i was reading a book on discrete math (they didn't require that in
madison.. er.. it didn't exist) and i stumbled upon a problem
that perked my ears

http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/tree/chill/p1310060.vhtml

i was pretty sure i understood the logic.  i am just sort of skimming
the book a lot of stuff i covered in various courses, just seeing if
there was something basic that might have been important.. then
i realized.. ITS AN ODD PROBLEM!!

so i looked in the back of the book

http://www.monkeyview.net/id/965/tree/chill/p1310061.vhtml

i WAS LIKe OMG!!! hahaha  {:D  the thing is, tho.. it doesn't
seem logically beyond an EVIL god to do GOOD to us, if it maximizes
the hell we feel?

oh wait.  does this work both ways?  hah }:D of course the debate
of millenia couldn't POSSIBLY solved by an freshman level basic
course!!

this is what they call "the problem of evil," isn't it?
