I was totally and have always been pro-abortion. I don't think that was considered ethical. I wrote for the written final, a treatise on my personal experience with drowning puppies, when I was a child, as a means of birth control for the family dog. I was perhaps naive and thought real experience was more relevant than abstract tracts. He didn't much care for that, but gave me a D, so that made three.
That first semester I also took a philosophy course. In this I think I got an A. That was a good class and a very intelligent perhaps brilliant teacher, however I was unqualified to say which exactly at that time. I was not that far out of my schizo-supernal period, maybe a year or so. Much of my thinking was pretty far out. With my first paper I realized that my logic had to become more conventional. But I needed to do that anyway. College was a good way to restructure my mind, so as to better correspond the intellectual conventions
of the world.
My philosophy professor gave a lecture at some point, but not at the same time I was taking his class, in the auditorium in conjunction with some lecture program for teachers. I was very impressed. I can't remember but it seems to me he was into some concept of the conservative in relation to philosophy. Which means he might have been of some influence on me, although that would have been completely subliminal, since I haven't really thought of him until remembering him in the context of this story.
