"Yeah!! We each get to be our own little divine commander."
Sartre's Existentialism
Man says to the guy behind the soda counter--"I would like some freedom please."
Guy behind the soda counter takes a fire hose and turns it on in the guy's mouth.
"Not that much freedom!!" Contemporary Philosophy, Sartre's Existentialism

What is knowledge?
"So say Ean walks into the Quantum Physics lab at Harvard and says, 'Quantum events are indeterministic.'
Then the professors say, 'How do you know that?'
'Divine revelation from God,' says Ean.
'Get out of here kid. Who are you anyway?'
'Ean.'
'Oh, your a Wyma kid.' {suddenly struck with enlightenment, the profs hurriedly begin writing down his every word}"

CORE 350 Humor:

“You could put CORE 350 on your resume.”

“Is it because I am an Orthodox and he is a heretic from Kentucky? Or, I am a genius philosopher and he just a social psychologist?”

“Remember I have a laser pointer. I can find you.”

“This is why I have not talked about Moral Relativism, and hence, brutally and politely attacked it.”

"Ethics"

“Hell is a really big cookie” Euthyphro

“God doesn’t like drunkenness because He doesn’t like grapes; however, He likes poppies so getting high is ok.” Divine Command Theory

“Wisdom is made known in the midst of fools. Unfortunately I have added to the mounting objective evidence provided for the wise.” Subjectivism

“Mike Tyson fled in the face of logic.” Subjectivism

“People who claim to be moral nihilists aren’t, unless they are writing it in their suicide note.” Subjectivism

“You will probably die on a toilet. And later be found naked and smelly.” Subjectivism
And the CORE 350 love should probably continue--concerning "Environment and Ethics"

“I have the subjective preference of lots of philosophy classes, but luckily I prefer an objective truth.”

“Fish are not that simple. But lets face it, fish are not that smart.”

The Love of CORE 350:

“Who eats Spartans for breakfast.”

“French...that is truly useless.”

“The world’s resources are distributed inequitably—but, so what? Why should other people’s welfare matter to me?”

Wyma flips-off CORE 350

Reference to nice clothes: “I need to just touch it and pictures happen.”

What is Subjectivism? “False, false, false and false!!!!”

“Isn’t it your own fault if you live in Maine”

Legal aliens? “Gordon is like ‘oooh that’s me I’m free riding.’”

Logicians to Logical Postivists: "Yeah I got your back, with an ELEPHANT GUN!!"
Sound effects and acting: "Boom!! (long and loud) Kussshhh!! (I think this was the splattering Logical Postivist)"
{Georg Cantor's Diagonal Method}

"The floor is yours Daniel. Own it baby!" [Yes, Wyma called Daniel Griffen baby.]
{Jean-Paul Sartre Basis of Life-Meaning}

Ethnographer to 'man in a culture he doesn't understand and language he doesn't speak' (we will call this man MC): "What is that? (Ethnographer points to furry rabbit)"
MC: "Gava-guy!"
E: "Gava-guy?"
MC: "HM. Gava-guy/incarnated-witch-spirit."
{Wittgenstein On Language}
Update explanation:

Well the sight is up and going again. Beautiful don't you think? Wyma is again available at your every becking call or "lonely for Wyma" whim.

This is my, Heather Stevens', first actual post. All the posts prior to this one should actually be credited to Amy E. Bernard and Lars sometime before her. However, the only way to manage the changing of hands was to simply switch the profile name. Before we were delayed for a long time due to passwords and then we tried the whole author-transfer thing, but that threatened permanent closure with no way to re-access the site (AHH, that would be no good!). Yet there is no longer a need to worry because everything is now under control.

So have no fear 'cause Wyma is near.
Sit back, relax, and chuckle.
OR, Be on the edge of your seat and point at the screen with wild-eyed glee as you laugh yourself a bellyache.

From your friendly-neighborhood University,
{Say, "Thank You Globalization"}
