• Nobel Prize

    Hello Everybody,

    Cooperative anarchy. Exactly what Tom Jennings had in mind.

    If Tom Jennings is that brilliant, I wonder why he's working as a >WD>parking-lot attendant and not preparing his acceptance-speech for
    the Nobel Prize in Philosophy ...

    This is disgusting :(

    If you want to react to something, know what you are reacting to ...

    ... there is no Nobel Prize in Philosophy ...

    Bob Dylan won one.

    "Things Have Changed"

    The Swedish Academy awarded Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in
    Literature "for having created new poetic expressions within the
    great American song tradition."

    "Not once have I had the time to ask myself, `Are my songs
    *literature*?'" ~Bob Dylan acceptance speech, 10 December 2016

    Albert Camus also won a Nobel Prize in Literature.
    And we all know the reasons why.

    Perhaps it is time someone nominates me for the prize.
    From what I understand, the only requirement for collecting
    the prize (including the dough that comes with it) is to
    deliver one lecture within six months of having been declared
    the lucky winner.

    Dylan made sure not to default.

    Shakespeare is not meant to be read, but spoken.
    Certainly the B'ard had actors in mind when he penned
    his masterpieces.

    Dylan is not meant to be read, but sung.
    Certainly he had voices in mind when he picked up
    his guitar, creating sounds that would live forever.

    So who says Philosophy is not Literature?

    Only a fool would even think such a thing.
