| 19:00:18 | LuciferAFK | LuciferAFK is now known as Lucifer |
| 19:00:25 | Lucifer | * Lucifer bows |
| 19:00:36 | rhino | hey Lucifer |
| 19:00:40 | Sat | * Sat bows |
| 19:00:52 | Lucifer | Shall we wait for Mermaid or begin? |
| 19:01:09 | Sat | yes she really enjoyed this reading |
| 19:01:26 | Lucifer | Was she talking about it before? |
| 19:01:42 | Sat | last night she talked to me a bit about it |
| 19:02:09 | rhino | can we discuss how we should do it |
| 19:02:09 | Lucifer | The article was very different from my normal fare |
| 19:02:18 | Lucifer | Sure rhino, what do you suggest? |
| 19:02:52 | rhino | not sure, is there anyone who can sort out topics and bring them forth? |
| 19:03:23 | rhino | is it a no? |
| 19:03:24 | Lucifer | I doubt any one here is in a better position to lead the discussion |
| 19:04:08 | Lucifer | I would suggest that we analyze Paglia's argument though |
| 19:04:36 | rhino | Paglia's argument? |
| 19:04:53 | rhino | is that from chapter 8 and further? |
| 19:05:09 | Lucifer | Yes, what was her conclusion? Did the article support the conclusion? |
| 19:05:21 | Lucifer | I'm assuming it wasn't fiction. |
| 19:05:47 | rhino | not fiction, but i am not sure it supported a conclusion either |
| 19:06:26 | rhino | she has something resembling a conclusion in chapter 10 |
| 19:06:37 | rhino | but it is rather an opinion |
| 19:07:05 | rhino | she says that we should seek the original forms of the eastern religious texts and teach them formally |
| 19:07:34 | Lucifer | Yes, because the 60s made a mess out of new spirituality |
| 19:07:40 | rhino | so that sytudents can find the basic ethical issues in religions |
| 19:08:24 | rhino | i am not sure if that was a mess or an adaptation to a different society |
| 19:08:34 | Lucifer | "There was a massive failure by American universities to |
| 19:08:34 | Lucifer | address the spiritual cravings of the post-sixties period." |
| 19:09:25 | Lucifer | Do you think she has a high opinion of 60s drug culture? |
| 19:10:36 | rhino | i am not sure... i think not |
