#like. firstly. Really Want to read weird medieval pseudoscience but there's no class on it :(#secondly. i absolutely will abandon a project i don't like and refuse to acknowledge it no matter what the consequences#i mean. that project is typically not A Child but y'know#gonna enter my frankenstein era. see what profs will individual study avicenna with me#i mean not necessarily his medicine so. maybe i won't make a creature. maybe i'll just make up some silly little theories about god#but also. would be interesting to study the two in tandem with each other? like. the amount of islamic golden age shit i've read that's lik#here is my theory on god! here is my theory on the soul! let me back it up using my GROUNDBREAKING THEORIES ON OPHTHALMOLOGY#also there's the way frankenstein's creature is basically just. hayy ibn yaqzan but for satan. like percy shelley Acknowledges this#i. could stand to reread the book now that i'm in college#and actually. y'know. know what college is like#bc idk it wasn't until now that i drew that parallel of like#hayy ibn yaqzan discovers god through the power of dissecting a deer (SCIENCE GO BRRRR)#whereas. frankenstein kinda. y'know. makes a guy who's convinced he's satan (SCIENCE GO BRRR)#it's. there's something going on w that book. i should reread it
