Here comes the first blog meme I’m propagating here. Are you ready? You so ready.

From Jamie at Quakerygma (kudos if you get it),

1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
2. Find page 123
3. Find the first 5 sentences
4. Post the next 3 sentences
5. Tag 5 people

From A History of Western Philosophy: The Twentieth Century to Quine and Derrida by W.T. Jones and Robert J. Fogelin, about G.E. Moore’s ethics:

But if the person has normal vision and looks in the right direction when we say “That is yellow,” he or she will understand the meaning of “yellow.” We must only take care to “isolate” the instance of yellow to which we point; for example, we must see to it that when we say “That is yellow,” the person looks at a primrose, not at the violet that is growing beside it.

All of this holds equally of “good.”

And I hereby tag:

1. Heather in L’Arche
2. John Remy of Mind on Fire
3. Pam of reaching for the light
4. Rebecca of Skepchick, who I met on Darwin Day, and who recently gave a talk in New York I failed to blog about in time
5. Sophia Ahmad from the mean streets of Des Moines
