Things I learned from my philosophy major
- Sometimes searching for the idea is the vast majority of the work involved in producing a good piece of work.
- Examples:
- One of the most-memorable things I heard about in my philosophy classes was that one of the most-cited papers was just 3 pages long.
- When I was working on my senior "project" (I think of it as a thesis), I spent a year or two thinking up possible ideas, settled on an idea at the last possible moment (I think literally after the graduation ceremony), and then wrote the entire paper in 48 hours. And I think the idea I came up with was great, and totally worth spending that high a percentage of the total time searching for.
