Sociology
Q: If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around--
Marx: Bulldozers. Bourgeoisie bulldozing forests to make a profit.
Durkheim: Maybe the tree felt some anomie and committed suicide.
Foucault: I may have seen it fall.
Weber: There's going to be paperwork about this.
Mead: Am I the tree and everyone else is the forest? How does the forest see me? How do I see the forest?
Cooley: ^^ Ditto.
Mills: You can't look at the tree without looking at its interaction with the forest. I wrote a whole book about it.
Parsons: The falling tree serves a function in the system of nature.

“At 11:25 a.m., the team tilted up the head of the operating table, turned off the bypass machine, and drained the blood from her body.” This is a trippy, fascinating story and article.
