For Tuesday, collect the best five journal entries from #8 to #15. Hand them into me as a package. 5 x5 marks = /25
From that package, choose your best journal entry. Type it into a good copy paragraph and send it to me via Office 365. /24

You'll need at least 5 journal entries from #8 to #15 for Monday. Here are the most recent:

(#15) In your opinion, is the universe a system of mechanical laws that acts without thought, or is there some spiritual, moral force that provides meaning to our lives, or is there nothing? Is there a 4th option?
(#14) Do you believe in the “brain in the vat” scenario? What evidence/arguments are there that it might be true and that you’re controlled? Are there any evidence/arguments to support free will?
(#13) If you could pass the rest of your life cared for in every way as you slumbered peacefully, entranced by wonderful dreams, would you do so?
(#12) If you could choose the sex and physical appearance of your soon-to-be-born child, would you do it? Why or why not? Would it make a difference if we were talking about diseases like Parkinson’s?
