Thoughtfulness may be short for this world

Wednesday is definitely getting to be the new Tuesday. We're working back like reversed clockwork. Someone should probably step in and move things along.

The word of the day is daedal.

It's an adjective which means "complex, ingenious in form or function; intricate."

Here's a sentence:


Sartre argues, in his haphazard attempt to render a moralist existentialism paradigm, that even if morality may be a subjectively-inspired phenemonon, we can still make our own morals the object of our daedal self-reflection and hence look at them as objectively as is possible


Still not sure I agree with Sartre on this one; How can his existentialism, a theory centered upon rejecting all phenomenological observations of humanity, have anything to say about a code of ethics? We'll leave it an open question for now.
