I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe any thing but the perception. When my perceptions are removed for any time, as by sound sleep, so long am I insensible of myself, and may truly be said not to exist. And were all my perceptions removed by death, and could I neither think, nor feel, nor see, nor love, nor hate, after the dissolution of my body, I should be entirely annihilated, nor do I conceive what is further requisite to make me a perfect nonentity. If any one, upon serious and unprejudiced reflection, thinks he has a different notion of himself, I must confess I can reason no longer with him. All I can allow him is, that he may be in the right as well as I, and that we are essentially different in this particular. He may, perhaps, perceive something simple and continued, which he calls himself; though I am certain there is no such principle in me.”<br/><br/> - <em>David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, Section VI: Of Personal Identity (via <a href="http://philphys.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog">philphys</a>)</em>http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23986504893http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23986504893Tue, 29 May 2012 16:18:29 +0900<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3s1s2MlH41ru5uy6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23283089098http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23283089098Fri, 18 May 2012 18:21:01 +0900<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tzy8mpyD1qzxf07o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://moji.tumblr.com/post/22808952653" class="tumblr_blog">moji</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a class="l" href="https://twitter.com/#!/ruinee_/status/181743685229223936/photo/1">教授のくれた「不可」。。。あんなメッセージが隠れてたなんて/// #逆さに読め</a></p> </blockquote> <p></p>http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23108191466http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23108191466Wed, 16 May 2012 01:33:18 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3udc7gHtG1qaanh3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23108133388http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23108133388Wed, 16 May 2012 01:31:50 +0900<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m40tltOBjR1qd65vgo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://theeconomist.tumblr.com/post/23045342915/daily-chart-where-are-the-worlds-busiest-airline" class="tumblr_blog">theeconomist</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><strong>Daily chart: where are the world’s busiest airline routes?</strong> <span>Jeju, on the South Korean island of the same name, is not one of the country’s 20 biggest cities. Yet its allure as a tourist destination resulted in 9.9m passengers <a href="http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2012/05/daily-chart-8">flying between Seoul and Jeju in 2011</a>.</span></p></blockquote>http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23108014091http://furusumakei.tumblr.com/post/23108014091Wed, 16 May 2012 01:28:46 +0900<a href="http://blog.usa.gov/post/23046615414/most-popular-baby-names-of-2011">USA.gov: Most Popular Baby Names of 2011</a>: <p><a href="http://blog.usa.gov/post/23046615414/most-popular-baby-names-of-2011" class="tumblr_blog">usagov</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Jacob and Sophia are America’s most popular baby names for 2011, according to the Social Security Administration.</p> <p>This is the thirteenth year that Jacob has been the most popular boys name.
