    Yes, good. Maybe even great. Who would want to miss out on a big slice of chocolate cake with fudge filling? I can't imagine anyone turning it down.

    A lot of people think that heroin is better than chocolate, thus it is very inherently good.

    What are the properties of cake that makes it inherently good? As opposed to "everyone likes it"

    I noticed, if I recollect correctly, that even since the old PF, you've been against cakes and pancakes, of all!, being inherently good.

    Where does this prejudice stem from? Perhaps, I've unearthed something afflicting your psyche after all these random exchanges between us about inherently good cakes or pancakes. (?)

    Eat some cake, your memory is failing you. Nope, I have nothing at all against cupcakes, big cakes, cheese cakes, ice cream cakes, nor pancakes. I love all of them. :love:

    I do have something against people that say things are inherently good though, because that implies that somethings might be inherently bad.

    But you are, at least, a likable person so I ask again. Why inherent?

    Why not just bloody marvelous?

    Why inherent?Sir2u

    Well, I figure based on what you said, about everyone liking some cake or pancake, that they might posses the property of being inherently good. I don't know a person who hates cakes or pancakes for the matter. Though, it could be one of those black swan cases where I might be wrong.

    Let's just agree that cakes and pancakes approach the convergence limit of being inherently good, but never reaches it?

    I think that's a deal?

    So now that we have the problem of cakes being banned solved, we can have cake to celebrate out deal. And I want chocolate fudge ice cream on top of mine. :up:

    And before you ask, my logic says that rationing is the same as banning.

    And I am always right.

    Ok, fine. If rationing meaning banning something that approaches the property of being inherently good, then I don't see how anyone could make any sense out of my babble. I'm probably right about this too...

    Don't you agree that they should be rationed also? If one we're to gluttonously indulge in eating cookies and not leave any for later, then that's not a good situation, I think?

    I don't know about that. I hate studying. Never really studied anything in my life. My mind works by starting with general premises and just playing out scenarios with them until I arrive at some conclusion that is coherent with what is being presented in class.

    If something is hard, I guess change the method? Mine is just to rationalize everything into constituents, form a big picture, and then try and fill in the rest.

    This method failed me in upper divi classes at uni; but, just throwing what worked for me until I got there.

    How do you study?

    Hmm, interesting... I just absorb whatever they throw at me, then when I need to write a paper, I just take that and try to organize what I collected and develop new ideas that came to my mind. Guess it works because I've gotten straight A's. :blush:

    Hmm, good memory I figure. Although my method is cumbersome, it does lead to a deeper understanding of what is being presented in class. I just need to think my way through it on my own. Unfortunately, my "processor" isn't really that fast. So, it can take a while, and I often get left behind when the class starts delving into deeper concepts or ideas about some subject.

    With so many phones in class rooms, why don't students record the teacher so that they can study at home? they could pause and even replay then.
