It's 4 am now. Exams for PGP2s starting from tomorrow. See how I made you think nice about me :-p . Actually I don't have any paper tomorrow. Then why am I up? Precisely, that's why!
Attended conB in the morning - the last lecture at IIM L by the prof. He's definitely one legen-wait-for-it-dary person @ helL! :D . Post that, have been spending a lot of time on YouTube. First I got hooked on to this show founded by Stan Lee (co-creator of Superman, Spiderman, etc), which is basically is a quest to find actual superhumans. The first two episodes which I managed to find covered people who could do all sorts of things, right from conducting high amounts of electricity to generating force greater than a 30 miles/hr car from within an inch to accurately firing multiple targets within 1/10th of a second to lots more. You can check out the episodes here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om7mcIYONkI&feature=related
The other super-interesting thing I came across was this set of episodes on morals and philosophy, conducted by a Michael Sandel, Professor of Government at Harvard. From the website:
"Justice is one of the most popular courses in Harvard’s history. Nearly one thousand students pack Harvard’s historic Sanders Theatre to hear Professor Sandel talk about justice, equality, democracy, and citizenship. Now it’s your turn to take the same journey in moral reflection that has captivated more than 14,000 students, as Harvard opens its classroom to the world.This course aims to help viewers become more critically minded thinkers about the moral decisions we all face in our everyday lives."
I heard out the entire first episode, spanning 54 minutes, and every minute was worth it. I have always found the concept of philosophy interesting and intriguing, and the approach that is adopted here is engaging, simple, yet effective. I would definitely suggest it to all of you!
And finally of course, the most important thing - finally done with the infinite book! Atlas(t) Shrugged!
