Quote from "Cyberspace and the Lonely Crowd" by Greg Van Alstyne.

"Man shouldn't be able to see his own reflection - there's nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to stare into his own eyes. Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself. The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart."

-Fernando Pessoa

Late Night Rambles about Percy Jackson

Ok, I want Percy Jackson (and the other included books of the series) to be a tv show, and I know most people want it to be live action, but instead I want it to be animated. Animation can make them look the age they are supposed to be, get voice actors of any age, and make the visuals more interesting instead of adding bad C.G.I. that is usualy in live tv shows.

Later you can even add in the Kane Chronicles and Magnus chase, and even do cross overs if it gets popular enough. Make the books far more popular in doing so.

Every season could be come slightly more mature then the last so it ages with the characters and the people who are watching it. And also, they could add a few episodes in-between the main story line that shows what's happening at camp half blood while Percy and friends are our doing quests. Get to know more about the background characters.

They can make it in to a 15-20 episode per season depending if they wanted to add alot or very little to the show. If they added, I'd love if they added more interactions with the gods. Honestly I could see it being a very brilliant tv show as a cartoon.

Natural science is not the only viewpoint from which reality may be disclosed. Another such viewpoint is that of the historical-hermeneutic sciences (the cultural or human sciences). Unlike the monological viewpoint of the natural sciences, which 'grasp reality with regard to technical control that, under specified conditions, is possible everywhere and at all times', the dialogical viewpoint of the cultural sciences 'grasps interpretations of reality with regard to possible intersubjectivity of action-orienting mutual understanding specific to a given hermeneutic starting point'. The objective knowledge produced by the natural sciences is impossible without knowledge in the form of intersubjective understanding. The natural science assume a shared framework of intersubjectively valid pre-scientific ordinary language.

Philosophy, as I said, does not provide comfort to the comfortable, it shouldn't, it doesn't even provide comfort for the afflicted as you may have found out if you're afflicted. It is disconsolate in principle. Hegel said dialectics or philosophy does not run from death and devastation, but tarries with it awhile and looks it in the face.

Rick Roderick, from the lecture “Philosophy and Postmodern Culture“ (1990)
