Nothing means anything without everything.

The immune system is adaptive like intelligence;

The former (de)codes changing pathogens,
the latter (de)codes changing expressions.

Top-down hierarchies need secrecy to succeed.

They are in trouble in the age of the Internet.

Infinity is a big topic.

I don’t think it’s gonna be understood fully in any finite period of time. We have a hint of just how rich that realm is, but we haven’t understood the smallest fraction of it. And this of course is because by its very nature the subject of infinity is a vast and infinite subject.

(W.Hugh Woodin)

The existential paradox is resolved by separating birth from death.

Not only think like your enemies,

but also feel like them,
and more.

Politics is not only outside,

it is also inside.

The belief in the freedom of expression comes from the knowledge of and the faith in the collective human nature.

Dignity can not survive the submission of the personal freedom to an outer agent.

Our last stronghold is creativity,

The scientist uses intense emotions to understand,

Populist Manifesto No. 1

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Strict materialism and narrow scientism work in the interest of the shepherds, by alienating the intellectuals from the masses.

Information is like food for intelligence;

It is collected, cooked, eaten and digested,
in the gardens of the earth and the community.

Problems are created by the solutions to the problem of problem creation.

The fear of death has been amplified and turned into a political, religious, and military weapon against the masses.

Secretive networking selects the worst.

Where there is a fight for survival,

there is consciousness of the self and the other.

The ultimate origins will always hide behind an impenetrable wall of paradox,

impenetrable by mathematics anyway.

Before number, there was none.

Unbecome,

rise above yourself,
and become again,
at every moment.

The army is, some guy you don't know sends you out to whack some other guy you don't know.

(Donnie Brasco)

While we dream of a great hi-tech future,

we may already be living within a future dream.

Knowable contains unknowable,

unknowable contains knowable.

Speak softly, and carry a big stick.

(Theodore Roosevelt)

For there to be relativity,

there must be uncertainty,

for there to be relative,
there must be absolute,
for there to be certain,
there must be uncertain.

Once more into the fray

Into the last good fight I'll ever know
Live and die on this day
Live and die on this day

(The Grey)

To act is easy. To think is hard.

But the hardest thing in the world is to think in accordance with your acting.

To think is easy. To act is hard.

But the hardest thing in the world is to act in accordance with your thinking.

(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Mathematics catalogues everything that is not self-contradictory;

within that vast inventory, physics is an island of structures rich enough to contain their own beholders.

(Greg Egan)

Forgiveness is good when deserved,

otherwise it adds to the injustice.

The problem with ego and power is that the latter leaves and does not notify the former.

Wherever there is number, there is beauty.

(Proclus)

Bottomless wonders spring from simple rules,

which are repeated without end.

(Benoit Mandelbrot)

I sat down (at the clavier), began to improvise, sad or happy according to my mood, serious or trifling. Once I had seized upon an idea, my whole endeavour was to develop and sustain it in keeping with the rules of art.

(Joseph Haydn)

If I'm going to have faults,

I would rather they be my own.

Don’t tune up too much, baby,

We live a short time, but we are also as old as the universe itself.

Do onto others 20% better than you'd expect them to do unto you to correct for subjective error.

Without a master, there is no way anyone can attain enlightenment.

Religious and nationalist terrorism bubble up from the society, as much as it is designed by the ruling elites to channel the opposition into dead ends.

Space-Time, Black-Hole,

Sanity, Insanity.

The final frontier is insanity.

Every moment is a little birth and a little death.

Are you living life?

or is it living you?
that's the question.

Compete to cooperate,

and cooperate to compete.

What is the greatest thing ye can experience?

It is the hour of great contempt. The hour in which even your happiness becometh loathsome unto you, and so also your reason and virtue.

(Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra)

Once you capture the fools,

they are yours forever.

Boasting covers insecurity.

Will is like muscle,

it weakens when not used.

Reality is made of,

location and translation,

We can not live in the past,

but the past is in us.

(An aboriginal)

Black absorbs all,

white reflects all,
colour absorbs some,
and reflects the other.

Black has none,
white has it all,
colour has some,
and lacks the other.

Sanity is made of infinite insanities.

If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.

(Einstein)

When you sit down with no painting,

you get lonely.

Growth contains evolution,

In science and all its applications, what is crucial is not technical ability, but it is imagination -- the ability to form concepts with images of entities and processes pictured by intuition.

Nothing appears more surprising to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.

(David Hume, Of The First Principles of Government.)

When you reach 95,

after you get over your surprise,
you start looking back.

(Kirk Douglas)

What are we if we don't try to help others?

We are nothing,
nothing at all.

Consciosness forms and expresses,
between cell and body,
and individual and collective,
and sense and action.

The universe forms and expresses,
between particle and black-hole,
and charge and field,
and poosition and moomentum.


Each acquiring their own organs,
at four levels;

Cells are inner to outer,
and female to male,
organs are inner to outer,
and left to right.

Individual is young to old,
and female or/to male,
collective are small to large,
and relative to non-relative,

Senses are inner to outer,
and left to right,
actions are inner to outer,
and left to right.


Particles are young to old,
and small to large,
black-holes are inner to outer,
and small to large.

Charges are mass and electric-charge,
and weak and strong-charge,
fields are gravity and electric-field,
and weak and strong-fields.

Poosition is duration and distance,
and area and volume,
moomentum is energy and momentum,
and acceleration and spin.

You might think that your hand grew fingers by adding cells. No --- actually, cell death etched away at your embryonic hand to create spaces between your fingers.

Internet is an experiment that never ended.

Standing at the baggage, passing time:

Austin, Texas, airport–my ride hasn’t come yet.
My former wife is making Web sites from her home,
one son’s seldom seen,
the other and his wife have a boy and girl of their own.
My wife and stepdaughter are spending weekdays in town
so she can get to high school.
My mother, ninety-six, still lives alone and she’s in town, too,
always gets her sanity back just barely in time.
My former former wife has become a unique poet;
most of my work,
such as it is       is done.
Full moon was October 2nd this year,
I ate a mooncake, slept out on the deck,
white light beaming through the black boughs of the pine,
owl hoots and rattling antlers,
Castor and Pollux rising strong–
--it’s good to know that the polestar drifts!
That even our present night sky slips away;
not that I’ll see it.
Or maybe I will, much later,
some far time walking the spirit path in the sky,
that long walk of spirits–where you fall right back into the
“narrow painful passageway of the Bardo”
squeeze your little skull
and there you are again

waiting for your ride

–Gary Snyder

I am me,

I me am-

am me I-

am I me?

me, am I?

me, I am!

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth,

— more than ruin — more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.

(Bertrand Russell)

Living is worship at the altars of birth and death.

Best worship is own creation.

You’re curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off.

There are so many adventures that you miss because you’re waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.

(Munroe, ‘Choices: Part 4’)

Art today is condemned to a separate existence for present day life is essentially tragic.

But in some distant future, art and life will be one.

(Piet Mondrian)

Consciousness, memory,

transformation, survival.

The most precious commodity power can acquire is secrecy.

Dalai Lama is the new Pope,

and Buddhism is the new Christianity.

“There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind,
and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.”

(Buddha)

Institutionalised spirituality is an oxymoron,

it must end.

It seems to be a being,

yet also a non-being.

It can not stand being pinned down,
yet likes to be observed and adored.

I call it a bitch sometimes,
I am not sure if it likes it.

The Jesus Christ myth in the modern context;

You will not be appreciated in your time,
and you will be sacrificed for trying.

If it succeeds I will enjoy it,

but if it fails and falls on its face,
I will enjoy it even more,
and laugh all the way down.

There are some invariants of life that never change with scale,

and join the fine structure of the universe in the limit.

Good music comes from the heart and the mind,

not from the fingers.

(Schumann, through Maurice Jarre)

Everything flows from music.

(Peter Weir)

Some pain need to be uncovered to be felt consciously.

The Road Not Taken

 TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

(Robert Frost)

The cooperation to compete with others, evolves through the competition to cooperate within.

Childhood is cannibals and psychotics vomiting in your mouth.

(Maurice Sendak)

The task is not just to understand the world but to change it.

(Karl Marx)

We don't only love our parents,

we also hate them.

(Alain De Botton)

Wherever there is a preacher class removed from science,

expect mass stupidity.

Every man is for himself.

(Corrupt rich men)

Identity is the one who speaks the language of survival.

Don't mistake activity for achievement.
