Kant was a lamo, he wouldn't have climbed, or posted. Husserl would bracket the work, then bracket the posts, then, uh, rephrase whatever Kant would say. But it's all a moot point, becuase Heidegger made them both footnotes. That said, Heidegger would certainly climb first, but he would probably do the work before dealing with the posts (too much "secondhandedness"). But Foucault would definitely climb first, then post, then work, and Derrida would post about how the climbing undermines the unspoken premises of the work itself.

(All this reminds me that I should probably reread "Discipline and Punish," Foucault's analysis of the intertwined and interdependent developement of prisons, the military and our modern world.)

What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.

Wasn't it Descartes that said, "I drink therefore I am?" (Managing to get in a Monty Python's reference and a philosopher reference in one fell swoop.)

So you should go climb, then drink, and forget that other crap until tomorrow.
