I am primarily doing it for an education, not for a career. My personal values lead me to value the arts degree in itself... it saves me from being sucked into a degree which would otherwise just be a vocational one. To give you more of an answer - no, I don't think that the arts degree will...

Yeah, that's a fair call, I've been looking into the MPH option. However, I believe I've worked out a way to do the MBBS + BA(hons) in 7 years, though I'm yet to confirm this.

The primary reason why I want the arts/med option is because I enjoy the humanities. They offer a break from the typical cramming of medicine and allow me to indulge in more analytical thinking. At the moment I am tossing up between philosophy and development studies. In terms of potential...

Any university which a) is willing to accept me and b) offers an arts/medicine option ---> UNSW wins by proximity.

Possible use for an honours year: According to a surgical registrar I spoke to recently, in order to get a decent position at a big teaching hospital as a specialist physician (as aposed to a surgeon) you will often need to have a PhD. Given the likelihood of research cropping up during your...

Parliament - Dr. Funkenstein Jamiroquai - Whatever It Is I Just Can't Stop Joshua Redman - Greasy G RHCP - Funky Monks And so on... These tracks are probably a tad slower (and less dance oriented) than most of the ones listed above but they still have fat grooves which always manage to get...

(1) We are describing the nature of propositions because you are making sweeping statements about that which is infinite, while at the same time saying that 'we can only understand that which is finite'. One way of coming to understand something, say 'object X', is to determine the truth/falsity...

Thus far science seems to be doing a good job of showing how parts of our lives could be just that - a coincidence. I have a couple questions for you: (1) On what grounds are you able to claim that 'life can't just be a coincidence'? (especially given that science has suggested ways in which...

Meh, I can wait. Here's a more concise presentation: (1) Would you class propositions of the following form 'The infinite has property X' as infinite or finite in nature? (2) What do you mean by 'dependance' and why do you think that all which we perceive can be classed as 'dependant'...

Sorry about the number of questions below, but most of them need answering in order to clarify your position. I feel I should first point out that I have issues with your statements about the infinite. You claim that "all that we can perceive is limited" and it seems to follow from this that...

Just a curious sidenote: where Cantor and Sufyan collide.

Georg Cantor seemed to do a pretty good job of reeling in the infinite. I have read some replications of his arguments about different levels of infinity. Do you reject his results or do you think he might have succeeded in thinking and coming to conclusions about the infinite?

The latter part rather than the former. I.e. "How does anything we know necessitate the existence of an unlimited Creator?"

Need it be necessary that there exist something which is unlimited?

Lecture notes and powerpoint slides are located in the same place as the iLecture links, i.e.: https://vista.elearning.unsw.edu.au/webct/logonDisplay.dowebct WebCT Vista Home --> Course page (e.g. MFAC 1501 Foundations) --> Scenario Learning Materials --> Lecture/Activity name Sometimes...

Here we will have to agree to disagree because I do not believe that homophobia and racism serve legitimate purposes. There is no good reason why we can't seek unity on the basis of our being human rather than through race and sexuality. Even if you see bigotry as a tool which stabilises society...

Let me provide you with an argument which is analogous to the third quotation. If you had taken part in a debate over black rights in US in the 17th century you could feasibly have presented the following 'rhetorical question' argument: Would you rather know that you aborted a white child or...

While it is possible that you have left out some steps in this argument I find that I have to disagree with you. To my mind what you have said is akin to the following: "If a Ming vase is not flawless then it must have a large crack down the side." Analysing the above statement we can...

I feel I should point out that both atheists and theists make use of the same logic, in particular they use some variation on classical logic ('if A then B' is true, and 'A' is true, therefore 'B' is true etc). It is my belief that logically valid statements are true irrespective of whether or...
