What do you do when everything you've worked for is going wrong?
I am currently in a school a junior in college and manage to maintain my gpa up to a 3.23 (although I could have done better but I've been dealing with depression which affected my performance tremendoulsy). However this semester things haven't been going as well as i've hoped. I am not doing good in any of my classes (except one in which I think I may get a B+). There is one class I know I am definitely failing. Nothing I do works, and I have never had to work so hard to get Failing grade in return. It is really depressing me, my ambition and motivation just went down the drain. I want to quit because I don't see the point in me going to school if that's all I can give. Usually I would say that I would never quit but at this point i have no hope. It's already the end of the semester and the time to drop the class has already passed. I don't know what to do. I am crying hysterically right now because I feel like an idiot with no brain.

This term was loosely used up to couple of years ago with so many countries, especially Latin American ones. Reason term is no longer used so much could be because we are a Banana Republic ourselves now?

The only two factors that affect your decisions:

- Your genetic makeup
- Your upbringing and life experiences
(Unless you think there's a magical third factor)

You CAN'T change either.

You can say "I can do what I want" that's why it's such a convincing illusion... How can decisions be uncaused, are they random than?

People will never see the philosophical side of it never mind the physics part (Determinism).

1000 years from now, when man has explored the edges of our galaxy, discovered life on other planets, has the ability to regenerate and mutate human body parts at will, and people are able to communicate with others around the world by thought. They won't be anywhere near as irrational as the majority of us are today.

Does it seem fair to you that people of the future will have a perspective of the world that is completely different from ours? One in which superstition is killed by the knowledge base that we are building today?

Does it seem fair to you, that we are living in the relative dark ages and our descendents will think on our time as if we were all delusional people that spoke to ourselves in the belief that we were speaking to something that evidently is not there? Is it fair that not only will we be considered primative, but blindly superstitious as well?

What is knowledge? What does it mean to know? (Please no dictionary definitions, I'm looking for an intelligent, philosophical analysis of this question) I seek the answer to satiate my own intellectual curiosity.

For example:

There once was a lord from Nantucket
who turned water to wine in a bucket
on the plus sign, he died
all his followers cried
all because Judas said "F*** it."

~Jason Fenwick

(I know Jesus was not said to be from Nantucket... but hey, it's just a story, after all. Who cares if the "facts" are factual.)

Fully developed people do not only believe myths they write them. I am still interested in seeing some cave dwelling paintings of dinosaurs. Artists paint what they see and fantasy. Many cave painting show something that looks like a space ship. There are no paintings that show a dinosaur where a size relation can be established.
A fully developed person should be able to come up with something besides a myth when it comes to something as big as a dinosaur. Bones can be put together a lot of ways. They can also be manufactured to gain grants. Like ol' Leaky. The hero of his time. He didn't last as long as Moses has. Darn it.
