It's overwhelming how much IT is being crammed into so many industries. Sometimes it even bridges them together.

True, which is exactly why I decided to make a large chunk of my program revolve around it. Took out liberal arts classes and replaced them with things like Computer Science, Computer Engineering, IT Management and Systems.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

Exactly. And if I really wanted to look up Philosophy or Ethics, I'd just read. I don't need a professor guiding me through texts.

Like right now, it's Nietzsche, Oscar Wilde, Kant, and Tolstoy.

It's a modern thing.
Just any random name is good. I can't seem to decide.

My first paragraph,

It definitely isn’t fun jumping out of an airship in your underwear. But then again, it’s not much better getting blown up along with the craft when an armed lunatic sets C4 bombs all over the place…
