it and then unanimously voted to accept it, which was really cool cause we were really worried that people would shoot down all our hard work. ANYway, the point is we had our first real day of debate over what's going into the social contract today, and it was glorious. There is nothing that starts your day like getting sooooo mad at your classmates that you can't stop squirming in your seat. And I'm being totally serious, I love this shit. I also got to yell at my professor, "That is THE most UNENLIGHTENED idea I've heard yet!!!" Who wouldn't love to do that??
