Just Wanted to Mention This

As anyone who knows me well can attest, I am occasionaly apt to using mathematical analogies to make my point. (Although most of the time it just makes everyone MORE confused) I just wanted to mention that I am not the only one.

"Or, using another analogy, saying that a Metaphysics of Quality is false and a subject-object metaphysics is true is like saying that rectangular coordinates are true and polar coordinates are false." -Robert Pirsig, Lila

That's right! He went to a rectangular vs. polar analogy in a book that has nothing to do with mathematics! I don't why this makes me happy.


In a related note, I am a dork.

Hahahhahahahhahaha!

That's great! That just brought back some many memories, and I'm debating whether that's totally sad or just plain frickin' awesome.

Stupid women and their polar coordinates...
