Does man think, then, because he has found that thinking pays?—Because he thinks it advantageous to think? (Does he bring his children up because he has found it pays?)
What would show why he thinks?
And yet one can say that thinking has been found to pay. That there are fewer boiler explosions than formerly, now that we no longer go by feeling in deciding the thickness of the walls, but make such-and-such calculations instead. Or since each calculation done by one engineer got checked by a second one.
So we do sometimes think because it has been found to pay.
It's from a book I was given for my birthday by that guy. That book meant a lot to me as does a lot of other things but it's not an epitaph, so I'm not going to jabber about all that. Maybe let's just not get mawkish in public, shall we? This one time? Right.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the thinking we've had together (very epitath stylah!)
aaaand...
CONGRATULATIONS on getting a job at the uni you lazy often-bearded animal food trough wiper!
You have lived off my taxes but only so long!
Logicise their heads off and math their brains out! I know you can. I know you will.
May my state give you grants aplenty and may you never have to do any actual work (since you're getting good at it and it would be a waste of talent)!
Seriously,
Mazel tov, Mikey!
PhD (among other things)
