Monotheism is fascism in religion.

If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.

The regressives will regret for pushing the progressives into organising.

I write books not because I have answers,

I write books because I have questions.

Detox regularly,

off ideas, people, drugs and food,
and reach and deepen your ground.

Translate, invert and rotate before decision.

Infinity infects the finite.

(John Baez)

Hacking into computers is fun,

hacking into human minds is even better,
but nothing beats hacking into the universe.

Mathematics is tricky ways of doing something which would be laborious otherwise.

(Feynman)

Objects and animals slow down as they get bigger.

Notes and phrases get less frequent as they lower tone.

The puritan desire to be free of all desires is itself a desire.

I am thankful of being not thankful of some things.

Creativity can not be forced, since it can not be specified.

Don't believe everything you think.

(Anon.)

The present is incomplete,

it flows to the future to complete itself.

Guilt is easily the most corrosive feeling a human being can feel.

(Darius Rejali, torture expert)

Geek is the new cool.

(Anon)

All living have faith,

at least in the worthiness of living.

Absolute rationalists are in denial of the half of reality.

All are related.

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin....All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer....

To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.

To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.

To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.

To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.

To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.

To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages, I thank you.

To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.

You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.

Thank you for this Life.

(a traditional Lakota Sioux prayer)

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.

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

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.

If I'm going to have faults,

I would rather they be my own.

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,

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,

Black absorbs all,

white reflects all,
colour absorbs some,

Black has none,

Sanity is made of infinite insanities.

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

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.

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.

(Vint Cerf)

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)
