Alma Mater Xanthippe! (加州理工 - 無鹽大學) Caltech Girl lyrics by Ben Williamson and Bret Victor music by Billy Joel, to the tune of "Uptown Girl". (intro vocals) Caltech girl, She's been livin' in her Caltech world. Bet she never had a double-E guy, Bet her advisor never told her why I'm gonna try For a Caltech girl, I even taught her how to code in Perl. Then I lent her my H.P. She never even gave it back to me, But I have three. And when she's walking, I'm stalking, so close behind. And when she's talking, She says she loves my big huge mind. She knows I'm not so buff, That's okay, I'm in love With my Caltech girl, She even gave me her homepage url. Now we chat on IRC all night, Without my glasses on, she looks all right, She's out of sight! (bridge vocals) Caltech girl, she's my Caltech girl, You know I'm in love with my Caltech girl, she's my Caltech girl, You know I'm in love... (fade out)

"We can paint if we want to, it's a colourful thing. We can draw if we want to, what a colourful thing." "And I stand for whats wrong and I stand for whats right, Ive battled the best of the best, but Id rather not fight. I am valuable tool, yet most people fear it, I spell wacky words like xanthippe and xeric .. but I bet you never heard those words before, cause their strange or hard to say. Watch out for that fear, another word of mine, xenophobia starts that way. I stand for a number, an unknown just the same. Unknown numbers, unknown planets unknown comets, unknown names. And I stand for a cause! look at Malcolm youll see: he traded in his slave name and replaced it with me. In the Nation of Islam many people agreed, I should stand for the mystery of forgotten family trees. And on the topic of trees, my job is less worthy. Any tree that I touch will be chopped down to the ground and shipped in a hurry. When Im three in a row, Im sexy and I win! Sometimes Im a turkey, if you keep on knocking down those pins. Of course today its a picture, ah but ben--when bowling begun, a real turkey was given for that triple x run. you know I relate to the Muslim conundrum, Just like them, no ones sure exactly where Im from. Well I know that the Greeks had an interest in me, but I was placed at the end with Omega, Phi and Psi. So was I a part of semiotics, or a symbol of troth? Or like most other things A product of Thoth? On the surface I remind some of my evil roots, but I can stand for peace and joy, balance and truth. Im a symbol of hope I stand for the cross, a symbol for Christ, a reminder of loss. Yet some see these ties, as too strong or too grand, Last year in Saudi Arabia they tried to ban me from their land. Me. But Im a normal guy. I might have a layered past But theres good inside. Like, when a signatures required And you just dont know how, Im the guy who steps in so you can be proud. I build bridges and fences, tables and chairs, flowers, people, Im strong and I care. I tell you you cant. You plead to me why? Look I dont want you to slip and end up like that guy. Im x-treme, extra large, extra, extra small. Im an entire generation denouncing it all! Yup, Im this and Im that. Just like everything you see Im the 24th letter of the abcs."

This is a short vid i know... Who cares!!?! This page is about the Classical Greek philosopher. For other uses of Socrates or Sócrates, see Socrates (disambiguation). Socrates Western Philosophy Ancient philosophy Socrates Full name (Σωκράτης) Birth c. 469 / 470 BC[1] Death 399 BC School/tradition Classical Greek Main interests epistemology, ethics Notable ideas Socratic method, Socratic irony Influenced[show] Plato, Aristotle, Aristippus, Antisthenes Western philosophy Socrates (Greek: Σωκράτης, Sōkrátēs; c. 469 BC399 BC[1]) was a Classical Greek philosopher. Credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, in reality he is an enigmatic figure known only through other people's accounts. It is Plato's dialogues that have largely created today's impression of him.[2] Through his portrayal in Plato's dialogues, Socrates has become renowned for his contribution to the field of ethics, and it is this Platonic Socrates who also lends his name to the concepts of Socratic irony and the Socratic method, or elenchus. The latter remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions, and is a type of pedagogy in which a series of questions are asked not only to draw individual answers, but to encourage fundamental insight into the issue at hand. It is Plato's Socrates that also made important and lasting contributions to the fields of epistemology and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach remains strong in providing a foundation for much western philosophy that followed. As one recent commentator has put it, Plato, the idealist, offers "an idol, a master figure, for philosophy. A Saint, a prophet of the 'Sun-God', a teacher condemned for his teachings as a heretic."[3] Yet, the 'real' Socrates, like many of the other Ancient philosophers, remains at best enigmatic and at worst unknown. Life Carnelian gem imprint representing Socrates, Rome, 1st century BC-1st century AD.Details about Socrates derive from three contemporary sources: the dialogues of Plato and Xenophon (both devotees of Socrates), and the plays of Aristophanes. He has been depicted by some scholars, including Eric Havelock and Walter Ong, as a champion of oral modes of communication, standing up at the dawn of writing against its haphazard diffusion.[6] Aristophanes' play The Clouds portrays Socrates as a clown who teaches his students how to bamboozle their way out of debt. Most of Aristophanes' works, however, function as parodies. Thus, it is presumed this characterization was also not literal. According to Plato, Socrates' father was Sophroniscus and his mother Phaenarete, a midwife. Though characterized as unattractive in appearance and short in stature, Socrates married Xanthippe, who was much younger than he. She bore for him three sons, Lamprocles, Sophroniscus and Menexenus. His friend Crito of Alopece criticized him for abandoning his sons when he refused to try to escape before his execution. It is unclear how Socrates earned a living. Ancient texts seem to indicate that Socrates did not work. In Xenophon's Symposium, Socrates is reported as saying he devotes himself only to what he regards as the most important art or occupation: discussing philosophy. In The Clouds Aristophanes portrays Socrates as accepting payment for teaching and running a sophist school with Chaerephon, while in Plato's Apology and Symposium and in Xenophon's accounts, Socrates explicitly denies accepting payment for teaching. More specifically, in the Apology Socrates cites his poverty as proof he is not a teacher. According to Timon of Phlius and later sources, Socrates took over the profession of stonemasonry from his father. There was a tradition in antiquity, not credited by modern scholarship, that Socrates crafted the statues of the Three Graces, which stood near the Acropolis until the second century AD.[7] Several of Plato's dialogues refer to Socrates' military service. Socrates says he served in the Athenian army during three campaigns: at Potidaea, Amphipolis, and Delium. In the Symposium Alcibiades describes Socrates' valour in the battles of Potidaea and Delium, recounting how Socrates saved his life in the former battle (219e-221b). Socrates' exceptional service at Delium is also mentioned in the Laches by the general after whom the dialogue is named (181b). In the Apology, Socrates compares his military service to his courtroom troubles, and says anyone on the jury who thinks he ought to retreat from philosophy must also think soldiers should retreat when it looks like they will be killed in battle.
