		<title>Three Years On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is the three year anniversary of aiusepsi.co.uk, which is a hillariously frightening span of time.
I hope I&#8217;ve said things you people out there have enjoyed reading, I hope that I&#8217;ve become a better writer, a better thinker, and an all-round better person. Who the fuck knows, really, though.
Here&#8217;s to three more years, anyways.

		<title>For Once, Not Politics or Philosophical Essayism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I&#8217;m not feeling OK, I have a tendency to hit the philosophy. There&#8217;s something about contemplating the essential questions of existence that makes your everyday shit seem to be much less of a concern, and more like weird background noise. I&#8217;ve finished reading Nausea, my copy of Catcher in the Rye is back on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m an atheist who takes his atheism extremely seriously, so I&#8217;m very frequently bothered by the inherent philosophical difficulties which come embedded within an atheistic mind-set; I can see why God is an appealing solution to these problems for some people. Personally find it unsatisfactory, mostly because I&#8217;m somewhat of an Occamite; postulating the existence [...]]]></description>

		<title>America, Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The American mythologisation of their own political history is something I find fascinating, as evidenced by some of my previous writing on the subject.
The history of the US is to this day blighted by the legacy of slavery; this is not to say that other countries haven&#8217;t got their hands dirty with slavery too;  many [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imperial College Union Votes to Rename Bars: #phase3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Union is currently in the midst of a plan known as Phase 3 to modernise the Union&#8217;s bar and nightclub areas in place of the existing dBs and da Vinci&#8217;s to make them, y&#8217;know, actually decent places to have a night out. I will concede that da Vinci&#8217;s is alright, but dB&#8217;s is sorely in need [...]]]></description>

		<title>Against Mystery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isn&#8217;t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? &#8211; Douglas Adams
This post began as a response to Jenny&#8217;s article, but it got a little tangential.
I just watched the first in a series of programmes on the history of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>An Outlet for Possibly Misplaced Rage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, somebody nearly opened a door into me.
This was immensely irritating for two reasons:

This door is made of glass. Not frosted glass, either, but honest to goodness clear window glass. You have to be a really extreme species of troglodyte to not see somebody on the other side of a goddamn glass door.
This door has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music Piracy and Star Trek</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is one of those absolutely bizarre ideas that one has completely inexplicably, but then feel the need to share with the world.
Once upon a time, music was scarce. It was all bound up into a physical item: a vinyl record, a tape, or a CD. If you wanted a copy of the music, you’d [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As is customary amongst our people, I am going to tell you what it is I think about stuff that’s been going on.
On Wednesday, Apple announced, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, that they were going to release a new tablet computer, monikered the iPad.
Gallons of ink and… what the fuck is the collective noun [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of the Sun and Streetlights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that we can measure the magnetic field on the surface of the Sun?
That is something I find absolutely marvellous, that we can measure magnetism on something over 92 million miles away from here, on a surface that&#8217;s over 5000 degrees celsius. It&#8217;s one hell of a trick, for sure.
It&#8217;s accomplished by using [...]]]></description>
