What An 'A' Grade Philosophy Essay Looks Like

(I'd be lying if I said I wasn't proud of this essay. Read only if you think it is an interesting topic. It concerns the possibility of all external evidence being false.)

Compare and contrast Hume and Kant’s accounts of causation.

TMT Conclusion.

Conclusion: I will do this again.

I wouldn't say my 30 minute thoughts was the hardest thing / challenge ever. But looking back at how inconsistent my moods are per day - I did struggle to do it on about days 4, 5 and 6. I'd say that was the most interesting thing about reading back to my posts, it does give away a lot of the mood I was in and that goes to show how real to my thoughts it was.

Because I was aiming to almost discuss my thoughts I was targeting my language towards the reader - which meant on days where I was feeling less than social, I found it hard to think of anything at all. I feel my spelling and grammar got better as time went on and my favourite post was day seven where I managed to just get onto an idea and run with it of the kind that seems fairly unique to me and mildly controversial in places.

In the future I'd like to try doing 30 minute thoughts with different themes, like I mention in one of the days that I'd like to actually just write a fiction tale like it and see how that works. But I'm likely to try to muster the ability to re-do posts like day 7 where I actually write something worth reading.

Overall I'm quite happy with the support I got, having an average of 25 views per post, making it five times more interesting than I'd initially expected and when the video comes out I expect more people will muster the motivation to watch that than read the blog.

I'm happy with how the experiment went and thank you very much for reading. I think it has improved my ability to write under certain conditions - because now I know I can. So I shall get on with some of that now.

My Experiment

So basically, you can keep up the progress with my experiment here: http://thirtyminutethoughts.blogspot.co.uk/

I explain it in the simplest sense at the top. The idea is to have an interesting Vlog by the end, that might even turn into a Vlog series depending on if I think I could do it more than once. But the whole idea is to spend 30 minutes each day for a week with no plan just constantly writing what comes into my head. This seems more dangerous than it has been so far, but it's kinda fun. If you really wanna read it I appreciate all of your thoughts - I'll be doing it every day and just because it takes 30 minutes to write it doesn't mean it'll take long to read at all. I dunno how many words I average in 30 minutes - but it's readable fairly quickly, and I'm a slow reader.

So I hope you can muster some enthusiasm about the idea, tell me if you think it's a bad idea or whatever - just say something and it's appreciated. All the support or attention I can get from it is welcomes.

As I say, the main aim is to kick start my YouTube with this little idea - giving me a script to write about. The blogs won't be very long, the script will be an insanely condensed version of the week's discussions. So subscribe now and I'll be posting the videos up - and hopefully they'll be interesting.
