Brain Floss

I have to write a page and a half on the differences between Marxism and Hegelian philosophy.

If I even REMEMBERED what Hegelian philosophy was, it would be nice.

Honestly, I must have been asleep when we talked about this in class, and clearly I did not do the reading. I'm not sure I can fake a page and a half...

Thought I'd share.

Oh, and the answer to last week's brain floss is... You'd probably rather live under an authoritarian regime. Totalitarian regimes get in your underpants and tell you how to live your life (think present day North Korea). Authoritarian regimes, as long as you don't challenge their power, let you be (think Franco's Spain).

Cheers.

Thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

That's about all I remember.

So I love to come read my intellectual friends jibberish because your jibberish is way above my most intelligent thoughts. So it is nice to see you out conquering the world while I am happy to be nestled at home with my crazy children. One of whom is screaming bloody murder right now about getting a snowball to the face. I niss you. Hope life is grand for you! Meg
