In a philosophic brain mess now. that I'm glad for all of you back home. I'm far and away. And you don't have talk me through it. My KR, unfortunately, don't share that good fortune.

BTW. She's great and really nice. (She's my best-friend yet in HK) But I think if I talk to her about this further... she might just taekwondo me. (She holds a black belt.)

Questions I'm thinking about:
1) If a sadist alien race gives us an ultimatum.
a) WE to torture a baby for 1 hour. no specifications on whether the baby dies. but he probably will.
b) they torture the whole human race for eternity till we are exterminated.
What will you choose (which is the easy part)? How do you justify that? like in 3000 words

2) How do you know a table is a table? Which is easy enough, untill you think about the concept that to 'know' something, you need to be able to trust that your brain is sound.... etc... This IS inception. How do you know its not?

3) Can laws be broken? And fit ethics in...

Amidst all these brainsucking questions... I miss the times when everything was simple.

ps: imagine facing questions of this sort in an exam. Just 60 mins. Your brain in a juicer. I enjoy this stuff. Just not so sure, my GPA will survive the fall.
