If you have ever tried to stay up all night with a friend, you know that at about 3 or 4 in the morning, things stop making
sense, and make a whole lot more sense at the same time. This of course is a terribly confusing thing for your
sleep-fogged brain, so you begin to
wax philosophical and the thoughts that come out end up just
whacked.
4am Philosophy - when an ordinary college student can understand the intricacies of quantum physics, but fail miserably at understanding something simple. Some of the most interesting thoughts have come from my 4am philosophy sessions... but mostly it just hurt a lot to think that late. =)
