Composing My Very Own Ninth Symphony

| | Comments (3)

With my speech and debate performance stagnated in the "pretty good" range, I am sick of languishing in mediocrity. After spending a day recovering from the past semester by skiing and eschewing mental exertion of any kind whatsoever, I think I may be almost ready to launch a word processor and dive back in. I shall compose my very own ninth symphony, so to speak: an Oratory on a scope I have never approached before. This speech will deal with a philosophical dilemma that I have been incapable of resolving for at least 8 or 9 months. I'm not sure I can resolve the paradox, but I think I can provide insight into it. It deals with the absolute most fundamental question of how humans make decisions, and methodologies for doing so. In considering this, conventional morality and nihilism are both destroyed. We'll see how it turns out, but I think it has the potential to be intensely interesting, even if unconvincing, and that is what truly counts in Oratory.

Maxwell is a disgusting human being. He stays up til four in the morning on Christmas Eve playing bridge and poker for virtual money. What a total loser... actually winner, but that's not the point.
