Oh lovely lovely night

So it happened again. It's 2 am and I'm still typing this. But everything is worth it, I have once again wasted my time on things - some philosophical thought experiments, a game, chilling to music I used to listen, and learning about fallacies on Khan Academy.

This was how my life used to be. Although me doing it now adds no value to my current life whatsoever, I feel happy and fulfilled. So just let me waste this one night.

I always find night the most lovely time of the day. It's during this time that I'm completely undisturbed that I experience complete silence in my environment. It's during this time that my focus and randomness go to max simultaneously. And how fun is that.

But there's this, and there's the reality. Nevertheless I will save those revision packages for another day. Night is when my mind wanders free. I refuse to put a rein over my thoughts.

Just introducing two things in this post. The website that hosts a number of philosophical thought experiments and using them to evaluate the coherence in your thoughts and beliefs is this:

A lot of them are on morality because there's where a lot of controversies lie. Honestly I don't give a damn about morality, because having a consistent moral view is really, really difficult. Definitely interesting and thought provoking.

The other thing is the game, a house in California. It's so beautiful Q_Q You hear the tales of grandparents and great grandparents of a little boy, telling him stories of the old days when they catch fireflies and listen to songbirds sing. It's a point and click game that's rather random. The atmosphere portrayed is really nice. If you have time, find a quiet night and play through the game undisturbed. Do not feel frustrated when you can't seem to find the way, just try everything, and you will see the poetic and witty lines put forward by the creator.

So yup, time for me to go and finish the videos on critical thinking.
