I'm watching one of my favorite programs on TV tonight. It's a weekly show on channel 8 (Fuji TV), Thursday nights from 12:45. It's a show on philosophy (yes, on non-public TV) with an interesting twist: the setting is in an upscale bar (image somewhere in Aoyama), and the commentary is carried out in the form of a 30 something year-old male patron who is trying to woo the rather attractive female bartender by displaying to her his in-depth knowledge of philosophy. Needless to say, this kind of show strikes a certian chord with me. Tonight's episode was on Michel Foucault, and despite the rather formidable topic, the patron was able to, in the span of an hour, indeed make his acumen of the thinking arts clear, and he got the seven digits (well...the 11 digits as is the case here in Japan). Which reminds me of something (was it Woody Allen?) someone said once (I'm sure this isn't an exact quote): Why do we go to college? To sound good at parties.
