Open Summer Education courses upcoming at Siren's Pull University (SPU):
German Philosophy & Literature - Tues., Thurs. 12:30 - 2 PM
- A comprehensive course covering the ideas of Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and the literary works of Goethe, Kafka, and Mann. Lecture style with discussion encouraged.
Early 20th Century Europe - Mon., Wed., Fri. 2 - 2:50 PM
- Study will center most around the World Wars and what led to both of them, as well as their aftermath. Lecture/discussion course. Taught by newcomer professor, George Smiley, who served in WWII.
[As far as anyone will know, Smiley was a soldier, not a spy.]
Questions on these courses can be directed to Professor Smiley at (NV number), and those interested are asked to register at SPU's enrollment office.
[The innocuous announcement is followed several hours later by an anonymous, untraceable text sent only to Newcomer NVs.]
Who do you stand with on this island, and why?

I've read all of the listed authors, obviously, but I fail to see how re-reading the works of Nietzsche will assist these people in much of anything.
[voice] NOT EVEN SORRY FOR THIS THREADJACK
Not all forms of philosophy are complete hogwash.

He sounds just as insufferable as he does in text.]
Philosophy is hardly an applicable science to our situation, Doctor.
