Sucks for you March 11, 2012 Rating: 2
Long live the stables! Worst location on campus, going to class in the equad is unbearable. 8 flights of stairs will have your glutes harder than titanium, not to mention the half hour walk to campus. Cinder block walls are just delightful in this tiny room. Furthest hallway from the Wa. Nice slant in the wall, you might hit your head if you aren't careful. Stink bugs are prolific. A few pluses, the men's bathroom is right across the hall, there's a cool wooden overhang that you can decorate, you can blast music since no one will ever hear you.

At the lowest level was observational adequacy, the mere abil- ity to account for linguistic behavior; this was the level at which most of psychol- ogy was stuck. Then there was descriptive adequacy, the ability to account for behavior in terms of the underlying mental representations that organize it. At the highest level was explanatory adequacy, the ability of a theory to show why those mental representations, and not some other ones, took root in the mind.

Logical priority, broadly defined, is the way things are ontologically ordered. That is, to say that for two factors, x and y, x is logically prior to y if and only if x takes precedence over y. An example could be to use miracles and God (note this is just for the sake of example, I realize that some would argue miracles can exist without God, but I’m simply using it as an illustration). The existence of God is logically prior to miracles in the sense that if God does not exist, then miracles do not. In this case, God would be x, while miracles would be y. In order for y to be the case, x must also be the case, thus making x logically prior to y.

Here's what I understand your argument to be:
For the set of statements:
"I advise that you do X"
where X can be any action that "you" is capable of doing,
There is a presupposition that "I" cares about the success (defined abstractly as achieving agreeable circumstances) of "you".
Therefore moral truth constitutes every possible instantiation of the above set of statements that does not contradict its presuppositions,
presumably universalized (i.e., "I advise that persons do X")

These are the courses I want to take first semester:
COS 126
PSY 101
MAT 103
SPA 103 (Will I ace the placement test?)
FRS 105 Arguments Using Philosophical Analysis
If I don't get into the FRS, I'll take Intro to Moral Philosophy. Maybe.
I know it's five courses, but philosophy, psychology and computer science are all subjects I really like and have a good deal of background in.
By the time I visit you, I may change my mind, though.

They're having more problems than wealthy nonminorities are, and poor minorities are having more problems than poor whites are. Class problems are not race problems and solving one will not solve the other. Even if I weren't poor, I still would apparently struggle to get attention from my professors if my name were Lamar or Quian or Rodrigo.
Once again, it seems like you're ignoring some problems in favor of others for reasons that would be ridiculous in other contexts. While we were recovering from Katrina, should all the 'lesser' natural disasters been ignored?
Whether it's enforceable or not shouldn't matter if I am not arguing it should be engraved in law. The article here demonstrates that we can definitely measure how well schools in at least some scenarios do when it comes to treating their students equitably. If you don't think "being a force for good in the world" is a good enough motivation to actually treat people in this way, it's as simple as making it public just which schools are the worst when it comes to unequal treatment of others, and which ones aren't.
That's part of how we try to hold other institutions in America accountable for the way it deals with minorities, and that's one way we can do it now.

I wish I had a little less freedom. In high school, I only had one, obvious choice. I could focus.
But everything now is a potential misstep. I can't help but worry if I'm opening and closing the wrong doors!
