Random thoughts Stray memories

Sunday, March 05, 2006

It had been a long week. My overseas colleagues came and left. I was given a crash course on the intricate virtual World of Warcraft (which I don't plan to start playing).

Bought a Tee on which a cartoon badger(?) was clutching a guitar and the caption read "Music is my Friend". I thought that was funny, cos the band Hidden Cameras used to have the website entitled "Music is my Boyfriend". Almost tempted to add the word "Boy" on my Tee with a black marker but I don't think people will get it.

And now I'm reading on Schopenhauer's theory that love is blind cos everything boils down to a "will to life", ie. whatever we do boils down to procreation.

Meaning:
Getting a nice haircut is to attract the opposite sex => procreation.
Getting good grades is to get a good job, which is to attract the opposite sex => procreation.
Blogging your life online is to attract attention, which is to attract the opposite sex => procreation.

Except I still see an aging population, don't you?

  • procreation is merely the extension of one's life, the denial of one's death, the assertion that one's genes will proliferate... a long life, or immortality, offers the same thing...

  • Although they were probably conflated in Schopenhauer's time, sex isn't the same as procreation ;)
