You are certainly not bothering me. On the contrary, I‟m grateful for
anyone that actually seeks out communication with me, or even for
anyone that will put up with me for a very short time, even in cyber-
reality. So, any time you want to talk about something, write me
without reservation and without apology.
In fact, knowing you are a keen observer of life and people, I‟m
inclined to think you might be asking me these questions as much for
my benefit as for anything else. That is, I have to wonder if you,
having no doubt gathered that I am currently in a bit of an existential
funk, a self-esteem slump, a lonely spot, etc. etc., might be initiating
these conversations at least partly out of sheer kindness or even pity.
To be honest, it makes no difference to me whatsoever.

Are there not more kinds of power than one?
Power as a reality may be neutral or over-all more benefit than hinder.

The world, this one anyway, spinning yarns, string theory and counter-

So it goes on and a round trip to back pedal to simple. Keep it going...
“Here, when the danger to his will is greatest, art approaches as a saving
sorceress, expert at healing. She alone knows how to turn these nauseous
thoughts about the horror or absurdity of existence into notions with which
one can live: these are the sublime as the artistic taming of the horrible,
and the comic as the artistic discharge of the nausea of absurdity.”
~Nietzsche from The Birth of Tragedy
Birth of Tragedy or where the Fall of Grace was not a jump to life but from
Death everlasting, hardly a optimistic approach to why we must go on while
stumbling in the herebefore
So, a main and primary feature of tragedy and at most a tragic interlude, an
almost welcomed interruption from routine, or what seems an inevitable
detour from a well planned heist of Virginia ham, a late end of the hop nod
to nutrition, ah the boys out late last night, for a weekend of caroling in the
merry month of May,
A caterwauling siren who was never seen since or again, a living, live
dream escape to…wait…I ask you once…What is Tragedy for? From which
some good will…more often we know might…come.
…and please
When it arrives, proof, is still a concept of evidence.
Tragedy a departure from script.
Mistaken identity a travesty.
Innocense a backdated reality.
A Comedic camaraderie.

In some sense 'an immovable object and an irresistible force plus what is
not always necessarily constantly neutral, aka 'A sweet spot‟.
Now it may be best or better than smashing pumpkins to imagine how IO,
IF and SS manifest, at this late, or even early if it could only seem that way
more often, date. Another description that perhaps is apt is expression of
dimensions, which seems essentially, at times, a set and setting, from all of
which so much, depends. What appears as rigid, will later bend and the
spinner seemingly detach. That 'seemingly' is a crucible, where fire of
creation forges to make anvils for resistance and hammers to make a beat,
at first is a rhythm, stretching into rhyme, and totally without reason breaks
out and in dance. Life, so soon, without a chance of late, soon begins in.
Plane
She said, "Am I talking to a wall?" I, not at all a wall, who at least feels
compelled to profess illusions of some independent existence and quite
convinced with pounds of mounting proof and evidence of some substantial
and welcomed interdependent other existences.
Replied, "No, you are talking from a wall." Of course I had no idea if this
were true or not, outward appearance did not suggest a wall, although I
suspect a metaphoric barrier might have been implied. Space is an entity, a
relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.

Freedom
Freedom of religious worship and expression is essential to human
dignity -- which makes blocking the construction of a mosque for religious
reasons a violation of Christian belief. And laws preventing the building of
churches in Mecca or Riyadh do not make this principle less important
here.

By Michael Gerson
Every religious tradition has two competing visions. First, religion may be a
source of tribal identity. This was the norm for centuries in Western history.
The Christian church jostled for social power along with other interests,
pursuing a tribal agenda at the expense of Jews, heretics at home and
Muslims abroad. The goal was to see Christian theological beliefs publicly
recognized and favored. This remains a temptation in the United States
and a problem in much of the world, where the appeal of the tribe remains
strong.
a fall from grace, from familiar trusted sources does not usually occur
from an original source but from lineage, some that are raised from
scratch, or as needed from recruitment, plants enter in as many ways that
can be procured.
Grand larceny is the sort of thing about which intelligent creatures feel

"Better to have lofty ideas than to have none at all." - Vonnegut
Culture/Nature/Groups:
Concepts are abstractions measured by the degree that they are related
to ongoing behavior streams, Culture is not only the content of minds, but
are also patterns of measurable behavior. People in separate cultures
differ in the way they think and how they behave, how they make a living,
according to the content of their social, artistic and ritual activities.
Difference between concepts and categories applied by culture members
to their own lives and the world they live in - are distinct from categories
used by anthropologists in describing and understanding them.
An Intellectual
I came across the idea while reading a book. The character, a young
adult, dreamed about the time she took a trip to a great water falls, when
she was little.
Space/Time is considered real stuff, the cement between the bricks of the
particles.
Space/Time is the localized part of us that survives intact, absent the
scattering of particles, death is thus observed to be neutralized.
Space/Time - that does not hold particles together, death/destruction is a
mini many BIG BANG! Minus without the heat - but complete with slow
expansion - a kind of drifting - from which minds emerged, now
submerged to become devitalized.

A Hilbert space is always a Banach space*, but the converse need not
hold.

Then what are you doing in his space?" (S. A. Vaughn, pers. comm., Jul.

I think we've gotten the picture by now, otherwise you really are talking to
the dead, who really are clueless about everything that happens after they
die, but can be sure to fill heads with things that happened before death set
in.
So as the words drip and dry from deaf ears, the hollow laughter echoes
into the only stuff you can relate from. You may simply have a
malnourishment of evil, an overabundance of conscience, like Vincent
before you, you are too good for this world and just as likely the next, but
aren't you glad there may not be one, at this point no educated guesses
can do any better than 50/50. Again, even numbers have no reliable
standards that can avoid alterations that mix metaphors with analogies,
with token sentimentality, topped off with incendiary literalness. Meanwhile
your literary one-trick pony…. anyway if you are not the one not evil, why
not, you are guaranteed to gain nothing nor lose nothing by this rather
arbitrary choice, less you believe you could ever be the only one to try it,
someday you'll be, uselessly to you, either venerated or absolutely mired in
forgetfulness like all the other not evil that have come before and after, only
you in this middle is a possible missing link., if you were to momentarily
forget your non-caring, it still will not be worth as much as abdicating acting
above inaction, due to your internal weather of perpetual gloom.
We are just a little bit aware of the universe, imagine what it might be like if
the universe became just a little bit aware us.
It cannot be done with fear, but maybe with caution. It cannot be done with

What could be more relevant to you than your own name?
Nothing could be more than or perhaps same as, yet some 'what'
could be as relevant or almost as relevant, or certainly as near as
relevant, dependent on opportunity or availability.
Autopoiesis
The term was originally introduced by Chilean biologists Humberto
Maturana and Francisco Varela in 1972:
An autopoietic machine is a machine organized (defined as a unity) as
a network of processes of production (transformation and
destruction) of components which: (i) through their interactions and
transformations continuously regenerate and realize the network of
processes (relations) that produced them; and (ii) constitute it (the
machine) as a concrete unity in space in which they (the components)
exist by specifying the topological domain of its realization as such a
network.
[…] the space defined by an autopoietic system is self-contained and
cannot be described by using dimensions that define another space.
When we refer to our interactions with a concrete autopoietic system,
however, we project this system on the space of our manipulations
and make a description of this projection.

Any ideas of balancing something, where great pleasure demands

What is consciousness?
It may not have occurred to a singular consciousness to answer what
is being asked, without assuming identities that mediate.
Consciousness has no single or precise definition, what it has is
multiple and imprecise definitions, the isness has periodic memory,
awareness, emotions, thoughts and identity that are actions to
responses, as well as responses to actions.

The Appendage:
Ok, so far there are the usual nick picks of tori spelling,
kelsey grammar and clarity bell, I suppose these are more
proof-reading and not strictly speaking review, but I am still
reading, for some one who has come accustomed to taking
my time, I suppose it might be a sign that I just couldn't put
it down and just couldn't wait to put it down. Anyway, some
early thoughts of...
Playing on the radio...."It's all been done."....and now my
sweet Lord.
Well we do not need to go for the hidden meanings to see
that fiction falls short of trying to provide a picture of the
future.....so far.
So, we are talking about what is direct and indirect. I have
to reach a conclusion, but not before I finish reading. I am
at this point still reaching,
Waiting while you wait too. and perhaps I am naked too.

I‟d never get the nerve to put a file in the cake, ignore ziggy
and zag, eschew a rack of lamb, actually listen to someone‟s
else inner voice. There would be no more surprises, tucked
somewhere between a brand new drill, a most favored trade
status and Buffalo Bill‟s most ironic mistake.
And most of all, have all the flavors run dry, a niche without a
weapon, a pill without symptom, a day like yesterday that
didn‟t mean a thing.
But they do, baby, they do.
They swerve, sometimes stop like they never had a spin,

With you my love we're going to stick up the past
We'll hold today to ransom 'til our quartz clock stop until

Is good and evil...like oranges and apples?
none comparable categories.
I'm thinking that good doesn't have an opposite.
Good is not divine, but likes divine, may even try and so love
it.
Evil is not so much evil as opposition.
How one might oppose divine might largely
be...unknown...unknowable.
Question might be...is unknowable... exist-able (existential)?
I'm not saying this is sensible...it is thinking out loud or in
this case writing out this to you. At the moment, machines
don't seem to have a life of their own, only in what is given to
them, some simulated activity as tools, extensions, if power
does not corrupt,
how could a machine, a snake or lizard?
But then, I don't think lizards and snakes are machines.
Neanderthals, etc., may not be so much extinct as become
recessive.
Not so much leaders as followers or following, but it is us in
their footsteps.

space, still finding places in the environments we build,
