 I gotta say, this quarter has made me writer some pretty creative paper prompts that get turned in late.

Sherlock Holmes and the history of criminal profiling during Victorian England: includes racial profiling. 

Connection between the history and practice of philosophy, and the conflation of the rational mind and racism; also includes how racist perceptions of people influenced diagnosis and misdiagnosis. 

The Metaphysical Novel/Artwork as articulated by Simone de Beauvoir and Martin Heidegger: case study, Waltz with Bashir animated documentary. 

But of course, it's the class that was the most opaque and abstract (American Pragmatism, wtf) where the assignments got me an A for the overall grade, and that class was so hard to understand. What is this, why are the things I'm enjoying so hard to earn a good grade threshold, do you know how hard it is to read John Dewey and Richard Rorty? Completely unreadable, why is one of them a Kantian? In fact, why is Kant and Heidegger easier to read than a bunch of Americans? 

We need to write in Latin again, philosophy.
