eulogy for patrick swayze

Justified beliefs are worth having because justified beliefs are probably true./ Every morning, my boss used to talk about Patrick Swayze/ It is possible that we have evolved in such a way that when prompted with certain sensory input we immediately and unreflectively reach conclusions about external objects./ Black dog & that surfer movie from the early nineties/ with Keanu Reeves /I never watched any of them / We may live in a world in which beliefs about the external world produced in this way are usually true (or would usually be true if enough of them were generated). / My boss was sectretly in love with Patrick Swayze./ And he professed his love at the coffee table from 8.45 to noon / if he didn't talk about the french foreign legion/ gently tapping his feet / or the middle ages /he talked about that car chase scene /and how Swayze's movies are "special" /special special special /Patrick swayze is dead /and my boss is dead / stickan, jag har läst om det där / stickan, jag har hört om det där / stickan, jag har läst om det där / stickan, jag har hört om det där / most beliefs are probably true. /join the 7699 legionaries / and non-commissioned officers hailing from 136 different countries / including France / build yourself an exceptional future in which honor and fidelity are fundamental values.
