75. Godelian Ghosts


Godel's incompleteness theorem states that for any axiomatic system that is consistent, there are true propositions about the natural numbers described thereby, that cannot be proven from the axioms, but are, nonetheless, true.  Godel's ideas were never meant to be perverted and disfigured by a comic artist: oh well.

Solipsism is a skeptical hypothesis that basically states that anything outside one's own mind is unjustified and may not exist at all.

UHPA Rejects LBFO




The University of Hawai'i Professional Assembly voted to reject the "Last, Best, Final Offer" proposed by the UH administration by over 80% of the vote.  Greenwood wrote an email to he assembly in which she voiced her "disappointed" opinion.  Not only was this the first offer given to faculty members, but it certainly is not the best offer.
