I just read an amazing page which makes an attempt I wouldn’t consider feeble in trying to explain what Deconstruction is. The latter link is a Wikipedia link and it is very difficult to grasp the meaning/concept of deconstruction from it. Since I know what deconstruction is, I, as a novice, will attempt to deconstruct some literature, or any contextual data I see over the internet. This is going to be very interesting.
The flight was exhausting. Twenty hours of being in air, moving through terminals and scavenging snacks. That was really tiring. I finally made it to Toledo.
The University looks great. I was surprised to see that the citizens here are very nice. I can’t wait to spend my time here in Academia.
I am in a temporary room now. My housing application is being processed. I am living with two chinese guys and a native.
Check out my room in this Flickr link.
Tomorrow is Orientation, I’ll write a lot about that tomorrow.
If we look at the wide range of philosophical concepts of reality, we see that there are a lot of differences, and some ideas are from one extreme to the other. Truth is scarecly discussed in this context though. Whether one concept is true or not is rarely discussed or thought about for that matter.
Let’s say there is a true philosophical concept/definition of reality. Then, what made people theorize all the others? I think peoples’ emotions somehow deviate the truth. Thus, creating many concepts which can coincide with theirs. Perhaps this is all happening subconsciously.
Now if we take the above premise, then possibly, emotions distort our views of truth and reality. Can an emotionless version of a human see reality clearly. Is this why in science fiction, emotionless beings are usually considered superior? <tongue-in-cheek>Are agnostics very emotional people?</tongue-in-cheek>
This is of course only true if there is an absolute truth.
This is a spin off of my old blog. I plan to write a lot about my experience in the United States of America. I am leaving Oman to USA for University. I will be attending the University of Toledo. This blog is meant to contain my thoughts mainly. If anyone’s interested or wants to comment on my thoughts I will welcome and be glad.
