I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 38: Dennett and Heidegger Just Don't Mix
Today, I was looking forward to hearing Daniel Dennett, a prominent cognitive scientist and well-known atheist, speak at Georgia State University. Then I decided not to go so that I would be able to start and finish my philosophy midterm (due the next morning). I figured it was the wise thing to do, at least in terms of hopefully getting a good grade on the midterm.
Result: I could have gone to the talk, considering the fact that I didn't even start my paper until 10pm.
Sigh.
